Apparently, the Salmondistas are at last cobbling together an independence manifesto...

Bye, bye England? SNP plans closer Scandinavian ties after independence - UK Politics - UK - The Independent

Salmond is expected to demand 9% of all UK defence assets - presumably that doesn't include the SSBN fleet that he finds so repugnant. But 9% of bugger all is....?

So they think they can get their hands on a squadron's worth of P-3s for £29m a pop - that would be quite a bargain?

And they think the Royal Regiment of Scotland could be extracted from the British Army and form a new Scottish Army - hmmm, is someone confusing "army" with "infantry"?
