Since Scotland contrubutes 15% to UK GDP, it is only fair if it takes on 15% of UK National Debt!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

What will happen to BBC, ITV and C4 if Scotland becomes Independent!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

The SNP favours a state-funded broadcaster modelled on BBC Scotland, so it's possible they would seek to negotiate the splitting of BBC Scotland from the rest of the corporation. Given the amount of programming already made at Pacific Quay (BBC Scotland's HQ, in Glasgow), it's possible that the BBC in London would continue to commission material to be made there. That might help square the circle a bit, given that Scotland benefits more from the licence fee than it actually contributes.

The concept of 'Britain' isn't going to go away if Scotland goes independent (and that's still a mighty big 'if', by the way). It will just take on a somewhat different meaning. There's no reason why the BBC couldn't become a federation of broadcasters serving the nations of the British Isles. In fact, England is the only place where the continuity announcers don't refer to the channel at all times as "BBC (insert nation name here)" .... In Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland the channel is always named after the nation you are viewing in.

As for the others, well STV has never been subsumed by the single ITV1 brand that now operates across England and Wales so no change required there. The ITV network is already designed to operate as a network of independent local broadcasters. Channel 4 makes no effort to regionalise its output beyond varying its advertising slots from place to place. If it ceased to broadcast on Freeview in Scotland - and I see no reason why it should - then its English operation would still be free-to-air on satellite and probably on cable too.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

So the BBC could become the holding company for EBC (English Broadcasting Corporation), WBC (Welsh Broadcasting Corporation) SBC (Scottish Broadcasting Corporation) and NIBC (Northern Irish Broadcasting Corporation)

BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four and BBC News Channel will be split under regional lines in the manner of:

EBC: EBC One, EBC Two, EBC Three, EBC Four and EBC News Channel

WBC: WBC One, WBC Two, WBC Three, WBC Four and WBC News Channel

SBC: SBC One, SBC Two, SBC Three, SBC Four and SBC News Channel

NIBC: NIBC One, NIBC Two, NIBC Three, NIBC Four and NIBC News Channel

BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 live, 6 Music, 1Xtra, 4 Extra, 5 Live Sports Extra and Asian network will be split under regional lines in the same manner as the TV stations

BBC Local Radio will be transfed to the regional braodcasters and renamed

They will also share resources andd co-ordinate their activities

The BBC Itself will run the childrens channels, The World Serivce, the International TV channels and co-ordinate the actvites of the BBC, EBC, WBC, SBC and NIBC

BBC Worldwide will now be resposible for the commercial activities of BBC, EBC, WBC, SBC and NIBC

Maybe that could be the new "Federated" BBC model!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Isn't 2014 supposedly when economically things are meant to be turning round or starting too in any real way so maybe the timing of it from salmonds point of view is scotland (and the rest of us of course) endures the worst of austerity and he can claim scotland was paying for englands debt or somesuch. He clearly is holding out till 2014 for some practical reason that he feels will give him best chance and elections don't really do that.

I still cannot see the scots ever voting to leave the union in my lifetime even much less in the next couple of years.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

The difference being that most Germans wanted the wall to come down and took it down at the earliest opportunity. ;)

Arriving at the BBC Scotland OB this lunchtime, I was struck at just how disappointed some of the studio audience were that the programme had effectively become a referendum special. Among most Scots, not only is there little appetite for independence, I would say there's little appetite for even talking about it, or voting on it.

Of course that does open the disturbing possibility of a yes vote being carried narrowly on a low turnout, which was enough to inflict an Assembly on the reluctant/indifferent Welsh a little over 10 years ago.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

You're right off course.

I'd be surprised if there was a majority of SNP voters who would vote for independence, never mind the majority of the electorate.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I am a Scot & I will be voting NO for definate. I think we should leave things as they are. Alex Salmon thinks he is Brave Heart & is actually trying to put the 2 countries against each other, we need one another to keep the UK strong. He is destroying Scotland with his soft touch in the justice system & also allowing to many people into the country. I for one want to keep the £ and not the Euro,. He only wants POWER.[COLOR="Silver"]

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

As I said earlier in the thread wee Alec would be better of campaining down here

Support for Scottish independence is higher in England and Wales than it is north of the border, according to a poll published tonight.

Only 26% of voters in Scotland want to break up the Union, compared with 46% who do not, the Survation poll in the Mail on Sunday revealed.

In England and Wales, 29% felt Scotland should quit the UK, with only 40% feeling that it should not.

Tom Harris MP has become the latest to alter the subtitles of the Hitler movie, Downfall, for comic effect ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va6r5Ez-VF8

... losing his role as the party's internet and social media adviser in the process. :D

The background to the new subtitles is a minor controversy that blew up last week when a SNP MSP, Joan McAlpine, stood up at Holyrood and claimed that Labour and the Lib Dems were being 'anti Scottish' for opposing independence.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

No most Scots only voted for the SNP because they weren't labour and were the only party with the slimmest chance of winning a majority.

