It would, especially for Scotland. It would effectively be a carbon copy of Ireland but with the addition of gas and oil resources. Ireland survives and is thriving with its similar geography, population density and other factors purely due to the huge amount of EU funding it aquires. Scotland could and would survive.

... a decreasing majority each time and the nationslists just won a majority government in Scotland. That alone shows the trend.

and on reflection many of those new voters for the SNP did NOT support independence but rather a change from the mianstream. the EU DOES NOT, I repeat DOES NOT support the breaking up of its member states into regions. in fact it staunchly opposes such moves. So don't think you can (in your words) go leeching off the EU once you have finished leeching from England. Your arguments are so basic and flawed and rely so much on your own personal opinion and assumptions based on hear say of about 10 Welsh Nationalists, there isn't much point in saying anything.

Come on people....what was the original topic ? :hmm:

hold me back Jim, RAWWRRR!!

I have not read this whole thread, just could not be that bothered.

Once again our PC Government has given into terrorist, so no surprise there. Harry should now say "Shove it" and leave the army for what these liberals have done to him. He wanted to go to Iraq and do his bit for his country even if it meant he would be killed, he knew the risks and he knew he was a very high profile target but this did not put him off for what he believed in, the powers to be are a shambles and I am sick off these people.

Hang on, was it 'terrorists" or these 'liberals"....So consideration for his fellow soldiers, of putting them at a higher, unecessary risk is completely off the cards? He wasn't going to be there all-by-himself

Sometimes it shows greater courage and character not to do like others expect you to do.
