I foresee a (very slight) snag - the EU have already stated that its either "the whole country or none" and they wont accept part of a country choosing to stay.
Oh well...back to the drawing board...:)0 -

Oh well...back to the drawing board...:)
That drawing board being indy2 which is a foregone conclusion before it's even happened.
And then we'll put super-tax on our haggis, irn-bru and whisky for non EU member states

I thought the Brexit inspired destruction of the U.K. economy was a given in your book?
Still it's nice to see you've realised the error of your ways.0 -
..... if you'd not mentioned Irn-bru, I would have PM'd you my generous offer. Much as the haggis and whisky/EU combo tempts me, that reminder has cost you dear!

By the way, did Boris ever renounce his US citizenship after his tax incident a few years back? Can't we poke Bunter Johnson across the pond, and team him up with Wiggy Trump? I think the duo would fit so well in a P G Wodehouse (as would Spivvy Garage-Farage, the honest car dealer).
Great Aunt May can give them all a damnned good spanking for playing silly pranks...
Do you think G_M can step in and sort all this mess out for us over tea and cakes?

I seem to remember before the last Scottish referendum the EU stated that if Scotland split from the rest of the UK they would not be allowed to stay in the EU, so you may still have to live with it forever if you vote for independence.:pWe will leave you to stagnate in your own ignorance. I feel for the good people of England and wales as they have to live with your decision, but thankfully we wont have to live with it forever.0 -

The claim at the time was that, if Scotland voted for independence it would not automatically be a member of the EU and would have to re-apply.
Whether that's true or not is irrelevant.
What is relevant is that now Scotland is leaving the EU anyway.
Therefore independence might be the only way for Scotland to remain in the EU, or at least the only way to get back into the EU relatively quickly. Sturgeon is going to exploit this fact as much as she can.0
