    This is the real world not the ‘Brigadoon’ country that the pro independence supporters seem to think it will be.
    Even if they are allowed to rejoin their ‘precious’ EU they will be governed by the faceless bureaucrats at Brussels.
    At least an independent Scotland will not have to worry about which currency they will have to adopt. It will be the Scottish Groat until they they can get their current deficit down to 3% of their GDP they will have to join the Euro.
    The ‘one size fits all’ Euro is hopeless for most countries in the EU as they are governed by the Euro exchange rate. Individual countries throughout the EU cannot float the Euro to suit their own country’s financial needs.
    Or it would just be the pound.

    Because in an independent Scotland, everything will be free, everyone will have a highly paid job working for the state, neighbours will leave their doors open as we are ahh jock (sorry deeranged) thamsons bairns, Nicola will help ever one live to 125 and the EU will flood us with money.

    Meanwhile in the real world the SNP are insisting everyone fits expensive smoke alarms "to keep us safe" even if you own your own home, get people arrested for calling saint Nicola a Nazi and make a roaring **** of everything they touch.

I don't read any SNP supporters getting their knickers in a twist about this case. If you look at other countries that gained independence there was a National party that got re-elected time and time again with a leader who eventually seemed to be the dictator. I am not so confident that Deeranged is right and the SNP will fall away.
    These people think they are our masters, they will never willingly go away.

    I think it is going to be interesting when Nicola has to state where she had her meetings with Alex Salmond which she could not remember about when she gave her Written Statement to the MSPs at Holyrood.
    The question is. Did Nicola Sturgeon have these meetings with Alex Salmond in her Glasgow home which she shares with her husband Peter Murrell who claims that he knows nothing about these meetings. Peter Murrell is Chief Executive of the SNP or did Nicola Sturgeon hold these meetings somewhere else such as the house Nicola Sturgeon owns in Bridge of Allan.
    I enclose details of an article which was published on 16th February 2020 https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/new...ssip-not-true/
    I suggest that you also read the third post from the top in the Comments Section at the foot of the article.
    In February 2017 Nicola Sturgeon took out an interdict preventing the U.K. media and newspapers publishing details about her ***uality.
    However there is nothing to prevent this information being published outwith the U.K. and on the internet.
    On 18th February 2020 a friend told me that Nicola Sturgeon has a girlfriend. Apparently it is also the talk of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

    An independant Scotland does not mean forever governed by the snp tho. As for currency, use the pound or the euro. I get some voters have fears over their jobs etc I get that. But some fowk just like to think that even if it costs a bit extra in tax we could go it alone. I find it hard to believe we are the only small country that requires a union.
    If it goes to a 2nd vote. We can all vote what we see best for our and our kids future,if my job was in jeapordy I would vote to remain.

    It will not be the UK pound. It might be the Scottish pound as it was before the Act of Union in 1707 when ten Scottish pounds equalled one English pound.
