......Will Scottish Nationalism have any effect on Government Policy building UK ( or Disunited K as the case may be ?) at Rosyth or Scotstoun ..Answers after supper please !!
My thoughts Dawski are that Nicola Sturgeon will be firmly beating the drum for Scottish independence whether Boris sends work up north or not.
If there's no, or very little government contract work that goes over the border it gives her the opportunity to play the neglected, poor ignored us, victim card. Obviously this then encourages her to beat her independence drums ever louder. (You might guess I'm not a NS fan, lol).
Boris being Boris though, he'll do what he wants and might just say 'you couldn't please her whatever Scotland got, she'd still say it wasn't enough'. He could then simply say the majority of the work is going to where they see as the most suitable company and location, be this Scotland or any part of the UK. If it's not Scotland he would maybe just say, so be it, and be not too concerned with it.
Although I'm only invested in INFA (which includes H & W obviously) and none of the other shioyards, BAE, Bab, etc, I'd still though like to see government contracts spread throughout the UK yards. Like H & W, Rosyth and Scotstoun are long established yards with a skilled workforce and a great history and I wouldn't want them to close.
Surely there is enough government work to go round and build the whole of the UK to the industrial powerhouse it once was.
Soz Dawski, reading this back, I don't think I've given any thoughts on what I think might happen, only what I'd like to see happen.
Hmm ??.. Good one,Darryl.. Like your objectivity and you shared dislike of ****!!
Given the regular delays seen at the Scottish Yards and the amount of work they already have, I would think giving them more work when there are empty/struggling yards may be seen as foolhardy. IMHO
Giving Scotland more contracts would increase the divide and not "LEVELLING UP" which is what was the conservative pledge.
