UK ministers and pro-UK party leaders have repeatedly warned that the Royal Navy will no longer award major warship contracts to Scottish yards if there is a yes vote because it never builds warships outside the UK. ..................'

well okay. why not. this is what its about. its not as though English shipyards are doing that well.

lets see where the apples fall. but I reckon the first thing the Scottish government should be on to is chucking out the English landlords who obtained vast tracts of land in a very questionable style in the clearances.

still its up to them. I reckon they could make it work. big place, virtually uninhabited, plenty of land undeveloped. adjacent to a country where you can't buy a litre of petrol without being overtaxed. also theres a lot of yank expatriats, who would maybe like to refloat their mother country - like they did with Israel.
