    Its obviously good news for the work force. But its extremely conditional as this clip shows. Basically if Scotland exercises its democratic will they will take this work away from those guys. The fact is those ships could be built on the clyde whether Scotland was Independent or Not. Watch the clip Bodie and tell me what you think Fallon is saying.

    What Fallon is saying is that if Scotland stays in the UKthere is work for 20 years or so even if Scotland left the contracts are signed, quite simple.

    Very true Noahrab, The SNP and their freedom fighter followers would not be happy if the uk government gave Scotland's workers hundreds of thousands of jobs. They would still find fault with it as all they care about is independence at any cost to Scotland and its people

    Stewarty, all ministers are evasive with their replies however Fallon came to Glasgow to tell the shipbuilders that the 8 Frigates and also 2 offshore patrol boats would be built on the Clyde. In addition as we know there are 2 aircraft carriers being
    fitted out in Rosyth So as the OP has said its good news for Scotland.

    Claw I'm in a 100% agreement with you its is great news for those workers on the Clyde in all the world there's nobody can do a better job than them. The real question is if Scotland decides to be Independent will those contract's be honoured. It seems BAE are now saying there is nothing in the contract that say the work would be removed

    “BAE confirmed to STV News that there is nothing in the contract that would prevent work continuing on the Clyde in the event of a Yes vote in another referendum.”

    Why wouldn't Fallon answer that simple question ? Could it be he didn't want to admit that the work is now there WHATEVER happens to Scotland constitutional situation ?

    Stop licking the board bullies @rse Bodie he doesn't like you and it makes you look like a groveling little pipsqueak. Learn to do what everybody else does ignore the loud mouthed browbeater.

    Now I will state for the record I'm very happy there will now be work for those on the Clyde. They have a fantastic record of Shipbuilding and in my view they will do the best job. Now the question is was the blackmail they used in 2014 removed by Fallon's refusal to answer a straightforward question ? BAE have issued a statement ..

    “BAE confirmed to STV News that there is nothing in the contract that would prevent work continuing on the Clyde in the event of a Yes vote in another referendum.”
    How I analyze this is... A win win for an Independent Scotland. Is your view if we vote for Independence they will take this order away ?

    I'm not lickimg anyone's erse Stewarty and if Noaharab likes me or dislikes me only he knows and it doesn't change my life one bit. And I don't see him coming across as a bully, it's an Internet forum for goodness sake.
    My view is we will not vote for independence so the contract will be safe and these men will have the security of work for a long time
