By "interesting" I assume you meant "fiercely biased"!!? :cheers:

Interesting read, although this is all extrapolated from an "unnamed source" whilst those willing to stick their head above the parapet (arguably those making the decisions) are saying the polar,opposite. Not saying which is more believable right enough!

I thought he has been pretty much a NO man in the past.

To assist, here's a list of deep water ports in GB-

Any of them viable?

Yes, Barrow.

How do you define interesting?

Interesting as I thought he was more of the NO complexion and for the comment piece to be in the Herald (which is Glasgow and West of Scotland's broadsheet newspaper)

I know you both made these posts on a Saturday night, and wine and beer can be the undoing of any man, so I'll ask, neither of you were serious,were you?

Deadly!! We all know that following a hypothetical 'Yes' vote there will be a long period of discussion and planning to separate systems and assets. Nukes will be a part of that debate and a iScotland demanding a fast removal of nuclear Subs would only trigger tit for tat actions. It just wont happen.

I never thought I'd type this but this man is talking sense, not a chance it will happen.

Thanks. 'Gulp' :thup:

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Clegg comparing Salmond to Farage smacks of desperation.... or someone totally out of touch with Scottish politics.

What a disappointment Danny Alexander has turned out to be. He seems to have visited the Margaret Thatcher change of image department.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Barrow is the obvious place to move the nukes but I seem to remember an issue with Sellafield [or happy valley or whatever it is called now]

 

[Adi2Dassler]

Yes, Barrow.

Transportation of nuclear waste from Sellafield and it being a major gas terminal rules it out, according to select committees.

March 2016.So you were wrong with 'tough', now it's 'long period of discussion'...sounds like you've been taking lessons from Carmichael in the softening of your stance.

There would be a long period of discussion, if anyone believes any major changes would happen in a short time frame they are deluded. I repeat! If an iScottish administration gave a period of short notice to remove the Subs then the response would have to be 'Tough! we need time'

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Socket...you are beginning to sound like Gideon.
Next thing will be all the rUK saying Salmond is just full of bluff and bluster about the Nukes.
The difference is ......he isn't.
A nuclear free Scotland is high on the agenda of iScots.

Apologies, independence day for Scotland, the day when everything really does change, for everyone on this island.

So the "failed economist" holds all the trump cards.

You really are risking being called delusional.

Still it will all be irrelevant when the vote is NO.

Question. Do Scots celebrate a St Andrews Day?

As someone who had to go skip across the wall to clear and sort out your rubbish, help bury your dead and crap myself whilst I fought your fires I am at a lose to understand why the noisey minority are so determined to drive a wedge between the Union. The only argument I hear is that you are all p*ssed of with Westminster, well as strange as it may seem, so are the rest off us.

Perhaps someone could tell me in all honesty what this is really all about and how will the nationalist and republicans react if, as seems likely there is a No vote.

 

[Dodger]

I find it somewhat amusing that so many people like poking fun at the country for a huge amount of reason and not all of them sport related yet are clinging on for dear life to keep them as part of the UK.

Why?

Tiz a national sport from both sides. Get over it.

Over what?

I am genuinely looking for an answer to my question.Care to answer it?
