Yet that's exactly what Tim Wheeler – the singer, guitarist and creative force behind Northern trio Ash – does while discussing his four years of living in the Big Apple.

More fantasy politics from our beloved Gnats, this time talking about defence . Angus Robertson, the MP for RAF Kinloss and RAF Lossiemouth, has been outlining how he thinks Scotland could go it alone on defence when freed of the clutches of the Evil English.

The UK’s Nimrod reconnaissance aircraft fleet, based at RAF Kinloss in Moray, should have left service in 2003. Critics claim that lives could be put at risk if the order [...]

Typically, because of archaic laws and the complete disinterest that this government has in it's armed services and the consequences of being at war, it looks like there is a possibility of Kinloss RAF base becoming part of England.
