As I was walking through Edinburgh this morning on my way to "work", looking at some of the statues, parks, etc, I had a thought. In Edinburgh as a city, and Scotland as a whole, there is a lot of unpopulated space.
If Fishface gets his wish and Scotland goes independant, and they follow up with their promises of a social care paradise, whilst the rest of UK brings in cuts, potentially we can just drive some of the work-shy up north and dump them over the wall. The rest of the UK might actually start to see some realistic cuts in spending.
Perhaps some of the money saved could be used by the UK government to run adverts around the world, promoting the virtues of benefits of the "Free North", whilst painting the UK as somewhere to come if you want to work hard and succeed.
Pump enough people in, and eventually Scotland could become somewhere as glorious as India, where it's not unusual to find roads being swept by hand, washing being done in streams, even rocks being chiselled by hand to make kerbstones for the new roads being built as towns and cities expand. With so much being done manually, that should reduce energy costs, and help Salmond to meet some of his goals in that area.
It's win-win-win, surely?
