Scottish independence

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

With the SNP (Scottish National Party) gaining a shock majority in the Local Scottish elections and taking complete control of Holyrood (Scottish parliament), it is almost certain that a referendum on independence for Scotland will come in the next 4 or 5 years. So would you be in favour of the United Kingdom breaking up and Scotland getting independence?

If they are willing to take on their whole National debt, lose all of the funding that they get from English funds (they would potentially have to have a 60% tax rise on to cover the amount of public spending they get from English taxpayers) and don't complain if they don't get all of the income from the North sea oil. Then they can go bugger off, would finally put an end to the West Lothian question.

Yes you wee buggers,start paying for your prescriptions too. I can't see how they'd cope,they'd do an Ireland and be in the shit.

There wouldn't be many managers or football pundits/experts left if they were all banned.

I think in actual footballing playing terms they wouldn't be a loss, Fletcher is about the only player I can think of.

If anything to me the countrys doomed to me anyways but a 60% rise will kill the country off for me in future. its already bloody expensive here like.

Educate yourself, Ireland was and still is the best small country in the world according to people who know what there talking about, Was one of the best places in the World to start a business, Yes we're in the shit now, But so were England.

It would be nice but English would hate it even more that I support a team in England. Nothing but abuse.

Please go and educate yourself,you're in the shit and we're helping bail you out. You're in the same boat as Greece and Portugal.

Independence?

Eventually yes, but atm I don't think we're ready. Hence Alex Salmond waiting until the second half of his term to consider it.
