should they feel obliged to pursue the matter, we'd like to point out
the following interesting statistics:

Total number of ballistic missile submarines:
UK: 4
Denmark: 0

Total number of operationally-available nuclear warheads:
UK: 200+
Denmark: 0


Fantastic bit of research Arthur - the aforementioned article has
solved the mystery of exactly why the UK has spend £XXXX billion on a
nuclear arms programme - it's so we can enforce our claim on Rockall.

Still, imagine how much better out nuclear arsenal would be if we'd
spent the £9bn that's been frittered away on the West Coast
modernisation on a proper doomsday device... then no-one would mess
with us and our Rockall.
