ORDER OF THE THISTLE 1ST CLASS TO DIM BOY HAMMOND

Don't you just love it when one of them, in an effort to pull the rug from under the feet of the Scottish nationalists, shows their contempt for Scotland and its people.


The most recent example is that fool Hammond (who bears a startling resemblance to Chris Langham the actor who played the part of the incompetent moron of a minister in "In the Thick of it"), who has said that we are fooling ourselves to think we could have a Scottish Defence Force. Nobody, he says, would want to join it.

Ah right. Not only are we too wee, too poor and too thick to run anything on our own, it would appear that we are so lacking in pride that no one in Scotland would want to join the Scottish Armed Forces.


Brilliant Philip. Absolutely brilliant. Keep it up.


In the meantime, didn't I read that the British Army is being reduced to a rump now, because you can't afford to run it. That may be something to do with the fact that the MoD, managed by you, spends money on failed contracts faster than Imelda Marcos used to buy shoes! In future you will be obliged to rely on foreigners and contractors (aren't they called mercenaries?), and with all your back office worked provided by private companies (which is fine until Santander buys them over and you go to war with Spain over Gibraltar). 


Well done. All that puts you in an excellent position to lecture others.


Nob!
