Letters / Scare tactics?
Only Scotland is trusted by Westminster to securely maintain the most expensive and lethal top-secret weaponry in the Ministry of Defence’s arsenal, the Trident nuclear submarines on Faslane.
Yet our MP in Westminster, the newly elevated Scottish Secretary, tells Scots this week we won’t get defence contracts to build a few ships when we vote Yes because we will no longer be part of the UK.
It can only be pure ignorance on his part to not know that Trident missiles are made in California, Korea builds high tech fuel tankers for the Royal Navy and France won a £600 million contract to service and maintain top secret UK submarines.
If not, then is it his intention to deceive and scare Scots into voting No?
People who do the latter will be neutralised. Without a shot being fired.
Just a wee cross next to Yes will send his political relevance into the same dustbin as the nuclear weapons the vast majority of the Scottish electorate wish to see them thrown in.
