Who cares what this ill-informed, bloody-handed, imperialist war-monger Dannatt say?! He is just yet another Tory living in the 1870s, sad thing is – many Labour people are now resorting to such views also. The English political scene is entirely politically compromised.

Nations much smaller than Scotland are fully capable of defending themselves and when Scotland is able to define its own policy’s there will be no wars of aggression

There is no threat to Scotland. any suggestion that there is a threat is just the politics of fear. its the only way most politicians can keep themselves in a job these days. they do very little to help a country, their trade is in spreading fear and then promising to protect us from things we don’t understand

The game is up,for these politicians in Scotland,

I support alex salmond and his positive attitude towards the future of this nation and the focus on success not on failure, We are a strong and resourceful people, who always did make the best of what we had, and given the chance to decide our own future i believe we will go from strength to strength

The huge amount of waste and overspend. The MoD has a £38bn black hole in its budget. Three illegal or immoral military conflicts in the past decade costing tens of billions and hundreds of UK lives as well as untold thousands of innocent civilians deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Gigantic aircraft carriers with no aircraft and renewal of a nuclear deterrence force etc.

Dannatt & Co should look to themselves first. They have done very well out of the ‘defence of the realm’. The truth is that the UK is falling apart from within. It’s well beyond its sell-by-date.

The Scots should decide what level of defence Scotland requires. The British Army has disproportionately recruited in Scotland and Wales, having exploited the relative poverty of both nations to that end. That can’t go on. It’s an army with far more generals than regiments, admirals than warships. Top heavy with upper class toffs.

Salmond has to be prepared for the dirty tricks of the British Establishment, and those like the Labour Party which has a vested interest in maintaining the union – without Scotland Labour will never form a government at Westminster.

The policies of the three unionist/British nationalist parties have failed Wales and Scotland by having put the sectional interests of the City of London and the affluent classes of the south east of England before anything else. Now is payback time.

I cannot see why a EX 0fficer of the army who hopes to become what an MP bother to attack Scotland unless of course he’s Labour.

England are doing deals with the French so perhaps Scotland will do a deal with Germany or Wales Ireland NI to protect our selves from Cameron Blair Brown and the rest of the war mongers.
