Would Scottish Independence Mean the End of UK's Nuclear Arsenal?

Posted by samzenpus on from the there-goes-the-boom dept.

Lasrick writes The referendum on Scottish independence on September 18th affects more than just residents of the United Kingdom. All of the UK's nuclear deterrent is located in Scotland, and Alex Salmond and the Scottish government have pledged to safely remove and permanently ban nuclear weapons from Scottish territory within the first term of a newly independent parliament.

    There you go again with your anti-Muslim nonsense again. Iran is not working on nuclear weapons, according to the intelligence services of Britain, Israel, France, and the US. Pakistan hasn't launched a weapon in anger, and whose only perceived enemy is India (which, at this point, are not really enemies but a countries sharing a historical feud tempered by bilateral understanding of benefit of mutual existence and no war).

    Just admit you are an ignorance xenophobe and we can all move on. Don't pretend you're some sort of well-informed person simply trying to educate or participate in a discussion - no-one's buying that nonsense from you. You are pathetic.
