The current party in power in Scotlands devolved government is the Scottish National Party.

They have never made any quams about their anti nuclear capability stance. Anyway, they thankfully do not control defence, that's is done at a national level from the UK government.
So the Scottish nationalsits are very much against the regeneration of Britains Trident nuclear programme, this matters to them greatly as the British nuke subs are based in Scotland. The Nats have now found a way to halt the Trident programme or at least stop it being housed on Scottish waters.
Like thus...

To update the Trident programme a series of dry dock have to be built, planning permissions have to be assesed, evaluated and risked for enviromental impact. Giving the Nats control the areas where these docks are going to be built they have already made it clear that there shall be increased sewage  amongst other reasons to halt the programme or at least in Scottish waters. So the Nats get their way and the nukes are out of Scotland.

Personaly I'm a believer in Mutualy Assured Destruction and believe nukes have a post cold war role to play in this ever increasing World where we know not our enemy like we did CW past.

I never voted the Nats, but when they got into power I have to raise a hand and admit that that they have started to do some stuff that I believe socially just and fair. Just starting to get grips with the idea of them and actualy liking it when they start this idiotic (IMO) display of throwing a spanner in the works.
Leave the defense at a UK level and stop interfering you fecks!!!

Quite right.

The government so far has been happy to base them here but when it came down to who got the contract to refit and repair them we got fucked over in favour of Devonport for the Vanguard contract which is worth £Billions to the local economy.
And the reason for that was because we never toed the line with Blairs government, the wanker.
(*edit* It was bugging me who was in power at the time so I went to look, turns out it was just after the Tories got in for the last time..Imagine me not knowing the difference between Labour and the Tories anymore.. ..so that'll be me and 60 million other people then.. )

I'm in favour of nukes myself, but if we take the risk of having them based here, their weapons being stored here and the constant risk of serious pollution happening here then we should at least get the benefit of the employment and boost to the economy they bring.

If not then they can get tae fuck with them and base them in the Falklands or something.
(Or as is usual with leaky British nuclear subs, Gibraltar..)

[keasy]

Hosting the subs here atill generates a local economy.

The locals at Faslane were livid at the recent protests by the hippies anti nuke protestors,  I listened to a spokeswoman for the locals on Beeb 4 and they (the locals) are determined to keep them there.

[Wooster]

That's because all the 'locals' are Matelots are married to Matelots or have x amount of sprogs to Matelots..

(I worked with hundreds of ex RN personnel who lived in and around Helensburgh and Garelochhead..and most of them were English too.. )

[keasy]

Which aint realy relative, unless being english is some sort of issue for a person, but I ain;t racist, I just care about the populace, regardless of origin     

[Wooster]

Their origins aren't relative but it could be argued that their opinions aren't representative of the population of Scotland, and given that the issue is a national one it has to be taken into consideration.

In saying that though, Scottish opinion has to be taken into consideration when deciding what is good for the UK...and that opinion is, broadly speaking, the same as mine.
That they can go fuck themselves unless they come up with the readies.

[keasy]

I don't believe their opinions can be argued as not representative of Scotland, as they are living in Scotland.
They are the populace, regradless.


Your just a big poop head anti English Racist, the type that holds Scoltland back, ya wank

Your not a Pomgolian.....You a kilt wearing, haggis eating Scot....thats why I lub ya...

[Wooster]

He's worse than a Pomgolian, he's a Scot that doesn't think he can survive without sucking on the English teat. 

The problem doesn't lie with the English themselves, but with all those self important Londoncentrics who think that those living outside of the M25 ring road are no better than dogs who'll gladly roll over with gratitude when they are thrown scraps from the table.
