The UK government has announced plans to stage a colossal military parade through the heart of Edinburgh, featuring controversial Trident nuclear missiles, in an effort to drum up support for the union.

The event, which is aimed to demonstrate the United Kingdom’s strength and reaffirm its commitment to national security, has drawn sharp criticism.

As part of the UK’s efforts to reinforce the Union amidst growing calls for Scottish independence, the Ministry of Defence has unveiled plans for a grand military procession through Edinburgh’s bustling city centre. The parade will be headed by tartan-painted Trident missiles.

Details of the event reveal an extensive line-up of military hardware, including fighter jets, tanks, and infantry regiments, all culminating in a dramatic flyover by the iconic Red Arrows. However, it is the inclusion of the Trident missiles that has drawn the most attention and sparked heated debates among politicians and citizens alike.

Scottish nationalists have denounced the parade as a blatant attempt to intimidate the population and distract from the legitimate concerns surrounding the Trident missile system’s presence in Scotland. Critics argue that the procession could escalate tensions and further polarise public opinion on the issue of independence.

“In an effort to rally support for the Union and remind our dear Scotch subjects of the benefits they enjoy as part of the United Kingdom, we have announced plans for a grand military parade through the heart of Edinburgh, featuring the much-discussed Trident nuclear missiles,” said Minister of Union, Condescending and Cultural Affairs, Hugh Morus.

“We are confident that this magnificent display of military might will not only dazzle the natives but also serve as a gentle reminder of the role they play in the broader UK defence strategy. After all, everyone needs a little nudge now and then to remember where their true allegiance lies.”


Congratulations, and thank you for reading the whole article; this is just an April Fools Day joke. The article above is not true, and if anyone is sharing it after April 1st, please remind them of that fact.

The purpose of this article, aside from our usual April Fool’s Day joke, is to make the point that reading beyond the headline should be the norm every day, not just on the 1st of April. There’s a large volume of misinformation online. Make sure you don’t add to it by sharing articles without reading them. Finally, be careful of the person sharing this article after the 1st of April as they very clearly don’t read what they share.

  1. Long overdue parade.
    I mean if Mad Vlad, Kim Jong and Mr Xi can parade nukes through their cities then dear tiny little Rishi Sinak should be allowed too.

    • I came for the furious rants in the comments section but everyone keeps spoiling it by pointing out what day it is! 😂

      • Mind you the RAF on special mission to support vital supplies over North Pole every 12 mths don’t come out this time of year so plenty of leeway it seems.

    • Mind you as we parade our sparse collection of missiles through the streets what better time for mad Vlad to strike.

    • The SNP obviously believe there is enough wickedness in Scotland already.

      Quote by Claire Mitchell KC, leader of the campaign to pardon witches executed after the Reformation.

      “Per capita, during the period between the 16th to the 18th century, we executed five times as many people as elsewhere in Europe, the vast majority of them women,To put that into perspective, in Salem 300 people were accused and 19 people were executed. We absolutely excelled at finding women to burn in Scotland. Those executed weren’t guilty, so they should be acquitted.”

      Looks like the Scots under the SNP are going back to the future and embracing their tradition of paranoia. Humzah Yusaf has appointed himself witch finder general and J.K. Rowling is the first witch to be put on trial.

  2. Talking of missiles (And not an April fools) Russia has released video of what they claim is a downed Storm Shadow (In very good nick) do a search on
