What a daft comment.
They hava every right to ask their population if they want independence.
I believe it's called democracy.

Yes, yours.BBC News said:Alex Salmond said "arrogance" had been shown over the past week.
Salmond: We're going to be in a currency union with you.
UK government: It's a union, and we have a right to decide whether we're going to be in it, and we don't fancy it because whilst we can guarantee Scotland, Scotland can't guarantee us so there's nothing in it for us.
Salmond: You are being so arrogant for refusing our proposal of forced disadvantageous marriage.
Irony beyond irony. What a prick.

Totally agree. If he actually believes what he's saying (which I very much doubt) then I don't know what fucking planet he's living on.Skashion said:Yes, yours.BBC News said:Alex Salmond said "arrogance" had been shown over the past week.

I see where you coming from but I do actually believe this guy is an imbecile with a mental age of an adolescent. The reason I believe this is because when the Treasury guaranteed all UK debt including prospective Scottish debt, Salmond made public comments that it put Scotland in a very strong situation to walk away from any national debt if we don't agree to a currency union, as though he could use Scotland's slice of national debt as a hostage. Well, no, don't want to take your slice of the national debt then you can't leave. Ultimately until the UK Parliament passes a bill dissolving the union which outlines the conditions under which it is dissolved, you're in no kind of position to bargain. The Treasury made those comments for the sake of credit ratings. That Mr Salmond drew anything at all from them to me indicates he's a bit tapped in the heid.gordondaviesmoustache said:Totally agree.

Can some one educate me on something please.
If the scots vote YES thus leaving the union would scots people living and working in England need visa's etc as they would no longer be British but not in the European union either until accepted? Shirley they'd have the same rights as, say, an Australian?

and what rights do you think Australians have ?
I'll tell you, they have none in the UK.
It would be an issue up for discussion in the separation negotiations, but to introduce a visa system would be lunacy given how interwoven the populations are.marcus said:Can some one educate me on something please.

Roughly 400,000 Non-scottish Brits in Scotland and 800,000 Scots in the rest of the UK.

Exactly if you have basic reading comprehension then you should know this- Why would the formal name be as it is "...Great Britain AND Northern Ireland"?
Or as it was before the Emerald Isle was divided "...AND Ireland"?
If it was ever within the territory there wouldn't be a need to make an explicit reference to the individual territory.
Berwick-upon-Tweed is another (historical) example of this- but as I said there really shouldn't be any confusion because it is self explanatory.

Odd that Jose Manuel Barroso is saying that an independent Scotland wouldn't be guaranteed membership of the EU. I'd have expected him to jizz Common Purpose literature all over the faces of his fellow Communists at the prospect of a pro-EU country with its own oil wells wanting to join up.

Barroso left the Portuguese communist party in 1976.
You may as well call Churchill a Liberal, as he crossed the house and represented them.
I know you right wingers like to see reds under every bed, but it's 2014 now.

Are the SNP communist? I don't think they are, I have just checked out some of their policies and they seem quite a tame bunch- offering favourable policies across the board- but to suggest they are Communists, and even more so that the EU is, is quite frankly ridiculous.

Forced repatriation of all Scots in England? Yes please. Can't take more than 10k back with you, including proceeds from the sale of real property. Can't say fairer than that. Wales next. Except Monmouthshire. That's ours.

"Keep Saint George In My Heart Keep Me English,
Keep Saint George In My Heart I Pray,
Keep Saint George In My Heart Keep Me English"
Something like that without coming across too much as being an Englishman!!!
think one of the reasons the EU arent going to be to bending over backwards to welcome the Scots is down to the Spanish and the Basque / Catalan situationChancy Termites said:Odd that Jose Manuel Barroso is saying that an independent Scotland wouldn't be guaranteed membership of the EU.

It's hysterical reading the paranoid ramblings of the right on here.
'Fuck off Jocks - we don't want you'.
'How dare they allow their citizens a democratic vote on independence?'
'The EEC is full of communists'.
'The SNP are fascist 'Little Scotlanders'.
'No they aren't - they are communists'.
'I hope they vote yes'.
'I hope they vote no'.
The world must be a very confusing place to such folk.
Surely the Daily Mail has a definitive view on devolution to save them the trouble of trying to formulate an opinion of their own and getting in a muddle?
