A large, secret, underground complex has been discovered beneath a wood near Horsington. Its purpose is not clear, but he Ministry of Defence’s fingerprints are all over it. Expect property prices in the area to fall.
The Blog literally stumbled upon the secret complex while exercising dogs in the wood, which is on private property, but which can be accessed by tracked vehicles from the old railway line.
There has been a noticeable increase in digging activity recently, with a lot of heavy plant and machinery on the roads. Large lorries carrying away heaps of spoil have been seen, and there are still piles of earth and dead trees littering the landscape.
The work has been done under cover of improving the drainage on the marsh, but the true purpose was revealed when the entrance to the secret complex was discovered.
It looks for all the world like a disused privy in the corner of a remote wood. But who would put a privy there? Then health and safety-obsessed officials gave the game away by posting safety notices on the entrance door while work was in progress on the site and personnel were below ground.
The Blog’s security adviser, a retired colonel who lives in nearby Yenston told us “This a classic MI5 trick. The chemical toilet lifts away to reveal a shaft leading underground, just the sort of thing the chaps did to hide tunnels in WW2 prison camps”.
The landlord of the Half Moon has reported that there have been quite a few mysterious guests at the pub recently. “They leave early and come back late. They never go to the bar and they talk in a foreign language.”
“This is typical of MI5”, the colonel told us. “Just the sort of cunning stunt and double bluff they would engage in!”
Other tell tale signs of something going on are the unusual concentration of large solar power farms in the immediate area, the unannounced closure of roads at short notice, alterations and interruptions to the water supply, and major work on the telecommunications infrastructure involving traffic control on the A357.
We tried to confront our local councillor, William Wallace, with the facts on April 1st and asked if he would comment, but an aide told us that he was unavailable as he was “on a mission in Africa”.
It is all highly suspicious, and we promise to keep readers informed.
