Scottish First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney says the North Atlantic gap above Scotland is "not being adequately policed", blaming the "defence policy" of the United Kingdom. But Conservative leader for Scotland Russell Findlay says the Iranian regime "supports Scottish independence", because it would make both Scotland and the UK "fundamentally weaker".

00:00The North Atlantic gap above Scotland is not being adequately policed because the defence policy of the United Kingdom is
00:07not focused in the right priority.
00:10We're investing in nuclear weapons and not in conventional protection.
00:15There's a very good reason that the Iranian regime, the disgusting Iranian regime, supports Scottish independence.
00:21And that's because they know that Scotland and the United Kingdom would be fundamentally weaker if John Swinney ever got
00:28his way with independence.
00:28You'd have taken us into war, wouldn't you? That's the truth.
00:30Absolutely not. What we have said is that it's entirely right that UK's military and UK bases should be used
00:36to defend our allies.
00:36What about all that stuff Kevin Batonot came out with about taking out the archer, not the arrows?
00:40Who's the archer in that scenario?
00:42It's critical that Iran is deprived of acquiring nuclear capability. I don't think anyone here thinks that's a bad idea.
