The only MP to try to shout down Mr Hoon in parliament was the SNP member for Perth. If only the SNP are standing up for Scotland's historic regiments, then there may be trouble. Mind you, this is evidently a bit opportunist, since I can not think of a single previous instance in which the SNP stood up for tradition, continuity and good old-fashioned colour.
