Scottish Independence?

01-11-12, 01:05 AM

Remember hearing rumours long ago joking about Sean Connery becoming king of Scotland but had not even realized this was seriously in the wings! So what happens if Scotland leaves the UK?

Is this all smoke and mirrors?

They'll have to change the flags, for one thing.

On the other hand, the only reason they joined in the first place was because they got to choose the king.

All smoke and mirrors, no it's true.
But i can see Thatcher sending the Falkland fleet to Scotland, from her grave ..

What happens, if they leave ?
Maybe then they will be better off economically, and join the EU ..

About time this came to a head and was decided. But why should it just be the Scots who have the vote, why not the whole country (as is)?

Hmm ok, i just wonder did they let go India with the votes of the whole Commonwealth ?

More Scottish minister presidents in Germany in an effort to conquer the continent by infiltration?

(David McAllister is minister president of the federal state of Lower Saxony).

Hehe,
but McAllister is more interested in chasing women and getting bribed, than helping Scotland or an invasion of Europe ... but Allister as scottish prime minister - we can still hope

Scottish independance? Has a royal Stuart been located then?

Oh please let it be this one...

and NOT this one...

IF Scotland becomes independent it will be interesting to see what form of government they will take.

Herr-Berbunch · 01-11-12, 09:35 AM

One that sets a budget for a new building of, err, let's say £10m.

But then has costs of £414m.

Scotland takes out more than it puts into the pot, so I'm interested to see how long free tuition and prescriptions last.

*Edit - I know that all building costs associated with any government spiral out of control, but over x40 is really funny.

I dunno about anyone else but i'd much rather have her than him. She is much nicer to look at.

Surely the pressing questions on the referendum must be...
Who gets whats left of the North Sea oil/gas
Who gets to pay for Dounreay
