David Maddox: Going behind enemy lines

Patrick Harvie has today led a delegation of Greens on a tour around Hunterston B Nuclear Power Station in Ayrshire.

It may come as a shock that this is not a "break-in" by anti-nuclear protesters, but a guided tour of the facility which is due to be decommissioned in 2016. Although when I spoke on the phone to his press officer Jame MacKenzie, while he was on the tour, his hushed tones suggested something surreptitious was going on. As we all know the Greens are virulently anti-nuclear.

Apparently they were not expecting to find an Ayrshire version of Homer Simpson (pictured).

Shockingly, it seems that the inveterate twitter Mr Harvie has not added a nuclear power station to his list of unusual places to tweet.
