Re: Glen Rosa
This is a National disgrace! But it could be turned around. Cancel the Ferry build and take on a contract from Russia to build ships for their Shadow fleet and “special operation” in Ukraine . This would help the West as nothing would be built and even with cost over runs would cost less than the Latest defence review.it could increase Defence spending to 6% of GDP. It would also get support from the SNP as it would meet all their needs as far a maintaining their Express Gravy Train.
Just a cynical thought
