Snp Plan To Ban Royal Navy From Its Waters.

Lol, how will they enforce this edict ?
I've got it, they'll use the Scottish navy.

Do you have a link for this. I've certainly never heard of this and I listen to NS broadcasts every day.

Typical knee jerk reaction I'm afraid. Perhaps the article should be read through carefully - not just the headline.

"Justice Secretary Mr Yousaf added: "We will protect our fisheries but we won't do that by threatening our NATO allies, our friends and neighbours."

He later tweeted: "62 percent of UK EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) is in Scotland.

“Police Scot and Marine Scot will protect fisheries if necessary, chief constable has primacy.

“UK Government has confirmed with me Royal Navy will not be deployed unless chief constable requests.”

If you bothered to read the article you wouldn't need to ask your questions.
//how will they enforce this edict ?//
“UK Government has confirmed with me Royal Navy will not be deployed unless chief constable requests.”

//they'll use the Scottish navy//
“Police Scot and Marine Scot will protect fisheries if necessary"

//and I listen to NS broadcasts every day.//

Hardly surprising since they've been piped into every nook and cranny of the land and listening made compulsory. First time I clapped eyes on her, I knew she'd become a cult.

Is Yousaf still complaining about the number of white men in Scotland? Lol, talk about chutzpah.

20.49 and 20.56, it's a good thing that splashes of mouth-froth don't show up on internet pages.

Scotland is part of the UK. They can't ban the Royal Navy from our own territory. Idiotic, but will be used to further undermine the relationship within the UK of Scotland and the rest of the UK. They'll try anything and I, for one, is happy to say *** off you pains. We've been subsidizing you for decades.There are a lot more people in London than Scotland. Go and be independent within the EU - a contradiction if everthere was one.

If Humbug Youspraff says it, it must be true.

The thing that many outside, and sometimes even inside Scotland forget is that most of those who 'lead' us are local councillors who've seen what playing at politics can get them at the trough.

This applies across the board, not just SNP, not a clue between them.

The coastguard can monitor and the police have launches, I suspect if the foreign fisher folk bring support vessels( naval) there will be a request for the RN to help. It will probably only happen once.
