Sturgeon wants another referendum

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but another angle to consider;

Scotland's national security is reliant on the British Military and Security Services (MI5/6). They have No Army/Navy/Air Force of their own as they come under the Crown.
The SNP seem hell bent on pushing for full on political independence, and I'm almost certain they are holding back on the economic independence for now, as they know they are on to a good thing. However, with political independence comes the inevitable break from the Crown, and the ties to the British Military. The best Scotland can hope for is keeping the Scottish Army Regiments, but as for the Air Force bases and RN Ports/Bases, I can see the Military drawing their assets back to England/Wales/NI and return the MOD land to Scotland. Apart from this, their is a large amount of Crown land in Scotland, so who gets that in the divorce?

The SNP seem to want their cake and eat it, but it seems that they think it is acceptable to the rest of us that 8.3% of the UK population living in Scotland will get the say over everything. Hardly fair.
 
In an ideal world the good folk of Scotland who wish to stay in the uk could move south and the left wing socialist cult from england could move north. Build a wall so the fuckers have to stay there and in the future contemplate parcel drops to this 3rd world utopia.

A spiffing wheeze. Let's do it.
 
Don't think the UK should be held hostage to Sturgeon

If Scotland wants to leave, let them, they'll become an irrelevant nation like Norway.
 
Im not angry about Scotland seeking independence, but like many down here I am sick of hearing about how it's all our fault yet you get so much more than the vast majority of us. Yet still you moan and the snp continually blame us for all your ills. Ayrshire blue said a couple of days ago that you lot got shafted like us in the English regions, I asked him how he thought he was getting shafted these days. No answer ! it's clearly all in your heads!! Admitedly I do get annoyed by magic pole and his ilk as he clearly avoids questions he doesn't want to answer.
That aside no issue with the Scots at all. Just the SNP and their brown shirt bully boys like magicpole.

Schnell Schnell Ver ar your papers!!!

Have you come across the word hyperbole recently? Every time I read your angst and rage filled posts, full of accusations that's the word that pops right up.

Brown shirt Bully boy?

Well, that's a first. :)

You're disproportional rage amuses me. Are you fuming right now? I hope so.

Nobody is blaming You. We are were we are . We are saying that we think we can do it better and that as the Tories will be in forever, anything is better than that.

You don't think we can do it and actually hope we fail.

Fine, just calm the fuck down a bit and try and avoud calling people nazis.

Oh by the way? Did you vote to leave the EU?

You keep referring to "the Tories" and not Westminster. Are you saying Scottish people wouldn't have a problem with the Union if Labour were in power?

The Tories didn't win the election = the Union is working.
The Tories win the election = we want our independence!

It's all a tad pathetic if that's the case.
 
Just a note, its only in last few years scotland has been receiving more than it puts in. For the vast majority of modern times it has put in more tax per person than UK average.

People complain about City being misrepresented in the media all the time but are happy to peddle stories of half truths if it fits their agenda in exactly the same way.

Its why threads like this or the EU are pointless for discussion. People will stick to their guns at all costs and ends up turning into insults and jibes at each side.

Is that the case with regard to what the average man in the street contributes / feels the burden of - or is that because, in the main, North sea oil and gas revenues are apportioned to Scotland rather than pro-rata across the 4 countries of the UK base on a basis of population?
