Independent Scotland....

[VW BUSH]

Uk loses a limb if the Scottish f off.
Not good.

Crikey!

You all sound like Scotland will move to the Moon if it gains independence.

It'll still be there folks. Nothing will change.

Just heard some women on the TV(Deputy First Minister for Scotland Nicola Sturgeon) telling me that if Scottish people want to safe guard the NHS they need to vote yes. WTF!! Its our National health service not yours, you are Scottish, pay for and get your own.  Same for your Army, Navy, Air Force, University, schools, hospitals and social security and boy that will be a big bill. 

I really don't mind Scots voting yes, just as long as once they vote they forfeit being in the common travel area,( which should be automatic) No currency union and check points and new border posts are set up, so they have to seek visa's to travel into the UK for not being in either the common travel area or the EU.  Not in the EU?  Ok no problem, duty has to be paid on everything that enters Scotland.  Set up an Embassy and reduce relations to any country outside the EU and the common travel area status. Simple

I would like them to stay, but happy for them to go as long as when they do they don't get all the benefits of being part of the UK.

Then if it all goes wrong invade again and take back all they voted for with more reparations 

 

Its called the big round negotiating table Jackie.

Unfortunatley, they did not sit round it prior to the vote.

I dont really give a hoot if they stay or go.

I just think they are completely deluded in their expectations of what an independant Scotland will be.

Andy Murray is out of the Open - I don't think any minds..

The biggest issue I have with the splintering of the United Kingdom is that it creates governments with smaller jurasdiction in a time when corporations are increasing in size and influence.

This means it becomes easier for these corporations to cup the balls of the governments and squeeze to get what they want, to the detriment of the citizens of the nations.

'better together' indeed.

Something from a few years back by Mad Martyn

'One united kingdom the fancied wouldn't do
To please some grumbling Irishmen, they split it into two
Two little kingdoms, but then the Scots, you see
Claimed their anciant throne and rights, then they were three
Three little kingdoms but then one more
For Welshman claimed a parliament and then they were four
Four little kingdoms wouldn't do at all !
One of them was far too big; the others were too small'

And this is the price we'll pay
Take a lesson from your history
'Divide and conquer is the game they play'
And this is the price we'll pay

'All across Great Britain ancient hates revived
Cornwall wants to rule herself, and then they were five
Five little kingdoms, but London is a fix
Raised the 'southern english' flag, and then they were six
Six little kingdoms, the 'Home rule' heaven
Caused a rising in the West, and then they were seven
Seven little kingdoms Northmen wouldn't wait
Hailed Northumbria and then they were eight'

And this is the price we'll pay
Take a lesson from your history
'A house divided simply cannot stand'
And this is the price we'll pay

'And the towns that one may visit via the Eastern county line
Formed East Anglia and then they were nine
Nine little kingdoms never could agree
How to work together and so they went free
Ten little kingdoms too weak to stand alone
A foreign nation conquered them, then they were gone'

And this is the price we'll pay
Take a lesson from your history
'Devolution is the devil's ploy'
And this is the price we'll pay

Very good.

Although it'll be sodding Yorkshire next I should imagine.

Totally bombarded with yes/no propaganda up here. Yes and no signs in fields, gardens, windows, cars. Edjits knocking on your door trying to opinionate you. Sick to death of it to be fair. The whole thing's a joke. Nobody has anything set in stone to back themselves up.

Cornwall already has minority status under EU Law, they'll be first.

They'd get more revenue from pasties that the Scots from oil in the long run.
