If the Scots do go their own way you know their defence will go to zero - a few patrol boats, a couple of small MPA aircraft, a large A330 for the Main Man and some hollowed out regiments in skirts to form an honour guard for visiting heads-of-state at Edinburgh

They'll be lucky if they are as big as the Irish armed forces

The SNP are promising everything to everyone and God knows where the cash will come from. Salmond isn't willing to tell people that if they want a Norwegian standard of living they have to pay Norwegian levels of tax.........
