Peter T Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 If they want to go, let them. Get the Israelis in to rebuild Hadrian's wall, and then stop ALL the money that we give them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahl Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Scotland will never leave the United Kingdom of Great Britain. It is Alec Salmon being a superb politician to run rings round the useless English civil service dogsbodies in order to provide excellent facilities in Scotland. Unfortunately I believe the Welsh are different. all they have are a set of political nobodies who think they can run Wales as a separate nation with its own language but have little else to offer as a reason for having independence. ..

Ricky Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Salmond wants Scotland, as an independent nation, to adopt the disaster currency (the Euro), and still be part of the EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Salmond wants in with the EU because as a seperate poor country, Scotland would be in line for massive handouts like they give to the Eastern Block countries. When in with us; the English, they don't qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 ......they just get their handouts direct from us instead!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Not too sure about that one Baz; EU Regional aid subsidies have moved east, and will continue to be used to bale out the new ascession States has they join with their begging bowls - so I can't see the Jocks getting owt there - anyway, they'll not vote for "indepenence" and Alex knows it.

Wireboy Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I have worked/lived in Scotland for a few years now and I can say that all this independence talk is nothing but political dribble. I have yet to meet a Scotsman who wants independence. I am not saying that there aren't any but the pro independence are quite clearly in the minority. It is purely used as a political tool for the SNP to "stand up to the bullies" of the south. If there were a referendum the SNP would lose. They know it, we know it and that is why there hasn't been one. I myself am proud to say I am British and do not like the idea of UK breaking up. But this topic will not go away and I fear that England is now thinking Scotland want it so they are now saying "give it to em." I hope my fears are not realised.
