Scottish Nationalists insist that if Scots gain their independence, nuclear missiles must leave their Scottish bases. Hammond calls that plan "irresponsible".

I ask the question again; how would YOU like nuclear missiles in YOUR backyard, Hammond ?

And how long does he think he would remain MP for Weybridge if the blue-rinse Tory voters there learned that their leafy shire would be a target for instant retaliatory nuclear attack from an enemy ?

Isn't his mindset just typical of a NIMBY outlook.....shunt anything nasty out of sight......especially to Scotland. To a diehard Tory snob like him, Scotland is beyond the pale.
