Couldn’t we just pile up some flatties on deck and skim them into submission?

Well, on balance that suggestion seems approximately as sensible as Scotland retaining a nuclear equipped blue water navy.

Junkyard – lazarus

I do agree in general but the problem is the current pro union govt will not bee seen as negotiating for the break up pre vote.

In fact, it’s been pretty clear (and unsurprising) that the government are perfectly happy to deride the Yes campaign for not giving solid answers, while simultaneously withholding the essential information needed to give said answers, and releasing scare stories and dubious “facts” instead.

I’m trying to think of what Scotland would want with Trident and a big ass blue water navy.

A seat on the Security Council, and the chance to randomly threaten England whenever we have had a few drinks – what’s not to like?

Looking at it that way, no way are you getting the nukes back, we’re keeping them 😉

Im not convinced the UK will retain that seat in the decades to come, at least not with it’s current level of influence.

And t be honest, as mentioned before in the thread id prefer that target being a bit further away. I reckon Lulworth Cove would be a good spot.
