One of the options being put forward is moving them to the French navel base at Île Longue in Brittany.
Possible expansion of NATO

In general no they are not.

Well really how can a nation talk of international cooperation when it’s own government is utterly untrustworthy?

The irony isn't lost on me I assure you..but Nato is so much more than a couple of politicians.
I have pondered that the UK seems like it might be heading for non aligned status..
An odd choice now but a logical extension of brexit thinking..
Who knows what the map will look like in 70 years of 200 years time. Alliances and nations come and go..
Too philosophical?

Talking to someone who has good knowledge on a lot of political things in most countries going back decades if not centuries and I asked him yesterday what the script was and from what he worked out with Russia and Ukraine was that Russia wanted a blank country between NATO countries and mainland Russia, if Ukraine joined NATO then missiles could be placed alongside the Russian border ready to launch against Russia 
By having Ukraine in the middle they’d have a bit of warning. Very similar to when the Soviets put missiles on Cuba that could hit US soil back in the 50-60’s

Hypersonic missiles now travel at around 3,800 mph, so not very much more time!Talking to someone who has good knowledge on a lot of political things in most countries going back decades if not centuries and I asked him yesterday what the script was and from what he worked out with Russia and Ukraine was that Russia wanted a blank country between NATO countries and mainland Russia, if Ukraine joined NATO then missiles could be placed alongside the Russian border ready to launch against Russia

And it is Putin’s ( and China’s ) development of such weapons which is causing a new arms race. Putinalso fails to mention his placing of a large number of missiles in Kaliningrad in apparent breach of previous agreements, which is causing so much angst in the Baltic states. This enclave to the uninitiated cuts the land bridge between Poland and the rest of the Baltic and Nordic states. There close neighbours fear it will in the long term be used as an excuse by Russia to try and reclaim old territory. Oddly of course it was never part of Russia having been seized from Germany at the end of WW2Hypersonic missiles now travel at around 3,800 mph, so not very much more time!

According to the Dutch they were first to map it but it seems the islanders of St Kildas were aware of it before that.

St Brendan set out from Kerry way, way, back when men were men. Discovered America a thousand years before Cristopher Columbus as much as had his first provisional licence. Rumour has it, he swung round by Rockall, and claimed it for Paddy.According to the Dutch they were first to map it but it seems the islanders of St Kildas were aware of it before that.

One of the greatest Englishmen ever, Tim Severin, who I had the pleasure to get to know, was always fascinated by the St. Brendan theory of having sailed to America. He set out to prove it was indee possible. And he succeeded.
. An amazing character.Christy Moore ten immortalised St Brendan in one of his witty ballads.
Did St. Brendan arrive in America before Christopher Columbus?
Did Irish monk St. Brendan set foot on American soil 900 years before Christopher Columbus set sail?

Just read up on St Brendan, very interesting, he well deserved his sainthood!St Brendan set out from Kerry way, way, back when men were men.

Wrong, the opposite is the case. Take a squint at how much they've had to ask HMG for, and look at the opinions of Scotland's own education and health watchdogs.
No ex Sub base in Cornwall to be re established if Scotland gets independence.
