Dear All
Facts are the currency of politics, they
help get you elected and more importantly can help you stay in power when you
make the right decision based on facts!
The SNP has claimed the Ministry of Defence
could be set to go back on key defence commitments to Scotland.
Do they have any evidence to support this
statement?
Nope!
The SNP policy of grudge, grievance and
malcontent doesn’t work at Westminster Politics, their fear and scaremongering
have no place at the 'big hoose'.
There are six SNP MPs.
And the reason why is fairly obvious.
The recent scaremongering on army numbers
shows that a higher calibre of MP is needed or the existing ones need to up their
game by going ‘down the range’ and learning to use the high caliber facts for
sniping purposes.
Rear sight, foresight, target and squeeze,
keeping the breath steady.
Instead, it seems the SNP think Westminster
is the ‘Wild West’ as they go off half cocked and use their political bullets
in a scattering effect.
My dear old weapon instructor Sgt Skabinski
would never have approved of this type of ‘spraying’.
The latest piece of fear and scaremongering
to attempt to spread discontent, is over army numbers in Scotland.
UK government said in 2011 that up to 7,000
personnel would return to Scotland from Germany, with barracks and a training
area being built. If the pledge is given, it is hard to see how this wouldn’t
be honoured given the way that the MOD works.
The MoD said the SNP speculation is
"unfounded", maybe someone should ask, do the SNP have any proof to
basis their claims on?
I would think not.
The army move was partially to make up for
the closure of the RAF bases at Leuchars in Fife and Kinloss in Moray, which
were both to become Army bases instead.
So, there is a commitment because both
these bases are needed operational, which shows how much attention is being
paid to military matters by the SNP.
The SNP defence spokesman, Angus Robertson
MP, said of any change of heart:
"This would be totally unacceptable
and underlines why better defence decisions should be made in Scotland with
independence”.
What a load of disconnected pish!
An MoD source said Mr Hammond was likely to
announce that Scotland was going to receive "new investment in
accommodation and facilities" as part of the Army's new basing plan.
Military deployment is base on military
needs, there is also a political element involved too to ensure areas of the UK
benefit from military business.
The MoD source added:
"It has also consistently been
speculated that the numbers of soldiers in Scotland is going to decrease. However,
the defence secretary is also due to set out that this speculation is
unfounded. Scotland will actually get a modest increase in its Army headcount,
of nearly 20%, with some units returning from Germany to the improved Leuchars
base”.
An increase!
It seems that if you scream ‘wolf’ and no
wolf appears, you just look like a fool, Angus Robertson famously said that
Scotland would have a navy like Norway, when asked what that would be, he said
he had no idea but had look at their website which he rated very good!
Someone call an army medic, Angus Roberston
has shot himself in the foot; and someone get him some ‘range time’ before he
wipes out the rest of the SNP MP Group at Westminster.
Rear sight, foresight, target and squeeze,
keeping the breath steady, I wonder if Sgt Skabinski is still available for
tuition!
