There is no reason to deny the perfect democratic right of any group to advance its cause through peaceful political means
It seems that any party that wants to exercise that democratic right to speak to the people gets shouted down and abused. If the people don't want to listen they can walk away; if they do want to listen they should have the right to hear without some screaming nut job bellowing obscentities and abuse. What is happening now is not democracy.
Going back to the thread, without a cohesive defence policy, talk of the force structure for iScotland is a bit premature.
