Mel, a separate Scotland would no longer be part of the "United" Kingdom. We all did this one over and over last time right?
Quite MSOCS, but until such a separation happens it is still very much part of the United Kingdom (indeed, the 'United Kingdom' doesn't exist without it), and so any suggestions to not base assets or personnel north of the border would not only be illegal, I'd suggest, but also highly counter productive for those wishing to preserve the Union. Ironic that.
