I've been down south on numerous occasions,not so much recently though,the roads down south are either 3/4 lanes,the route to the north of Scotland is a bottleneck yet Downing St see fit to spend billions in England on a rail track cutting 40 minutes off a journey,wow,fantastic.
pathetic argument

Somehow your trying to link unsafe roads and capacity problems on roads and trains to independence.

It helps if we have decent roads to get us to Orkney/Shetlanid Isles.

Again what do roads have to do with allowing Shetland and Orkney to become independent from Scotland.

If they wish are they OK to become independent and take their oil with them.

Maybe because they will be poorly presented in the government and be unable to influence policy and decision making.

The same way pro independence supports are claiming for Scotland in the current Union.

Maybe it will start off as devolution for them first, nothing wrong with that.;)

He's English, don't blame him for not knowing his Scottish history. ;)

The Danish/Norse Crown controlled Orkney and Shetland until 1469 when it agreed to hand them to the Scots Crown as a marriage dowry. However the paperwork wasn't completed properly, leading some of the islanders to attempt to assert Scandinavian land rights. This led to some pretty brutal suppression of the islanders by their Scots feudal masters around 1667.

In truth, if the islanders of the north wanted to, they could create a separatist myth for Orkney and Shetland just as valid as the one being spun for Scotland by the GuessNP. When someone says "They are Scottish, they are under our jurisdiction, why would they want to leave us?" it is just as ignorant as someone in England saying "They are British, they are under our jurisdiction, why would they want to leave us?"

I do not know about the Orkney Folks but the Shetland folk seem to be more attached and consider themselves to be Vikings and not Scotties. Independence for Shetland and Orkney I say, that will put a dent in the Scottish economy if the Shetlanders keep their oil fields.

Eh??? Considering independence hasn't even been voted on yet, it would be the UK as a whole that would be affected!

What if the Islanders want independence from Scotland if a vote for independence is a Yes.

At this stage that's a tad hypothetical, do you really think that the islanders would get independence?

Why not if the Scotties are going for it so can they.
