We can build some protection vessels......and secure a few hundred jobs on the Clyde at the same time....Win-Win!

I agree that we should build more ships, but haven't all the Clydeside shipyards been closed?

Oh, I wasn't aware.

We visited Glasgow last year and, on our way to a wedding anniversary celebration, the taxi driver explained about all the many shipyards on Clydebank having now closed down.

I assumed that was it. I can't find the naval shipyard on Google Earth, unless it's the base at Faslane.

I'm no expert as I don't stay anywhere near Glasgow but I thought there was still a shipyard at Scotstoun ( The former Yarrow yard) and at Govan.

I'm sure they are building some destroyers and River Class vessels for the Navy over the next few years.

At the moment we have 4.

3 are patrolling UK waters and for some reason the other one is down in the Falklands.

Re: Crunch Time.

Hi

The reality is now looming.

We have drawn our Red Lines.

Our choice, our decision.

We cannot pick and mix,we are leaving

No Single Market, no Customs Union, no ECJ.

We need to get on with things.

I completely fail see why we are not doing so and then blaming the EU.

We need our own Medicines,Chemicals and Aerospace Agencies, and top of the list is Nuclear.

Just do it, get us free.

Getting some fishing rights back is unlikely to restore all those Trawler Companies who sailed out of Hull, Grimsby, Fleetwood, etc.

They were going for that lovely cod which was most prevalent way up near Norway.

What we get back might well be a Red Herring!
