    Are you really trying this hard to be a dumbass?

    The independence manifesto, as per SNP, wants to get rid of Trident from Scotland. However, upon a Yes for independence their manifesto has to be voted upon again for them to achieve Government. Only then can they even start to do so.

    Ok. You stand with a bunch of guys. See whit happens to the bloke who drops his guard first, and what happens to the bloke who drops his guard last.

    I agree, it's stupid. But we have the global arms we have and it really is a deterrent because who is gonny drop their guard first?

    But we'll still be part of that group and if we get shot I doubt you'll emerge entirely unscathed.

    Nobody said closure.

    Take away the nuclear boats and infrastructure though, and what's left? Big echo caverns under the hills, that's what.

    I suppose they could do some fixin of wee Tam's ootboard motor.

    It's an example of how other independent countries have nuclear facilities which belong to a foreign power. If it's good enough for them it's guid enough for moi.

    Hows it naive to think if you get rid of the reason for targetting us then we will no longer be a target ?

    It's mostly countries like Slovakia who are happy to accept a few quid to host the Yanks weapons of mass distruction.

    Why would/should Scotland want to do this?

    Can't see the base, i'm 2 miles away. Nah, if the subs were redeployed (which they won't be) the base would close, it's always been a Sub base and any other boats there, like the Minesweepers would be redeployed to Barrow or the NE of England. No boats no base.

    Why do you put a space on both sides of your punctuation marks?

    Is it your way declaring independence from England, by misusing our grammar?
