| ...it's a bit weird Brown (a Scotsman himself) has coupled the MoD job with the Scottish job? Is that meant to be a subliminal message? Who to? |

COuld be reading too much into it but..
The SNP at Holyrood are sooner or later going to kick up a shitstorm for Westminister about Trident.
Might make the debate easier for Brown if he has a Scotsman arguing the case for Trident to remain in Scotland. |

| Good point. I thought it was either to defend England against Scotland or vice-versa. |

I was wondering about that too. Very odd combination indeed. |

One possible explanation is this cerca 1745 version of the last verse of God Save The Queen:
"Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King."
But somehow, I think that might have been a "one-off". |
