Salmond and Sturgeon Want the English Fish for More Fat Subsidies

The point is that it should not even be a question. Scotland is part of the UK, the UK is a country as a whole. If a vote is carried and Scotland doesn't want to follow that vote it is like a small child telling daddy to drive his car over the cliff and daddy doing it. One small region of the UK should not be able to dictate what the whole of the UK does, as far as she is concerned she wants the whole of the UK to operate specifically to prop up Scotland.

No the UK is a collection of countries ... Scotland is a country , England is a country Ireland is a country and even Wales once a principality has now been given country status ( I can no longer rib my family on that one )

It could also be that the UK votes stay in and the Scots want to leave.

You were not threatened with being chucked out of the EU, had you left the UK you would simultaneuosly have left the EU and would have had to wait to get back in when you got solvent again that is.

I do think it is unlikely in the event of an In-Out ref on the EU the UK will vote to leave. I think it's even more unlikely that Scotland would vote to leave.

Your second paragraph is pure speculation. It would have been an unprecedented situation. We have a lot of EU migrants here who are welcomed and wanted. What would have happened to them? It really wouldn't have been quite so simple as you are trying to make it.

Just found out that new polls have been released, now I dont place much on polls tbh, the only thing that matters is the result ( dont I know it) ... but polls can be a good indicator of how things have went, it seems that the SNP have increased their lead to 49% up 3% from last week, so maybe the people of Scotland liked what they saw on the debates ( goodness knows why though)

Yes it seems they did like what they saw after all ( the debate I missed !)..

I think Murphy might suffer from the same problem Salmond did. Women don't like him very much, especially with all the shouty stuff ?

Drivel.

The EU were very clear on this point.

Scotland was out until we applied and were accepted for membership by all 27 nations. Which simply wouldn't have happened easily if at all.

What overnight ? It's you that's talking drivel. Unpicking 30 odd years of EU membership was never going to be easy, nor quick.. even if they bothered for a country that obviously didn't want to leave.

Britain has a highly diverse economy and so is far less reliant on oil than Scotland. That's one of many very good reasons for Scotland to stay in the Union. I'm surprised you haven't picked that up yet.

This oil is a bonus for an economy of over a trillion pounds of GDP per year not a vital component of Government revenues.

here shake see if England start extracting the oil from under the ground, do you think suddenly an oil fund might become important ? how will Wm handle the volatility the obviously us Scots cant, and will they allow it to be drilled ? Will the people ... now theres an interesting thought
