Beyond belief

I had to look twice at the comments from Keith Brown of the SNP (Scotsman 18 June), concerning defence spending in the UK. He reckons that not enough is spent in Scotland; this would be fair enough but for the fact that the SNP would spend even less – their anti nuclear belief must mean the closure of one of the biggest bases in western Europe (Faslane). His comments beggar belief! WILLIAM BALLANTINE
