– “When Scotland becomes Independent, I expect all the Royal Navy Facilities will be as quickly as possible be shifted to other locations, outside of Scotland.”
I don’t. The way the SNP leadership has been acting, and the number of neocons accumulating at the head of the party, I expect the SNP to keep the nukes and make a bid to become a leading light in either NATO or the new AUKUS. The top of the SNP has been filling up with warmongers for a few years now; their treatment of both Craig and Alex Salmond, their apparent indifference about Assange, and their new-found silence about Palestine are all consistent with this.
Of course, the membership of the party might foil this, but a lot of them seem to be too busy shouting about gender issues.
