So Redmike, those nukes in your backyard need to be there -- at least until the UN becomes a serious organ of world government. If you get rid of them, you are actually increasing the likelihood of war.
Even if we accept your view (which I don't), a small country like Scotland is no threat to anyone else, and wouldn't be of interest to any of these nasty dictators.
I quite like the Clunking Fist. I have no idea why - in policy terms it's just more awful PFI, he's notably pro-American and I have this enduring suspicion that he's going to have a Wilsonesque bonfire of controls when he accedes - but I quite like the idea of a grudge-bearing, fingernail-chewing madman as PM. As for the anti-Scottish sentiment, those considering voting for "Dave" Cameron on that basis should reflect on the overwhelming irony of their saviour's surname.
