    Well if Scotland is serious about making money they would get into the arms business like a lot of the other so called virtue waving democracies! could always exploit other countries assests like people first off, then gold and all the other ium ending commodities alongside power structures both false and real ones or temporary real ones, nothing lasts forever

    I'd call Thales, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, RTX, Leonardo & Babcock (amongst others) pretty serious.

    I suppose if anyone did invest in the above it would make it easier to wave their virtues about, although how democratic and inclusive that would be seen I do not know.

    Provided they toe the line over who they supply.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Jean Cocteau 1889-1963
