    Lol Golach, once again I am not asking you to believe me but consider the options ... Think about the stuff that is important to YOU and make your decisions based on that. I dont care which way you vote but I do care that you dont base that decision on misinformation and untruths based on nothing but fresh air and farts. The lack of immigration control, border agency presence or special branch at the location you mentioned is nothing to do with the Scottish Government. It is to do with decisions made in Westminster.

For each villain, there will be one, if not more, victims. I know you don't care about Britons, but trust me, I, and many more like me do! Just be grateful, that at the moment, you, or yours haven't been a victim of one of the seventeen, who are wanted in their own country for murder, rape and other serious crimes. Maybe then, you would place human beings above your vile ideology! Open your mind and let a bit of fresh air in Flynn!
    Gosh I'll try to be careful, after all there were never any rapists, murderers or serious criminals in Britain before the terrible seventeen turned up.

    And here we have it folks. Brother Flynn not even trying to pretend that he cares about 11,000 foreign villains, who have committed crimes against our people. Nor, in these austere times, how much it costs taxpayers to support them in a 'soft' prison. All the thousands of victims of these criminals are just collateral damage and really quite acceptable because we have always had our own underclass of murderers, rapists and other serious offenders, anyway, so why worry about a few more thousand who are imported. Is there anyone out there, who really cannot see why Britain has gone into such decline? Flynn and his ilk are as transparent as they are destructive, imo! What say you?

    I said no such thing. Do not presume to put words in my mouth. I resent that. Especially when it comes from a mealy-mouthed, right-wing, bigot.

    Squidge, I never said that Eck and his cronies had anything to do with the gaping hole at Cairnryan, but if they get in, will they do anything about it? I don't think so, why do i think this? because Scotland has no money to support border guards of any kind.
    Special Branch, Immigrations & Customs all come under the umbrella of the UKBA now, and they are toiling at the present time.

    Ay? You respond to my post about 11,017 foreign prisoners in our country, without making a single comment about that, but do mention our home-bred criminals, and you think that's the best way of showing folks how much you 'care' about this present, appalling situation? I thought you were brighter than that, but obviously not! Forget the childish name-calling Flynn, it does you no justice and believe me, it cuts no ice with me!

    You are right Golach the UKBA are toiling, as are DWP, HMRC, the police because of Westminsters obsession with private companies doing the work that the Public Agencies should be doing. They waste money on poor quality services by private companies who fail to do the type of quality, accurate work which you were involved in when working for Customs and Excise. If Scotland decides on Independence then we will have to manage our ports and coastline. We will have to have our own agencies to do that, the decisions about how we manage that will be made in Scotland by a parliament elected by the majority of The Scottish electorate.

    Oh true, but what about the sushi? That would be worth the move.

    Because it isn't worth commenting on. It's just Daily Mail scaremongering drivel.

    "DESCRIPTION: The Citadel Community will house between 3,500 and 7,000 patriotic American families who agree that being prepared for the emergencies of life and being proficient with the American icon of Liberty — the Rifle — are prudent measures. There will be no HOA. There will be no recycling police and no local ordinance enforcers from City Hall.

    Marxists, Socialists, Liberals and Establishment Republicans will likely find that life in our community is incompatible with their existing ideology and preferred lifestyles."


    I think I know who it would be suitable for!

    Who did you have in mind? I can think of a few on this forum who would be totally at home there!

    I talk to a number of scientists in Wales - their assembly is much more clued up about science than the Eckerment. It's a smaller country than Scotland, but its science policy is more ambitious than ours.

    I also talk to a number of scientists in Ireland. Many of them have more or less given up...
