SCOTTISH NATIONAL STANDARD BEARER:
Peter DowFor many years, the Scots have proudly and bravely hosted the UK/British strategic nuclear deterrent weapons system at HM Naval Base on the Clyde. (Republican Scots would rightly object to "HM" having any role in Scotland's defence.)
The base is a target in the event of an all-out nuclear war. That is not a fact that we Scots relish but neither do we shrink from the positioning of the base in Scotland - we will stand by our guns for good reason. The Scots stand unequivocally and resolutely for freedom, justice and democracy for ALL of the people in the world.
If any evil state has the intention to enslave the world, the way Hitler and the Nazis intended, (or in any other way) then the Scots will meet that state head on. Let no enemy of freedom threaten the Scots - if it comes to the ultimate fight then the Scots would sanction the use of these weapons from submarines based on our soil.
Absurdly, those Scots, British and Americans who recently liberated Iraq were threatened that we would be taken to the gates of hell if we dared to help to free Iraq. I have news for Saddam's supporters: the Scots have been guarding one of the gates of hell for many years. Who else would you trust to do that job?
I welcome the intervention of US defence experts who rightly criticised the SNP's damaging defence policy (Click to read the Scotsman's report). My fellow Scots, heed the wise counsel of our American friends.
I would add that the defence policies of the Scottish Socialist and the Scottish Green parties are just as damaging and not to be trusted by the Scots.
