    How to win voters and influence people (in scotland)

    So today Mr camoron ran over to Obama saying "I told them, a year ago, they should never have realised Mr Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, but would they listen"

    Then at home he says that aircraft carrier projects in Rosyth could be scrapped as well as faslane, taking a huge amount of jobs with it.

    Is this some sort of punishment because no one in Scotland voted Tory? They shall loose their 1 and only seat in Scotland come the next election. Way to go...

    Yes, the Scots should announce unilateral independence. Then they would have the Labour government that they patently desire, in perpetuity.

    Gordon might even make a comeback as Scottish Prime Minister. At least having to explain the Lockerbie decision is one way to get Obama to recognise his existence.

    On a serious note, are the carriers really needed, or just jobs for the boys? I've not been following it.

        Probably in retaliation for the damage your lot caused in the last government.

        Scotland means f**k all votes wise now there's a coalition. I'd give you lot independence tomorrow.

                Nope it's punishment for those Scottish Bankers that pi**ed it all away making those stoopid English pensioners vote for Nick.

                  The current crop of carriers were built in the late 1970's with an estimated life span of 30 years. They are coming to the end of their life, but could probably be extended for another 10-15 years at a push.

                  If we want Britain to continue to be one of the foremost military powers in the world, then new carriers are essential.

                  If we don't then we could probably get away with building a couple of Ocean class amphibious assault ships with a shortened runway / VSTOL ramp.

                    I say scrap those carriers and make one good spaceship - then take off and nuke sites from orbit.
