Cameron says to Scotland - "Fuck off ASAP".

A pox on all these posturing pygmy nationalists.

Do you intend to bugger them and give them yours?

Haven't you got some sheep intestine to eat, or somethin?

No thanks. And I only feed oats to my horse..

Ands that's why Englanders are so limp-wristed.

except of course that recognizing PRC as the legitimate heir state to the Chinese Empire which had given the lease... well, Major was a major douche to the whole emmpire when he decided that.

Not to mention that a lease renewal should have been negotiated, or China's legitimacy to take back the place denied.

Not remotely realistic. I lived there for 19 years and on any day China could have said the word and five million people could have walked over the border.

Wouldn't have needed to even do that - as I understand it all the power and water for Hong King came from China anyway.

Some of the first images of Lord Huxley's charge have been received on the wire. Here he is making short work of the lowland Scots...

Are there any nuke launching subs based in Scottish harbours? If somebody sane got their hands on nukes, maybe something could be done about the darn saxons.

ALL of the UK's nukes are in Scottish harbours and the nats have said they don't want any of them.

It will be a real headache for the rest of the UK to find something to do with them, especially if Scotland says they can't remain.

One option may be to site them in Northern Ireland which has good access and deep ports.

Oh, you said sane, I thought you said insane.

[Svartalf]

Heh? You don't have any major military harbours in the South? I'd have sworn Plymouth at least, or places around the Thames estuary would have done it.

[Santa_Claus]

The Scots would settle on a long lease - with the cash to match, whilst the ENglish built elsewhere. Keeps the jobs, raises some cash and meets the SNP promises.

Or could simply base them in the USA, subs not operational without the US anyway.

The only reason to build a new base in NI would be if you knew it was going to be nuked..............

I believe that would be too close to France as Gravity's Rainbow would put Paris beyond range?

[Svartalf]

Given that we have nuke launching subs of our own, and that the South used to be your major area for military harbours back when we used to tussle, I don't see what proximmity to France has to do with anything... even though I do get why you wouldn't want to keep a Fleet based in channel harbours where the huge traffic could actually hamper the manoeuvering of Her Majesty's Navy.

In my day that Salmond oaf would have been hung, drawn, quartered, shot, flayed, smacked and given a thorough dressing down.
