No mate, it was a serious question as I saw fish ( I take it meaning farmed or wild salmon) mentioned. The 'trawl' bit was my pathetic attempt at humour. SorryCan someone answer this question? (Unless it's a play on words about Salmon and Sturgeon then I sort of get it)
And you'r forgetting they could be anytime soon, anything is possible in that basket case called Europe, they make it up as they go alongYou forget the salient point.
They are not sovereign states. Scotland is.

Do you think they are in a majority' and have 56 MPs all down to just wanting independence?
If it was wouldn't that suggest it's all over then? We've won under that scenario of single issue?
We voted them in because they do a better job than both the Tories and labour on everything.
Would a 52% Yes vote be decisive enough to go?
Also 16 year old children will be allowed to vote. Will they understand what they are voting for? seeing as adults didn't understand the brexit vote.
Last time the Sheltlands and Orkneys wrote a letter to the First Minister saying they wouldn't leave the Union if their people voted to remain. What are the plans to deal with that situation?
Why would you deny the £ if you had the choice?
Firstly, this was on the very possible hypothetical that Scotland would have to leave the EU in the event that it left the UK and reapply. In that case, a condition for new countries entering the EU is adopting the Euro.
Secondly, the Bank of England wouldn't want its currency tied to an economy it can't control. Similarly, Scotland can't act to devalue their currency to boost exporting if their currency is controlled by a third party.

Yup, the Shetlands and Orkneys have more in common with the Scilly Isles and Iceland than Glasgow or Edinburgh.

I see the usual RWNJs are howling. The same ones who wanted an English only vote on certain issues in parliament.Well the scots voted to stay in EU (mainly English votes) are forcing them to leave. Shame the RWNJs don't see the hypocrisy. Mind they are not that bright to start with so no surprise. The liberals are not much better, allowing nationalism to dictate policies everywhere but at home. As for the labour lefties, irelevent in Scotland and England. No wonder Nicola fancies her chances face with that lot lined up against her. Go girl (then take over England!)
So, to paraphrase (whilst overlooking the primary school grammar), everyone's a thick cnut except you and Crankie.

You forgot Sean Coddery. They like to fly him over from Barbados to wave the flag for them every now and again, as hypocritical as you'll ever see.Well, theres Sturgeon, Salmon and errr Rod Stewart for starters.

That's because they honestly don't have a clue, I've seen the Wee Krankie asked questions on this so many times and she's dodged it every single time. They seem to believe deep down that they'll keep the £ and stay in Nato and Europe despite being told by the people that actually decide these things that they won't. And the sheep just follow along going baaa.That's fair enough, but I haven't heard anything from the SNP on whether that is agreeable with them and how they would perform such a feat.
As I've heard it, they want to maintain sterling and haven't answered questions on whether they'd conform to the Euro.
And I've heard no policies on how they plan to reduce that deficit, other than unrealistic hopes of sky high oil prices.

Well they can keep the pound, they can have whichever currency they like; just no control over settings of interest rates or a lender of last resort.That's because they honestly don't have a clue, I've seen the Wee Krankie asked questions on this so many times and she's dodged it every single time.

They can't stay in NATO they would need to leave and then reapply. Also they are anti nuclear and NATO is a nuclear armed force so they would be refused membership unless they changed their stance.
Europe will be fun, I can see the Spanish throwing a fit and shouting about it being scorchio.

Oh we would invade they cunts.
That would need to be discussed. That would be our Catalonia situation and if they wanted to remain and followed the process then I wouldn't have an issue.

Would you have an issue with them taking their oil with them?

I'm not normally a grammar Nazi but, if you're having a go at all and sundry for being thick, it's best not to paint a target on your back.
Anyway, enjoy the spectacle. These are unprecedented times. :)

Yeah, with English oil and Shetland oil there doesn't appear to be any Scottish oil.
