    Ah yes the mighty Scots fleet would keep Jock and his apprentice busy for about a fortnight I reckon. 😀
    Not just defence spending of course, can't see the Student Loans Company or Skytv hanging around in a foreign country for too long post independence.


    Wow your hatred is so refreshing, never saw that one coming ... and yet the SNP are accused of hating the English... ohhhh dont tell me ... your only kidding when you say Jock and I need to get a sense of humour

    You're confusing hatred with realism, are you sure you're from Plymouth?
    The possibility of private companies relocating and the loss of UK public sector jobs was a big factor in the failure of the YES campaign in my view. All part of the failure of the SNP to make the economic case for independence I suppose.

    Name calling...really?
    Surely if you can stray into flippancy, than I can also?
    To my recollection I've never said the Scots hate the English. I do believe that within most if not all SNP supporters there is a finely honed antipathy toward the English, not helped by the tactics employed by the SNP hierarchy.

    Most nationalists are racists too. Good to hear the SNP are exceptions.

    Nothing new. Just repackaged. The ideals remain the same as when the party was formed in the 30's.

    Don't be offended, if an English person can be vicariously offended by the use of the Scottish 'everyman' term Jock of course. 😀
