At my work (2000 employees) there is not one person i have spoken to will be voting yes. As we work on defence contracts I wouldn't expect it to be any other way tbh

And so according to Darling on the Marr show - BT are going to stop being quite so negative and start accentuating the positives. That'll be good - rather change of tack since to date I've heard repeatedly that BT don't have to state the benefits of a NO vote - it's up to the YES campaign to sell benefits. Anyway - looking forward to hearing from BT what a NO vote will mean for the Scots electorate.

Looks like the blinking Darling didn't send the memo...

For me taking aside his bold use of language this is the important part, laugh and joke all you like about security but this part is very serious.

Defence is one of those areas that a small country hopes the expenditure is a complete waste of money! Or at least a 'disguised grant' to boost the economy.
The re-location of rUK's nuclear weapons and iScotland's participation in Nato are separate issues imo.
Disappointing, but not unexpected, that so many appear to be deciding which way to vote on the basis of 'what's best for me now' rather than 'what's best for my/the children and theirs'. Understandable for those working in the Defense related industry though.

In the year 2016 do you think Scotland will really need Trident and NATO.
They strike me as being 'yesterday's people'.
What country is going to attack Scotland?

It chimes with BT's strategy of project fear.It suggests that Scotland wouldn't be a responsible international partner.Robertson took on Hosie last year in a debate at Tayside uni (I think they both went there) How this guy rose thru the ranks to where he is now is a dreadful reflection on the state of polics in The UK (and I include Scotland in that)
BT/unionists need to stick to one story when it comes to coulport/faslane.Just last week on this very thread the direct opposite of this was being touted as the BT stance, but now iScotland would be effectively disarming The UK...which is it?And the suggestion that a nukefree Scotland would not be welcomed into NATO is a joke and the other non-nuke members of NATO should be advised they're not welcome,leaving America and France.

Adi, thanks for the Lord George v Hosie thread [why am I always wary of Labour politicians who take the ermine.]
Quite interesting stuff, Hosie was impressive IMO.
The students laughed at the girl who thought Scotland may get attacked by another country.
From 1.13 to 1.16 for those who wish a perspective on the ££££.
Lord George implied Scotland does not have a culture or language.
[Never been to Celtic Connections then.]

I thought you were talking about Putin! Even went to the BBC website 'cos I was sure that'd be big news!

So are there no more threats around the world anymore ?

There probably are, but I'll go out on a limb here and state none of them are from an independent Scotland.
