marshman 7,756 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 If ya get independence , I give it two years before ya come crawling back over the border saying " we've no got anything to eat pal " . like ive already said, how many countries have won indy and asked to rejoin.... you talk like we have nothing going for us LOL you've got loads going for ya , Alex salmond has described the Scottish economy as a Celtic tiger . Of course that would be a tiger with type two diabetes laying in a shop door way drunk with a can of tennants in its paw lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe1888 672 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I'm not saying there is no possibility of Scotland standing alone, my point is that prick Salmond and his labour in disguise pals have dreamed this up on the back of a fag packet.......and IMHO it takes a little more than that to run a country. Zimbabwe was the garden of Africa and look at it now after 40 odd years in the hands of clowns. Yes I'm sure you could do it, but not with these dicks at the helm are you telling me the uk is well run........ fourth most unequal country in the developed world.. how many of the countries that won indy has the resources and skilled people scotland has..

WILF 44,286 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Joe, what I'm saying is.......let's stop kidding on that the vote is for a well thought out logical way to become a strong independant country and instead tell the truth..... It's a mel Gibson Hollywood film ego trip and nothing more.........the only ones taking it seriously in the world is you !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pedro 39 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 If it is a yes vote do you's think the labour party will be finished in england??, given the large amount of labour seats in westminster coming from scotland.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,637 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think England should go independant and drop the rest of Britain first We're not that selfish. Quite frankly if the whole union broke I'd loose all patriotism. England means f**k all to me without Great Britain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Removing the Scottish vote/MPs, they would not have been able to form a majority government. If Scotland votes yes, Labour will lose 41MPs and Tories will lose one. The one good thing for me in Scotland voting yes is that Labour will probably never form a government in rUK again in my lifetime. The days of huge majorities are long gone now there are four main parties. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,387 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 if it doesnt happen, we still use the pound debt free... without it being underwritten by the bank of England it will be monopoly money nobody will touch with a proverbial barge pole the same boe founded by a scot, the same boe that strength is part because of scotland, the same same boe depends of palence of payments from scotland.. did you watch that vid? what will happen to the pound with no currency union?? Not much a slight bump but you boys and girls are really gonna feel it and then some mark my words! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UKIP might even end up coming out of this in a stronger position than it currently is now if Scotland votes to and does leave the Union. For me and I would say most English people we haven't got much to lose ether way really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I think that's a bit selfish, we still have our welsh, northern irish and brothers and sister around the nations and they matter to me as much as the scots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
