Scottish independence

can we rebuild Hadrian's wall with the taxes we'll save, only make it bigger this time

We should stick toll booths on the A1 at Berwick and the M6 at Carlisle and charge the ginger fuckers entry.
 
20% of Europe's fish
 25% of Europe's tidal potential.
The Crown Estate, which owns the sea bed, has awarded leases for just over 1.6 gigawatts of marine projects in the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters - potentially enough to power 750,000 households.
Scotland boasts 25% of Europe's offshore wind resources.
60% of Europe's oil reserves.

Really? Would Europe vote against scotland? They voted in Croatia in 2013 and they can't offer any of this?
 
Wait till the shetlanders say hang on a minute, all that oil is in our waters and fuck you Salmond and Scotland, we want our independence lol.

Let's hope he is as keen to recognise the sovereign right of a people then.

An independent Scotland won't be in the EU and will face a huge battle to gain entry, FACT Mr Salmond and not scaremongering.

Why on earth would the EU ostracise them? Not a fact at all; it's an opinion.

The EU have already said they have no right to automatic membership. Given recent history of new currencies and small economies and the sheer amount of instability a nervous world market can bring, do you honestly think they are going to get it without any issues whatsoever?

Was stating it's supposition, not fact. If it separates peacefully from an existing EU member country with that country's blessing, it's a bit of a one-off.

Spain has already said it will vehemently oppose Scotlands entry into Europe.

Alex Salmonds says food prices wont go up, ha ha, just ask Southern Ireland whos costs are far higher than Northern Ireland and why so many down south travel north to fill their cars up.



So they drive to a different country to get cheaper petrol ?

you do realise that the vast amount of what you mentioned there is currently subsidised by the UK taxpayers to make it cheaper for you?
