    The EU sure as **** can't take on another passenger having just lost 15% of its income.

    England never had the money in the first place to give. England has borrowed money from multiple sources around the world, sold off state assets - criminal really. It all comes down to money and there's none left. Why do you think there is so much debt?

    Now Scotland does not have a printing press however it does have a functioning economy.

      At this stage attention would be better than lies.

        OFFS - Greece, like England, put themselves in the hole they created. You make it sound like it was the EU's fault. Take the money guys, there's more to go round...

        And Greece is one of the best recovery economies in the world.

              Read the context again. If Wee Nicola doesn't like 'being dictated to by Westminster', how would she feel when all the important economic decisions are made in Brussels & Frankfurt.

                Incorrect, the majority of Scotland does not like 'being dictated to by Westminster/Cummings'. That's why wee Nicola is in power.

                  I think it would be great for Scotland to leave the Union. They joined because they lost all their cash and needed England to prop them up.

                  I even think rest of the UK should help prop up it's economy before it can start suckling on the EU teat (that's proper independence). Though I do worry about Scotland's inability to defend itself and the mass immigration that would probably happen as people move from Scotland to England.

                  However, even though the Scots lack a proper credible plan for leaving they should have the opportunity to try and with our support, if they vote to leave. We should probably have this leave vote each year, until they leave? Is that too much, every two years.

                      Do you think commonwealth countries would agree with your point of view? Yes, that's why we submitted to the empire, we woz broke.
