Labour seems to be for nuclear, for wmds and for war, if the London based party is anything to go by.<br /><br />There may be changes here after 2014, who can tell, but if Labour is the first post independence government and retains its centre-right leanings taken from London, Scotland will remain in NATO and will have WMDs.<br /><br />I too think that the minimum price was cack-handed, but when adults can't go out of the house at the weekend for fear of drunks, and when young teenagers are presenting with symptoms of liver damage, and you come across kids of around 12, drunk in the park, something has to be done.<br /><br />Yes, there are many other things that we could do, but many of them would involve spending money we don't have, and are not allowed to raise. For example vastly increased policing of pubs and off-licences, and implementation of existing legislation, as proposed by the Tories might be a good start, but we can't afford the manpower.<br /><br />Once again, when we can control all our legislation and taxation policies, perhaps we will find a better way of controlling what is undoubtedly a problem. Maybe making people a little less miserable would be a start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-9425493404656828632012-08-12T12:51:47.070+01:002012-08-12T12:51:47.070+01:00The logical conclusion for all those who are using...The logical conclusion for all those who are using the Team GB issue for the referendum debate should maybe reflect on whether they want it to go to its natural conclusion - the scrapping of the home nations football and rugby teams.<br /><br />The Scottish Tory party is not that stupid (I think) to advocate something like that------<br /><br />(Saw a letter in The Times on Friday from a London reader demanding this should be brought around)The Aberdonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036242944647266932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-76188369037744431662012-08-12T09:32:31.661+01:002012-08-12T09:32:31.661+01:00It is now the 12th and we are all- of course - ba...It is now the 12th and we are all- of course - bathing in the after glow of a successful , over priced London Olympics.<br />I have smiled and cheered like many , I do enjoy seeing healthy youth display its talent and muscle no matter from whence they hail.<br />I do not ,however subscribe to the drivel in the press that this is a show of union unity and how we should all gratefully tug forelocks at being " allowed " to participate.<br />I had expected our Conan to have moved his blog on to a lampooning of both Davidson and the BBBBC,but then I am greedy for his inspired humour.<br />'mon Conan!Disgusted Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656716908787035739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-74605559992222822172012-08-10T19:46:27.533+01:002012-08-10T19:46:27.533+01:00"Ah, this must be some use of the word "..."Ah, this must be some use of the word "argument" with which I was not previously familiar."<br /><br />Clearly.Vronskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797785918817375436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-91298410135046508842012-08-10T15:51:55.647+01:002012-08-10T15:51:55.647+01:00Sean,

The mafia...Let me put this argument another way. <br /><br />The mafia uses nuclear weapons, so our scruples prevent us from joining them. However if they use nukes, but say that we can be 'made men' and we never actually have to have nukes ourselves, then membership of the mafia becomes morally acceptable. Weird stuff, but it's directly analagous to the case that Angus Robertson wishes to make, except that NATO is vastly more destructive than the mafia. You would have to switch off a terribly large number of moral circuits to agree with Angus on this, or know sweet fuck all about what's going on in the world.<br /><br />Just as it is clear that membership of the mafia is not acceptable, I would have hoped that membership of NATO was a yet more outrageous proposal, and it has bugger all to do with nukes. NATO, like the mafia, is a criminal organisation. It kills, rapes, robs and desertifies in pursuit of purely fiscal objectives -NATO is just the mafia writ large. They don't care about the people they kill, and they don't even care about the people they send to kill them.<br /><br />http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32025.htm<br /><br />I can't believe that this debate is possible. It is just so depressing.Vronskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797785918817375436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-48178961185565509552012-08-09T14:34:56.504+01:002012-08-09T14:34:56.504+01:00I got a number from elsewhere suggesting that the ...I got a number from elsewhere suggesting that the total number of deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was roughly equal to the number of Chinese civilian deaths being inflicted by the Japanese Army every three weeks.<br /><br />Why do you hate Chinese people so much?sm753https://www.blogger.com/profile/04474549226665639347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-32346619333019494482012-08-09T14:32:50.273+01:002012-08-09T14:32:50.273+01:00I am delighted by your courage at telling me to &q...I am delighted by your courage at telling me to "feck off" from your keyboard...sm753https://www.blogger.com/profile/04474549226665639347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-74283757281629895962012-08-09T14:32:20.997+01:002012-08-09T14:32:20.997+01:00Only AFTER Soviet invasion of Manchukuo AND two bu...Only AFTER Soviet invasion of Manchukuo AND two buckets of instant sunshine...sm753https://www.blogger.com/profile/04474549226665639347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-26630841818273097192012-08-08T21:28:44.933+01:002012-08-08T21:28:44.933+01:00Once more for Smee.

Three propositions for you:<br /><br />1) use of the A-bomb on Japan saved more lives (including Japanese ones) than it cost<br /><br />2) if you were alive in the 1980s, then you are only alive today because of the existence of nuclear weapons<br /><br />3) in the future, increasing numbers of countries are inevitably going to acquire nuclear weapons, irrespective of what happens here.
