Crùbag Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I see that more of Jimmy Reid's old comrades have not let Johan Lamont's assurances of meltdown sway them. Incredible that having lost tens of thousands of jobs in the last few decades, Labour still say that independence will threaten the fraction that survive. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/open-letter-signed-seven-famous-3889002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Slightly unrelated but does anyone else notice how the only comment with a terrible rating on that first page is from a No voter? But of course 62% of the population are voting No apparently so it must be robots providing the upvotes for the other comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already made a commitment to this forum, in possible violation of electoral law, to prove to you that I will have voted Yes. Provided there is a legal way to prove it, I will do so.

Mr Bairn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 He can write Ad Lib on his hand and take a picture of the ballot sheet. It's illegal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be legal to take a photo but not to disclose it to others until after the poll has closed and been counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Leighton Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Out of interest, why did the Scottish Government award a recent contract for a ferry to a foreign yard (Loch Seaforth in Germany) and the biggest order prior to that went in 2011 to Poland for Finlaggan - how will independence address this issue of competition? Port Glasgow got a couple of wee diddy boats (Hallaig and Lochinvar) but no major construction project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is EU law that contracts have to be put out to tender EU wide, unless there is a national security issue, as is the case with defence procurement.

So on that, how does independence boost shipyard jobs? How many defence-related ships will be built outwith the UK and how many commercial ships can be guaranteed in a competitive market? Glasgow lost its shipyards for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_blue Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I am confused , what is going on with ad lib ? is he voting yes ? and what is the unionists for independence thing all about guy is clearly trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing he still tries to say he's voting YES tbh Oh give it a fucking rest. He's right, it was a "bottom of the barrel" comment. He's boring as f**k in this part of the forum but who really cares if he's voting "Yes" or "No"? You can vote "Yes" without being the equivalent of political happy clappers. So on that, how does independence boost shipyard jobs? How many defence-related ships will be built outwith the UK and how many commercial ships can be guaranteed in a competitive market? Glasgow lost its shipyards for a reason. I know very little about the issue, but I would assume (wrongly, I'm sure) that an iScotland within the EU has a greater chance of getting shipbuilding contracts than a Scotland within the UK (within the EU)?

the jambo-rocker Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 How many shipbuilding companies are there in both the Clyde and Forth? And how many of them are ran or contracted to BAE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many defence-related ships will be built outwith the UK and how many commercial ships can be guaranteed in a competitive market? Because, as it stands, the UK Gov has most British Shipyards tied down to BAE and MOD contracts. The Scottish Gov could open up Scottish shipyards to more commercial work.