There is very little appetite for independence among most Scots, Salmond is playing a very smart game by making it appear the big bad English Tories are dictating when and where a referendum can be held. I'm surprised he hasn't demanded Braveheart be played on repeat in the days leading up to the vote.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

He has Braveheart on constantly in his office and expects the party to toe the line and paint themselves blue.:D

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

The blue hue can be attained by simply standing outside for many months of the year in this neck of the woods.;)

There's something about Salmond that make me want to punch his smug face. At the same time I kind of admire what he has done for the SNP. He's clearly opportunistic but he is intelligent enough to continually outmaneuver his foes in both Scotland and those from Westminster.

Other than him, I don't see an awful lot of talent in the SNP, then again I could say the same about the Scottish Labour Party who seem to churn out factory produced replicas of what the perceive to be the ideal candidates.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

No surprise there then.

Now oddly I find Nicola Sturgeon interesting even in her bad business suits.:erm:

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

If and when Salmond quits politics he SNP is in dire trouble. Remember their previous leader was John Swinney, who is currently running the finance department. Under his tenure the SNP almost vanished from sight.

Attitudes towards independence in Scotland are completely disconnected from the popularity or otherwise of the SNP, which at the moment is for its devotees a personality cult centred on Wee Eck and for everyone else the only viable alternative government to Scottish Labour.

When Labour finally becomes left wing again, then they would ditch the SNP and go back to Labour, and I also think that the Conservatives/Lib Dems should let Labour lead the Pro-union campain as they only have 20 MSP's and 12 MP's (which could fall even more come the next election)

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

The SNP seems to have accepted that it's not a good idea to design a referendum with rules that would make a banana republic blush ... Instead of inventing his own body to 'supervise' the poll, he has now agreed that it's probably a good idea if the (shock, horror) Electoral Commission is allowed to do what it's paid to do.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Not really ... Scotland's alternative party of government to Labour has got to be left-of-centre, because left-of-centre is where the centre ground of politics is in Scotland at the moment. The SNP is a left-of-centre party and this is the reason it was able to secure such a convincing victory in 2011. Alex Salmond is first minister despite his separatist agenda, not because of it. Note that while the Scottish electorate returned almost exactly the same General Election result in 2010 as they had in 2005, in the 2011 Holyrood election Labour got a serious kicking. Public opinion hadn't changed all that radically during those 12 months; it just shows that the Scottish electorate is rather more intelligent than it is sometimes given credit for and knows the difference in functions of Westminster and Holyrood and where a vote for one party in one assembly may be more valuable than a vote for that party in another.

If (when) the SNP fails to end the United Kingdom in 2014 it will be in a position of advocating the long-term aim of separatism whilst simultaneously being forced to acknowledge that the question can't be asked again any time soon (though I am certain they will start agitating to ask it again rather sooner than anyone else would like). Having set that aside I would expect them to continue to operate as a left-of-centre alternative to Labour with a policy agenda that seeks to set Scotland apart from England at every possible opportunity.

The thing to remember about Salmond is that, unlike many in his party, he is and has always been a gradualist.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

So if Labour becomes more Left wing, will most SNP voters go to Labour?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I think that England should get its own parliament with the same powers and the same amount of public spending per person as Scotland

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Which lesson at your university gave you that idea.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

So that we can run our own affairs and get better benifits!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

We would be worse off, I love Scotland as this is my home. But we all need to stay in the UK.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

So every person of the UK should get the same level of spending regardless of remoteness, social deprivation, multi-generational unemployment and other factors? :dozey:

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

No, but England should have more devolution and more public spending! We have deprivation, multi-generational unemployment everywere (except London & the South East) as Scotland

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Which is why we need to increase public soending not cut it, we want to have the benifits Scotland is having!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I think I know what your answer will be (but hope springs eternal in the human breast) - how will this increased public spending be funded?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

The usual answer, but it would only be a few billion

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I think your answer shows how we got into the mess we are in - only a few billion here, only a few billion there; it soon adds up to serious money.....;)

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Not sure that makes much sense, or means anything. I think most people take more from the state than they give back. I certainly do, I have a job but I've gone though the entire school system, had treatment on the NHS, am protected by the police and so on. My taxes don't come anywhere near meeting that value.

I don't think that situation is unique to Scotland. She has just presented in a way that makes it seem unusual.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Anyone would think you didn't want them to go...

