It was on our news, the north is after independence now.:rolleyes:
So here's hoping.(y)
I removed you duplicate posting Ron, hope you don't mind.;)
 
Seems the North of England ( Newcastle, Sunderland, Manchester, Liverpool etc,) have been asking if they can come with us.
Please remember Cameron only lifted a finger when Prince Charles told him to get his finger out and send troops to held the people who were flooded. Somerset levels were flooded before Christmas wont be dry before this Christmas. If they wont look after English people, what chance do we have????????

Gerry I used the flooding as an example. During the last big floods the North got a hammering nothing much was done, this flooding Somerset got a terrible flooding on the levels. I think they had 600 Marines doing a super job but only for a day or two. Water came near London and the money and a woman told the Defence Secretery the work ordinary English people were doing to protect their homes. 3000 troops were dispatched in a couple of days. Prince Charles had to tell Cameron to get his finger out and help or their would still be nothing done. Boss of the Environment Agency refused to drege the Levels when the people there asked for £M4 but spent £M31 building a bird sanctury. Dont know how many birds were drowned in the floods. When invited to visit Somerset he didnt even have wellies and thought he was there to look at the birds.
This is a bad time to ask about Independence as a lot of people will vote YES just to get away from Cameron and his team of Chancers.

No one has answered the topic, if we get independence is it the end of war for Scotland :whistle: that has got to be worth something ,Four times we have been in Afghanistan and learnt nothing
 
The simple answer Ron is nobody knows, certainly not the SNP whose White Paper of Sept 2009 is woefully scant on defence matters. It makes 4 basic points one of which indicates that we would militarily intervene in areas of conflict along with other nations. Basically the decisions would be made by politicians so no change really
Since then of course they have come up with a proposal that the Scottish Regiments could form the Scottish Defence Force. In the event of not being involved internationally this force would essentially become an internal security force......plenty of historical precedents to show us how well that works :eek:
Would we need all the returning personnel.....if not what happens to the surplus?
Will Scottish servicemen and women be given a choice of whether to stay in the British Armed Forces or would they be compelled to come north. Certainly becomes an easy way to make defence savings for Westminster.

Anyway this discussion is Political and goes against the rules of the thread. :D
 
people in Scotland are not worried about defence issues, we have always had the Stanley knife and the half brick./badger

Stanley knives would require to be imported from England with all the required compliance issues relating to trafficking in weapons.
So if we stick to half bricks we can establish a specialist mortar division.

Can we come?(y)
 
i am proud of being Scottish but I am also proud of being british, I don't think the problem lies in what part of the country we live in, the problem lies in no confidence in the people running the country, the suits I call them. all we hear about are politicians and bankers being corrupt ,giving themselves massive bonuses and pay rises and cutting public services to the bone. I like the idea of Scottish independence but I am not convinced that the people who would run it would be any different than the people down south. with the current world recession I think it would be a bad idea to change horses midstream? I have more confidence in the Stanley knife and half brick./badger
