If it became independent would be tempted to become a dirty immigrant and get slightly lost on the way home from work (ending in Scotland)

I like the place, never seams to have many bacon dodging darkies kicking about and if i remember rightly, dont they punch the **** out of burning terrorists ?

Some cracking driving roads, and they have these munchiebox things to eat which are a sight to behold (not ate one yet though!)

Cracking place, i assume they will have strict border controls, geordies are allowed in, dirty macums can GTF.

I will have to get used to seeing more daywalker gingoids kicking about, but i have lots of garlic in storage

Acknowledged. Its the greater issue and the boll*cks spouted therein that fires me up.

Yes the extraction figures are in decline. Because its not flowing as freely as it used to, but that doesn't mean there is not a significant quantity still there. The majors can't make money below critical volumes, so they move on.

Go away and do some proper research if you want to be taken seriously.
You don't know what you are talking about.

'flowing freely' indeed?

It was a metaphor. Look it up if you're struggling with the concept

This is often the sort of things put forward by the English, buts these come as a decision made by the Scottish parliment and the Welsh assembley. They choose where the budget goes.

The same Scottish/Wellsh/N.Irish MPs can also vote on policies that solely affect the English too, yet English MPs can't do the reverse and vote on Scott/Welsh/N.Irish issues: The West Lothian question another classic Enoch Powell term that keeps haunting govenments.

Come on Cameron, live up to your manifesto and get it sorted once and for all - its only been thirty odd years!
