Next Falklands war

They are giving them a loan of a bunch of decrepit 1960s bombers which will be good enough to beat what's left of the UK's defence forces.

Other than that I notice Fran and Anna are enlightening every on CUK again about SNP membership and how we are living in Brigadoon .

Ah ok, so what is that black stuff coming onshore at Grangemouth?

A dwindling and ever more expensive to extract fossil fuel, currently worth about a third of its value only a couple of years ago.
I expect the fiscal realities of the autumn days of the "Boom" are going way over your head, as it seems to have done with most of the Planet Shortbread Cretins that still have their "YES" banners hanging from their tenement windows.



Scotland gave a resounding "NO". Get over it and move on.

Nobody said anything specific about which foreign rule.

When you act like one. Right now you're just being xenophobic (it's OK, lots of people confuse the two).

Well thought out argument. Pretty arrogant to assume everyone else agrees with you, as well.

And again you read something into what I said that chimes with your world view of everyone that disagrees with you. I have said nothing about having a fear of anything, let alone anything foreign. I only expressed disgust at those that willingly abrogate other's rights to suit their own ideals or for what can be seen as selfish reasons.

And as you have plainly demonstrated many times on this forum your inability to either understand or accept other's arguments or points of view, I consider it a waste of time arguing with you and no, I don't assume everyone agrees with me, but I reserve the right to insult anyone that doesn't.

Now off you fck.

That is a rather narrow view though. You have left out the very real possibility of sizeable quantitites of Oil/Gas being located in the surrounding waters and all the associated revenue that might generate for the Treasury. On top of that you could have endless wind turbines strewn across the place. That ought to give you a stiffy if nothing else.

Besides, now that we have decent defensive capabilities on the islands, most of the outlay has already been spent. It would be an entirely different proposition for the Argies to capture the islands now than it was back in the early eighties when the defensive capabilities amounted to little more than a chapter of the Peggy Spencer formation Dance Team.

Don't worry, if we run out of money we'll ask our neighbours for a loan

Nope.

And as you have plainly demonstrated many times on this forum your inability to either understand or accept other's arguments or points of view

Nope. In fact you couldn't be more wrong.

but I reserve the right to insult anyone that doesn't.

That's 'cos you're a dick

That won't work, they'll be ******' skint by the end of the next parliament. We'll be bleeding them dry for the length of the next parliament. They'll need to go cap in hand to the IMF to keep our subsidies going.

There is no "if" about it. But never mind, when it does happen you will be able to boast the best-educated dole queues in the developed world.

Did you know that the UK gives foreign aid to Argentina?
