During one Scottish Affairs Select Committee session in late 2013, Ian Davidson asked a witness how quickly a proposed 'Scottish Air Force' could intercept ''... fast jets from the Soviet Union ?''. During the same session he also asked if the future of a Scottish Artillery reserve regiment was guaranteed - only to be told it had been disbanded a few months earlier ! Both statements were redacted when the revised transcript was released - although the unrevised version was still available.elrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215895554490007594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-74417394281934446482015-03-06T12:26:13.125+00:002015-03-06T12:26:13.125+00:00I've accepted from when I wrote the post that ...I've accepted from when I wrote the post that it could be false.<br /><br />The thing is that Murphy and his team are so incredibly hapless and make such horrendous errors, and tell such massive lies, that it is difficult now to tell whether something is fake or real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-43628539695898591232015-03-06T12:22:18.761+00:002015-03-06T12:22:18.761+00:00There is someone on Twitter posting these as a jok...There is someone on Twitter posting these as a joke..

Long time no see. Hope you're well...Hey Illy... Long time no see. Hope you're well!<br /><br />I'm sure that mutual destruction is, indeed, a deterrent. If only Russia had WMD, then Putin would by now be running the world.<br /><br />But I guess if I have a pea shooter and you only have a stick I win. If we both have pea shooters, we know that you hit me and I will hit you, and we'll both go home with sore bits.<br /><br />What I can't understand is why poor, broke, hungry, starving, cold, britain has to have WMDs. And why having them, we don't actually have any control over them. They are paid for by us. They are controlled by Washington.<br /><br />Why is it important that we have them, but Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and other big countries don't? Are they not at risk?<br /><br />I listened to Israel talking about how Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, while Israel (which would always be protected by the USA in any case) has nuclear weapons and could... and maybe some day will...wipe out Teheran. <br /><br />I suspect that we treat N Korea with kid gloves becasue China wouldn't like it if we didn't. But we could also ask why someone like Qaddafi was considered a cruel dictator, and king Salman is not. Something to do with breeding I suspect. Prince Charles was hardly going to get on with Qaddafi!<br /><br />Why is Britain at the top table? I know, of course, the historical answer to that. Britain went around the world commandeering countries, lands, people, assets until it had the biggest empire ever. It was a big noise in world affairs because of that. never mind that all the moeny they made out of it never touched the people who created the wealth with their toil, either in these islands or where it originated.<br /><br />Britain won the second world war with a little help from maybe 30 other countries, most notably America and the Soviet Union, but so many others.<br /><br />It pushed and pushed after the war, when America wanted it to divest itself of the empire, to be included in the important countries. It used a vast amount of American aid to develop an atom bomb, while poor people were still living in bombed out homes.<br /><br />It got a seat on the security council representing its empire, which it does not do and never did do. <br /><br />As I say, it is broke now. The infrastructure is crumbling. Even the very parliament is falling into the Thames, and yet, they still sit on the security council, allowing the wisdom of batshit mad, money grubbing spivs like the foreign secretary, Philip BVI Hammond to have a say in world affairs... or rather to nod their heads at everything the USA SoS says.<br /><br />Our deterrent is not a deterrent. It is a status symbol. Without it the UK would be forced off the security council permanent membership and people like Cameron would no longer receive instructions in phone calls from the White House.<br /><br />In the meantime they have a pile of expensive and dangerous stuff 20 miles from Glasgow Green. and 600+ miles from Liz in London.<br /><br />And that's before we even start on the moral argument... <br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-34460459231826287562015-03-05T12:02:43.054+00:002015-03-05T12:02:43.054+00:00I'm sure there must have been occasions.

Extremely targeted at the person who would actually start trouble, and no collateral damage. Because threatening him personally is probably the only way to make him think like he'd actually be on the front lines. Do the same for Russia and China.
