??????? Scottish independence: New poll shows clear majority for yes vote

[scooterscot]

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.

My coffee came up.

Are you serious English? A proper plan for leaving? Hypocrisy^ to infinity. You've been trying to leave the EU for 4 years and even still after leaving you're still following their rules.

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.

Scotland could sell passports to those who would quite like an EU one without the inconvenience of being governed by the EU. Evidence would suggest that the take-up would be at least 48%, and at £100 a pop, that's a nice little earner.

[woohoo]

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

You need to expand on your points Scoots. You can't just go round drunkenly, shouting freedom if you want to be taken seriously.

Your coffee came up where?

I'm seriously English but sometimes I can be a humourless English with a touch of indulgence English.

Well we are leaving, after the voters gave the Elitist Scottish pandering MP's a kick up the arse at the last election.

Just because the Brits made empire work unlike Scotland and bailed you out.

We were blamed for your failure because you were on Spanish territory and therefore when you needed supplies we had to refuse to trade with your encroaching settlement or risk war with Spain. This is of course forgotten and it is apparently all our fault.

Go easy on Scooty, he's confused about what's happening now, you digging up stuff from centuries ago is going to make his wee head explode...

Scotland's public finances - Full Fact

“Scotland at the moment is a net beneficiary of the fiscal union between England and Scotland. That hasn’t always been the case, but it is at the moment. However, Scotland would be a net contributor to the EU”

tell me again what the oil price is?

Scotland in the 21st Century was in a state of crisis. Decades of alcoholism had combined with 100 years of socialism to drive people from their homesteads and choke the cities with homeless vagrants, starving to death in the streets. The nation's trade had been crippled by England's continual trade wars against the EU, and its home-grown industries were withering on the vine. Something had to be done. Some way had to be found to revive Scotland's economic fortunes before it lost all the free money sent up by its much richer neighbour south of the border.

I'm sure the polls will show this until a referendum is announced and then everyone will chicken out (again).
