Independent Scotland
SiPiE has it on his wish list, what do others think?

Slip the mooring lines, let it float away and see how long it takes for anyone to notice :D
|
They are welcome to it. Aberdeen, St. Fergus and Sullom Voe have to remain in England though ;)

I am annoyed that things like tuition fees, hospital car parking etc. are free in Scotland and Wales, yet they are not here. Also, they are stopping us from having an extra hour of light in the evening, so I would say, "see ya!" ;)

I guess there's an assumption that Shetland and Orkney will go along with Scotland.
If this is not the case then Scots teritorial waters to the East would be hemmed in to where the English border and the Orkney border would meet about 120 miles east of Aberdeen. Stick that one in your pipe and smoke it Salmond ;) |
Do the Scots not like being part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain anymore then?
They already have their own parliament so why break up the UK? Can any Scots on here shed some light (yer whiskey swilling gits:D) |
The feelings mutual I assure you !
And we're keeping Aberdeen, thats OUR oil money ! |

Go independent, and see how much money England actually puts in to Scotland ;)
I'd still visit, I like the place, but it wouldn't be aloss to the UK. Geezer |
Would be interesting to see the development made when you are only get tax from 5million people instead of 60.

And for the record, I've still not forgiven you for what you done to William Wallace all those years ago:hjtwofing |
Let them go. I give them three years before they are going cap-in-hand to Westminster, the EC and the IMF;)

Devolved spending in Scotland alone costs us almost £35 billion. (compared to Wales with £15 billion over 2009/2010). Taking into account other departments, total spending up there is much much higher (spending per capita is apparently 22% higher per person than in England).
Cut 'em loose I say, and leave Scoobychick in charge :D:p |

This has been done to death before. The point is, if the territorial waters are where they are supposed to be, Scotland will be be fine. Otherwise not. So an independent Scotland should work without a prodominantly English government changing the boundaries to suit istelf. It's been tried before (check your political history) What people forget, or perhaps are not told, is that Scotland only needs to be funded by (the South of) England, (the North is in deficit as well), because the oil revenues have, since the fist well was drilled, flowed straight to London without passing go. SO you see, its not really an England funds Scotland, and Wales, its more that London funds the rest of England, Wales and Scotland. Those of you sitting North of Watford could do well to adopt a more humble approach :) What is really telling for me, however, is that Westminster absolutely, catagorically and venhemently does not want to lose Scotland to independence. If we were such a drain on the rest of the UK, why would reluctance exist, I wonder? |
Let Wales and Scotland go, Wales wouldn't last 3 years on their own, they'd be burning cottages as a fuel source and once the oil and gas goes Scotland will become a 3rd world country within 10 years and the streets of London will be full of Scots sleeping rough in doorways smelling of Special Brew and Wee, wait a minute....

If we were such a drain on the rest of the UK, why would reluctance exist, I wonder? Scotland is just another region of GB, like Cheshire or Sussex. Scottish Nationalists make out that Scottish independence is the worlds number 1 world-historical issue, but they just want power for themselves on the back of anachronistic national chauvinism and a national inferiority complex. Ironically they are willing to sell national sovereignty to the EU for almost nothing. Makes about as much sense as resurrecting the kingdom of Wessex. |
let em stay on the condition that the sign saying welcombe to scotland on the motorway gets SPONSORED BY ENGLAND ON IT . bloody passengers they are the reason along with the welsh and others that uni fees are going up , if everyone paid a fair amount the bill would be less . and then most working peoples kids would get a better education , same goes for precriptions and council tax , i bothered to work out my areas council bill 178million devided by total number of people over 18 works out at 124quid a year each for everyone working or not THATS FAIR not 138quid a month because so many aint paying a bean . its like school diners they proudly boast they spend 58pence on a school diner , if thats true why are they 2.25quid ile tell you why cos working people are paying for freeloaders :mad: rant over

But as I'm not, and the post was based upon fact and the question was put out of curiosity only, you now look like a bit of a **** :D |
I class myself as English, not British.I have Welsh relatives and many Scottish friend,s but if Scotland and Wales want their independence ,let them have it. England would be independent then.:thumb:
