I think it might be a good idea for them to postpone any decisions on dockyard closures until the referendum on Scottish independence is held and decided in 2014. Should separation take place, it would be highly embarrassing for the MoD and the government to be in a position whereby they had prematurely closed Pompey dockyard whilst keeping Scotstoun and Govan yards open. Do the numbnuts in the corridors of power ever logically think anything through FFS?
