There are always the Navy bases in Plymouth and Portsmouth who would jump at the chance. Imagine the effect of the job gains there and the jobs lost to Scotland.

Nothing new there Bill, Kinloss has been a shadow of it's former self since it became an army camp a few years back. A fraction of the personnel and little civilian employment, nobody in Westminster gives a xxxx.

A lot more on the cards, irrespective of independence.

That is not correct, you listed the failed states in post 249 which was in response to my post regarding Adam Price.

Your post had nothing to say about Adam Price and Wales and certainly nothing to do with the green back. Posted to promote your own agenda.

They are the best location if you live in the south of England, but not if you live in Scotland. The best option, in my opinion, would be to scrap the white elephant immediately. There are others that are suggesting we rent Faslane to England indefinitely, but I would prefer that we make a deadline of 2 years for England to find an alternative location. 


A BRITISH ASSET is the answer

Just a temporary screen …, but it looks not good for for the Conservatives bully's here …., better keep the blood pressure tablets or anxiety at hand  :cheesy:

I wonder if J.C. should call another no confidence vote , if the Liberals and a part of the Conservatives would vote with , as this the only way to get quick removal of  T.M.?:ermm:

 

I know this is only local , but a trend for the feeling of the voters ...and it could be a repair action for the conservatives for next election..., or not ?

I never served in Scotland though I did a couple of weeks at Lossiemouth on detachment back in 1975. 

 

Quite a few RAF camps ended up as Army or RM barracks though if I was honest, even in the UK if the RAF were to put a single aircraft at all those stations that were closed, they would have to borrow the lot from the RAF museum and even then there would not be enough.

If TM had any sense of honesty and decency she would wait the weekend out and resign on Tuesday or Wednesday. Retire to the back benches, keep very quiet, and not stand at the next GE, and perhaps the outgoing Tory government might get her elevated to the HoL. Something I would be very unhappy about.

she's more likely to look at the result and see that people have voted for a pro remain party and have a vote in the HoC to revoke A50 which the MPs will do with a big majority.

That would be great, but I guess she is already been happily following the ERG guidelines for the past years, she is not able to do that. 

 

Sometimes stupid slogans are way more powerful than well thought logic. 

 

Britain has unfortunately proven to be a country of big feelings of the past, not a country of logic of the future. Our western Italy.

I don't get the impression like that , as she still declares to follow the wish of the referendum an still deliver Brexit  (read > vote her A 50,as that is by her thinking delivering Brexit ,)

it looks like she does not like loosing face .

(My impressions after see and  hear her  comments on the election losses...)

Brits you have nothing seen yet from this woman P.M. :w00t: The only way to get her out number 10.. =

"The majority of Scots don't want this, and if they need a voice to stand up to Nicola Sturgeon, I will be that voice.

"I don't agree with re-running a referendum in which the main signatories - including Nicola Sturgeon - said it would last for a generation. She's done everything she can to rip that agreement up since then."

That break clearly did Ruth and the Scottish branch of the nasty party well - yesterday the SNP won the Dundee North by-election with 46.8% of the vote and taking control of the council.

Or she might just see it as a massive anti Tory protest vote.

Yes. The response was to comments about countries that use the green back. The US dollar is not Westminsters prime currency.

But if you insist countries which to use your expression emerged successfully from under the burden of Westminster rule did so as a result of the organization of Westminster rule not the currency. India a good example.

I thought the response I gave to RR cleared up the confusion. Are you his spokesman now?

 

As for your silly comment regarding promoting agendas. Isn't that we all do when we give an opinion on this forum or are you quiescent in this activity.

UKIP has fallen in popularity - Batten has made a mistake with his association with Tommy R.

 

The Lib Dems have benefitted from CON and LAB voters (leave and remain) being disgusted with both parties over Brexit. These are local government elections and people regard them as inconsequential relative to the importance of Brexit.

Clearly the Brexit parties have been hit hard, Tories and sitting on the fence Labour just had a bloody kicking in the nuts, UKIP annihilated...

 

The Lib Dems & The Greens both very clear remain parties done extremely well.
