Prior to the Falklands War B'stard was paid - by the Argentinians - to dispose of a quantity of nuclear waste but has so far done nothing about it so he persuades his disgraced (transsexual) accountant Norman Borman to help him. He plans to use a former coal-mine owned by his father-in-law Sir Roland Gidleigh-Park but Sir Roland refuses. Eventually B'stard discovers why. The mine contains a load of mustard gas which the government had planned to use in the General Strike of 1926 and which has been there ever since. Sir Roland does offer B'stard an alternative dumping ground - though at a price.
