That would depend entirely on what you mean by "debate". If you mean, some people spoke up and said that should happen, and other people spoke up and said it shouldn't, then yes, there was a "debate".

However, there is still a "debate" over whether the moon landings were faked. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean that it should be taken seriously. In the case of water, there is no legal framework that would allow for a charge to be made, purely and simply because it had crossed a border from Wales to England. The nature of any charge would be one company, based in England, paying a commercial charge for purchase of a product or service of another, based in Wales, but the fact that they were either side of a border would be entirely incidental.

Questions.

1. What is their definition of a " fairer society"

2. What do they mean by " Scotland will get the government they vote for" a meaningless statement.

Certainly a percentage won't

3. If it's Scotland's pound too, surely it's rUK's oil too?

Sigh. Looks like we're going to have to win this the Canadian way.

You mean cheat :confused:

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Can't be bothered anymore. Scotland have made it clear what they think of the Union, it's served it's purpose and now they want to leave.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Thing is, and is probably hasn't argued, but I haven't seen any downsides for rUK should the scots bugger off.

Disruptive to our economy. Our GDP drops. We'll be a smaller country with smaller clout.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Disruptive, but not detrimental, from what I've read.


by how much, and for how long.? As I say, from what I have read, it won't be that massive an impact.


by land mass, economy or population?

I don't think losing 10% of the welfare hungry scots will be that big an issue

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Scotland is a net contributor to the UK. We'll lose out. It's the second most productive region after London and the South East.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

"Region" I thought it was supposed to be a country.

I haven't seen the numbers, to argue the point and you have provided them. but I'd be very surprised if we were to be very worse off by cutting them loose.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Quite.

Won't Scotland and lose out on GDP and tax income, when certain companies move south?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Varies from year to year, but they are way more 'productive' than Wales, Northern Ireland or most of England.
