(Also for anyone who was confused by this, it's not about the poles, it's about the point where the bearings for all three norths are equivalent. So a "compass" would point in the same direction regardless of what kind of north it reported. Took me a moment to understand!)
The magnetic north wanders around, and it now happens to match along the 2° meridian.
But really the article is a year early, as the alignment point should make a brief landfall in Scotland late next year (which the article acknowledges later on). Or perhaps they expect Scotland to secede before that.
Love that, sounds like something Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett would write :)
