Not true, the yards in Scotland will have full order books because Scotland needs a navy of it's own. Scotland will also be able to develop its own order book. At he present time Scotland's coastline is completely unprotected hence the two visits from the Russian navy into the Moray Firth recently. The Royal Navy dispatched a ship from the South of England to investigate. It arrived a little late.
I already debunked this, didn't I? Despite the claims of certain parties, the Russians posted their plans on social media prior to leaving, meaning that everyone had plenty of notice. What was that earlier about spin and propaganda? Salmond portrays himself as a socialist, but I agree that he isn't one. His dip into the till should tell anyone that. I notice that you didn't attempt to defend his actions there, by the way. So much for his integrity. He's a Scottish Snooty and no different to those that he's attacking.
"He's a Scottish Snooty and no different to those that he's attacking." "Meet the old boss. Same as the old boss" ??
Salmond portrays himself as a socialist , where in the Daily Mail or the Torygraph? I think he would describe himself as a Social Democrat in the European mold. Do you think the fact that it is posted on social media makes it fine for Russian ships to be able to sail into British waters unopposed? The stories re mis uses of funds are political lies in the dirty tricks campaign. I appreciate it is difficult living in England to have a proper perspective because the whole of the media is anti. The catalogue of lies is being exposed in Scotland and that is why the vote to YES is growing all the time.This is a standard practice of our right wing media. From Michael Foot, Tony Benn, Scargill, and many more all have been the subject of smears and lies to blacken their name. It is a tactic that has proved successful many times over the centuries. The difference this time is that we have the internet where these lies can be exposed for what they are.
I don't read either of them, so I wouldn't know how they portray him. Social Democrat? So democratic socialism? Is that not a branch of socialism, then? Didn't happen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-26031605 The escort arrived several days before the Russians did. As I said, propaganda and spin. He admitted to misusing funds and repaid them, once the story had already been revealed.
dreamland with the sheer cost involved prohibiting your own armed forces and the cost to pay for and build required fleet And where do you consider future orders in contract terms coming from ? Spain will see to it that you do not gain European membership and you simply will not have the ability to gain orders outside of th EU
So another journalist gets beheaded. I think beheading is an official punishment for anybody who insults Islam in the Koran and they want that here in the UK. Women won't inherit under Sharia Law and the Law Society is approaching Islam for its laws. Backward steps in my view, very backward steps. When did we stop beheading? I won't tell you what I really think of this ****, after all I'm English, how dare I.
This all depends on how you define socialism. Salmond is an economist who has supported big business in Scotland as well as social welfare reforms both the right and the left complain about him which suggests he is fairly middle of the road. Read further down in the article and the spin is on the arrival of the Royal Navy ship, plus other incidents. There is little doubt that patrol vessels are needed in Scottish waters to reduce the drug trade and protect fishing rights. Sending a boat from Portsmouth taking a week to get there is hardly a proper defence. I can't find this story, perhaps you could give me a link.
The savings on Trident alone will cover the costs. Spain's fishermen rely on Scottish waters which would be denied to them if Scotland is not in the EU. Spain will not oppose Scotland. Indeed it is very unlikely that Scotland will be outside the EU at any time. It's all here: http://newsnetscotland.com/
I didn't say that I agreed with the way that he portrays himself. I don't. He's just another centre-right piggy with his nose in the trough. There's nothing in that article that suggests that the arrival was spun by the British government. Please point it out if I've missed it, though. The claims that HMS Defender arrived late and only turned up after the Russians did clearly do look like spin and propaganda. It would be nice if you'd recognise that. The other stories clearly show the presence of another destroyer in Scottish waters, HMS York. I have no idea whether more are or were needed though, I admit. Which story? There have been a few. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/scotland_politics/8303963.stm http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/435017/Alex-Salmond-embroiled-in-secrecy-row-over-250-tartan-trews http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/449254/Alex-Salmond-s-silence-on-54-000-spending-spree-at-Ryder-Cup http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/alex-salmond-claimed-116k-expenses-972571 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-20538417 Just Google "Alex Salmond expenses" and have a browse around. There's an absolute ton of stories about it.
I largely disagree with TMT's opinions on people using England as a doormat, but the Mayor of Calais seems to be taking the piss. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-29041621
Suggest you look deeper into Spain's problem issues with the Basque separatists who wish to break away from Spain Speaking with such certainty does not mean you speak with educated knowledge on all the issues involved in the yes/no vote Scotland will lose easy money UK shipping orders and will.Be required to compete for orders at Sharp profit levels they are not used to and against ship builders around the world who do not recognise unions As for being members of the EU it only takes one no vote and forget it
Yes I know it's the Mail http://archive.today/XpyvF given time I can no doubt find more but the spin is from the Mail not the YES campaign if spin there is. As regards Salmond he is the first minister and apart from the trousers they all look like legit expenses. They are typical of the attempt to blacken his image in my view and they are pretty small beer for the leader of a country going about his business. Compare it to Jim Murphy for example or Mundell both Scottish MP's claiming rather more in expenses for personal effects. http://newsnetscotland.com/index.ph...r-mp-jim-murphy-caught-up-in-new-expenses-row
The Spanish press Eu reports business markets daily and please be real a convention of union leaders from North Korea China and Japan could be held in a telephone booth
Spanish newspapers OK. So you think the Spanish would sabotage their own fishermen do you? Given time the EU may well enable many 'small countries' like the Basques, Catalonia, The Flemish, The Bretons, and so and on. That is why the world is watching Scotland. Don't understand your reference to unions.
There is this. How much weight it carries? It would seem that both Belgium and Spain could view Scottish independence as setting a dangerous precedent, in that they both have unsettled regions who may cause further unrest if any precedent were set for breakaway regions from established members. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...o-an-independent-Scotlands-EU-membership.html
I don't see what there is to disagree with PNP. Our NHS is abused by others coming in and using it free of charge as are the benefit seekers. One Afghan man was asked what he liked about living in England"Housing and housing benefit" was his response. Asylum seekers get accommodated in £2 million Kensington flats and there are stacks of other instances and abuses. We are ruled by those with devolution and no doubt if those Calais illegals arrive here they'll be given all sorts of benefits at the taxpayer's expense. We are seen as the world's patsies and yes we are the world's doormat. People come and wipe their feet on us. "Gimme gimme gimme."
