I think if I lived in Sheerness I'd be looking to relocate PDQ, and I bet the security services are double chuffed about this exposure.

The govt. it appears, have been sitting in the problem for five years.

OTOH this might be better news for some of the denizens of this forum :D

No, I definitely I definitely prefer the one where Sheerness gets blown up..

Who needs terrorists when you leave 1400 tons of high explosive ordnance rusting in an estuary for 60 years?

The key for Sheerness residents to enjoy a succesful future is the adaptation of the above two New Scientist stories, if done in the right order , they'll not notice if it goes bang!