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Well I don't but that doesn't influence my post. Most people contribute less than they take out unless you're at the higher end of the tax scale.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I do want them to go and it does influence my posts.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Right..but we're still discussing the validity of the article. Whilst it's probably true it's relevance is questionable especially since Scotland is currently a net contributor to the UK.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I am just catching up here. But I still believe we need to stay together. Alex Salmon just wants power, Can,t stand the man

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Anyone who puts their faith in Salmond ought to examine their reasons for so doing. Is it really for the long term good of Scotland or is it just a perceived chance to get one over the 'auld enemy' that'll will ultimately cost them dear. I think Salmond is the Scottish Parliament's version of George Galloway. He sounds good on TV but what has he ever really achieved? Anyway, I'm quite glad it's out of my hands and won't be weeping whatever the final decision. In fact it'd be quite nice to see how well Salmond does trying to live up to all the populist rhetoric he's spouted over the years when he's no longer got the English to blame for all Scotland's ills.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

It doesn't ,it's one of those collection of figures that can be interpreted any number of ways .Is she including the oil revenue? ,is she referring to people receiving state benefits like family allowance ? Is she including her own wage ?.Since making that statement last week (descibed as her mit romney moment) she has not clarified how she applied the figures or what figures she has used to come to that conclusion

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Not true in my case.

Healthcare - I pay for GP ,Hospital, scripts (all private)
Education - Grand children private schools If and when Uni -that will be paid for - guess by then no "state" help will be in place
Bus pass - do not have one.
Social services- not used
Library- not used since Kindle came on the market
Fly first class - so pay extra tax for that. Just to have a better seat !!! On top of paying tax on what I earn.
State pension - will not claimed when of age. The less I appear on "state radar" the happier I am.
Tax paid at highest rate. In France ,USA & UK. Money earned in each country stays in that country.
As far as "pay back" is concerned I lose. So please take it personally when I moan about Welfare , NHS or the government giving my money to countries that send up rockets but their people starve.:mad: and the reason despite not being happy about the man Mitt Romney will get my vote. :dozey:

As Scotland only costs "me" money - GOOD BYE & good luck

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Well Mitt Romney doesn't decide British economic policy regardless. I still never understood why you claim to have been disappointed in Obama and switched to Romney, your politics are very solidly Republican.

Anyway, you're part of the few that puts more than you put in. Although you don't get nothing. The society you live in benefits from an healthy and educated workforce, just because you don't use it doesn't mean the doctors you pay didn't or the teachers that education your grandchildren didn't either. There are all sorts of ways that society as a whole helps you.

I am not going to take it personally when you moan about welfare. I don't receive it at the moment, nor would I feel 'personally offended' if I did.

As for Scotland they, as a whole, do not cost you money. They are contributing more to the union than they take for the moment.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Stupidly I thought Obama was different & was the best man on offer at the time - So I voted for him. I am not a registered Republican. & my vote swings a lot. I never claimed that I do not benefit from what I contribute to in society however I do moan about the number of persons that feel that I should look after them,because they are too lazy to look after them self's.

As I understand it Scotland "spends" more money than the taxes raise in it. So as I see it that is a net cost.


The gulf in state spending between Scotland and England has hit a record £1,600 per head.
Government spending in Scotland averaged £10,212 per person last year – £1,624 per head more than in England.
The staggering figures, buried in Treasury documents, reveal the gap increased by more than 15 per cent in only a year.

Under the arrangements, the Scots receive 10 per cent of the money handed out by Whitehall, despite having little more than eight per cent of the population.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

You understand wrong, of course the Daily Heil is never the best source for unbiased opinions. Probably a little more balanced opinion from the BBC.

Of course its not just a simple exercise, oil revenues can't be split evenly, defence spending isn't a clear cut number and the lower population density will always mean more spending per head on infrastructure projects.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

So it's you and your private hospital that's nicking all our state trained nurses and doctors that i have paid for ;)

social services will be there though if you ever need them ,i know it's a little far fetched but just suppose the banks go bust and all your money disappears ;) shock horror you may even need a state pension

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Arh,yes the BBC

Well we will until Emperor Salmond decides to ban them from the Clyde. Quite how he wants to replace all the lost jobs from closing Faslane and Coulport hasn't yet been decided.

Along with all the other defence jobs that would be binned once Scotlands army after independence would consist of a couple of blokes with old rifles and a rusty converted fishing boat.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Oh yeah....well I guess you can stay on the mod team....for now....

Yup. Also how will Scotland pay for the socialist utopia Salmond is promising once the Oil either runs dry or becomes economically unviable to extract? It can happen almost overnight. Texas thought the good times will never end in the late 80's and the whole place crashed hard in mere months.

I hope they/you don't leave, I think it would be tragic to lose a part of Britain. I wonder how soft the current polling is that suggests 25% in favour. Can 25% of people be won over? Additionally, if it's a 'no' then how long is this issue dead for?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Will Virgin Media still operate in Scotland post-independence? That's what will swing my vote:D

In all serious I've yet to speak to anyone who thinks Scotland going independant is the right move for Scotland. Nobody I know will be voting yes, myself included.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

As it gets closer to the vote and more of the spin gets unravelled I can't see it getting any better. A few years ago Salmond was mouthing off to all and sundry how the Republic of Ireland was a perfect example of how a small country could work well.

He's gone kind of quiet on that front since their economy tanked. :rolleyes:
