AA - thanks for the support - love the moniker BTW
Cattivo - just assume that the article had been about an elected representative of Lincolnshire who had said:
"The MoD is a blight on our economic lives and on our everyday lives here in Lincolnshire" and I then asked the same questions about the economic value of the RAF to the county. Would most readers have assumed that a) I was anti-Lincolnians and b) that I was suggesting the RAF moved out of Lincolnshire? I doubt it.
As it happens I'm not anti-Scots, nor was I suggesting the RAF should leave Scotland. I was simply asking rhetorical questions that Mr Gibson had not considered, to point out what was, in my opinion, a sweeping and very inaccurate statement.
Keep up the tirade of epithets, but I doubt they'll stick - my last substantive rank was Corporal
