I think we need a list of companies and people who are bullying Scotland and those that aren't....

I wonder if, after the Scots reject the SNP's nonsense, they'll try to launch a group compensation claim for bullying induced PTSD. :D

They really haven't thought it all through have they. If it wasn't so pathetic it'd be laughable.

Crazy Alex seems to think he can just set things up at the drop of a hat and all will be well by then end of the first parliament of independence totally showing a complete lack of understanding in terms of military and intelligence matters. What worries me in the unlikely event they voted for independence is that scotland would become the open back door into the rest of the UK while they are trying to get it right. That's just the practical side of setting everything up god alone knows what sums they have dreamed up for the cost but if it's anything like their other sums scottish taxpayers would be in for one hell of a nasty shock at some point.

At this point has this imbecile got any credibility left and does he really believe he can hoodwink the entire scottish electorate with his lofty promises backed up by nothing other then his own hot air oh and that dotty little woman i see on the news a lot spouting similar rubbish. Scotland deserves a much better public face then it has right now hopefully after the no vote work can start on getting a more deserving public face.

Fears grow in Cabinet of a "constitutional crisis" which would put the election in doubt, as legal expert warns that Scottish independence could bring down the next government

The 2015 general election will be thrown into turmoil if Scotland votes for independence in September’s referendum, according to government legal advice.

An election is scheduled to be held on May 7 next year but by then Scotland could already be preparing to separate from the rest of the United Kingdom.

Independence would make Scotland less secure, Philip Hammond warns
David Cameron: Scotland to be allowed to set own taxes
Scottish MPs 'to continue shaping English law after independence vote'
The leading lawyer who wrote the Westminster government’s legal advice on Scottish independence is now warning that a “Yes” vote in the referendum would have major ramifications for the election, and could destabilise the next British government.

Cabinet ministers fear that if Alex Salmond’s independence campaign succeeds, the general election would be in grave doubt, plunging Britain into an unprecedented “constitutional crisis”.

In a memorandum for the House of Lords, Professor Alan Boyle, a specialist in international law at Edinburgh University, outlined two options for the election if Scotland chooses independence on September 18.

Emergency laws could be passed months before the election to ban the 59 Scottish constituencies from taking part and hold polls only in England, Wales and Northern Ireland next May, he said.

"Less secure."
Aye,in yer dreams laddie.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Yes because the loss of thousands of jobs, millions in tax revenue and all the associated business that large firms support will be excellent news for the economy of a new Scotland. :rolleyes:

The SNP are doing the labour "bankers bonuses" trick of pledging to fill several huge budget holes from the same source, the same source that's dropped in value over the last fee years and will continue to do so.

Don't worry I'm sure fat eck has a plan to set up a barter system where everything is paid for with ginger bottles and fried mars bars.

Look humourless drone stop bullying Jimi with facts and away and enjoy your freedom, you've nestled under the yoke of English oppression to long

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Well it won't be all bad, just think how much quieter it'll be up there if the SNP gets its way... :D

Salmond does like to have his cake and eat it. I reckon he should put his money where his mouth is and go for total independence not his version which is akin to children leaving home but popping back every weekend when the cupboard's empty, the money's run out and the dirty washing needs doing. I've often heard Salmond claim that an independent Scotland would be a good friend to its immediate neighbours, however that promise seems to be predicated on the SNP being able to choose its obligations/commitments as if it were filling a pick 'n' mix bag at Woolworths.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Yes, kind of makes you wonder why all those Tories are so against separatism. It's almost as if they think it's a genuinely bad idea. :rolleyes:

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

The SNP are very unhappy with Andrew Marr daring to suggest on his programme there may be others with a different viewpoint to theirs.....

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Salmond has totally lost it. They have all totally lost it. All they have left in the armoury is victimhood.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I would have thought that Marr putting forward an alternate viewpoint would have given them an ideal opportunity to point out any supposed errors and flaws in those views. The fact that instead, they got all in a huff about it, says it all.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Other opinions.

"The Scottish Parliament has heard a number of incredibly eminent witnesses explain how and why Scotland would continue as a member of the EU on independence. That appears to have been ignored by the Andrew Marr programme in favour of an opinion from the President of the Commission that has been roundly rejected by EU experts. Any assessment of the balance of evidence would show an independent Scotland continuing in the EU."

Easy to see why Salmond got into such a tizz.
