Scotland

[Altobelli]

Should they stay or should they go ?

I am surprised nobody has posted owt about this, perhaps no one give's a toss.

Ed Milliband made me laugh today calling for "people across the UK to fly the Saltire to show support for keeping Scotland in the UK XD

If Scotland get independence I hope that Lancashire put in for it next.

We're already a Palatine and the current Dr Who assistant (that lovely Blackpool lass) can be our Queen.

We could make Liverpool the busiest port in Europe again and build our ships in Barrow in Furness (again).

We'd obviously give Barnoldswick back to Yorkshire because the birds fly backwards there.

I don't think it is because "nobody gives a toss" Mike, most likely it is because most people (including me) just don't understand this issue enough and the pro's and con's of Scotland having independence?

The Scots by and large have for many hundreds of years hated the English, so if they do vote YES and things go belly up for them in the future they certainly wont get any sympathy from me >:(

[Altobelli]

I'm just like any other bod in this in that I don't understand what it will all mean if they go it alone.

Will they lose the Pound ?

Will Hadrian's Wall be used as a border ?

What will be the word for the regions left ?

What happens to all the regiments in the military ?

Those are just a few off the top of my head, I'm sure there are many more important things to consider.

We must need to keep Scotland as the 3 wise men (Monkeys) XD like pleading to a lost lover are up in Scotland begging for them to stay.

If they do vote for independence ,Looking forward to invading them and taking their tiny little country over and re naming it Little England..

if they vote yes we will have to pay them off and bail them out

So they will become another noose around our necks and a liability to our financial recovery

[alfinyalcabo]

If they get their independence ,in the long run England will be better off and the Scoths worse off..

I'd like to know what is going to happen with all the Jocks who are down here and claiming off the government.

If they've paid in then fair enough but Nelson's pubs used to be full of Jocks on the sick or claiming in some way.

[claw84]

Could be a silver lining, no more subsidies, but sad to see them go.

Cameron is bending over backwards trying to keep them in the UK, offering them incentive's as if they have not got enough, plenty of back lash in this if they stay and do get them.

FFS they don't even have to pay for Prescriptions, they will be screaming like hell when the UK's NHS will be taken away XD

The outcome is Thursday but I think this will cause more storms whatever the outcome.

The BBC will have to make an alternative Scottish version of Doctor Who.

if the vote is so tight tomorrow as it is today, should the final vote stand?

No imo as it will cause a divide and unrest with N. Ireland type scenario?

[alfinyalcabo]

People look at it on a map or think of the economics. However, down at the level of individual people Scotland is by far the most civilised, pleasant, genial part of the United Kingdom.

If they leave the United Kingdom there will be no formal border check-point with barriers.

I imagine that to catch any villain fleeing one legal juristiction and entering another one there will be an English police vehicle parked adjacent to the English side of the border and similarly a Scottish one adjacent to the Scottish side of the border. There may also be a building built on each side of the border such that it would theoretically be possible to easily increase the formalities. This seems to be what happens at the borders of most Schengen / European Union countries. For Scotland to either remain in or join the EU is debatable but it would almost certainly be immediately welcomed into the Schengen area.

James Naughtie will be busy on BBC Radio 4 for the next few day, quite rightly so. He would never make an embarrasing blunder.

Here he is on the 'Today' programme announcing what will be happening after the 8 o'clock news. It is to be an interview with Jeremy Hunt, the then Culture Secretary.

It seems as though someone subsequently kicked him in the genetalia.

The English hating fat head Salmond has taken his ball home.

A referendum on Scottish independence will always get its best 'Yes' vote during a period when the Conservatives are in power at Westminster.

If anything this vote over-states the number of Scottish people who want independence.

Alex Salmond knows that the Labour Party will win the General Election next May. At the time of the following General Election he would be within 7 months of his 65th birthday.

For him the current situation is the absolute maximum height of the matter.
