Are you actually living in the real world? The rest of the UK will be better off without Scotland and its socialist outlook!
We are happy to help the Scots out while they stay, but if they want to leave, for God's sake, go!
We'll soon see how that works out.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I am so sick of this woman trying to be the person to make history for Scotland to be Independent , She does not give a jot about the trouble we would be in with different currency and division among the U K, as long as she makes herself powerful. I hope and pray this will never happen, It s time the S N P were done away with in my opinion ,

To some, anything left of the Conservative Party is socialist.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
It would best for Britain to continue not to allow Scotland to use the GBP if they gain independence.
With Scotland being a bad business proposition (unable to balance its books), there would be an immediate and sustained fall in the GBP's value.
Sod them means sod them.

Well apparently SNP say that’s just fine. So if Scotland could make it on their own. England and Wales would do just fine.

Amazing that people would want to throw away over 300 years of Union - what next, kick out the North, Wales, and Cornwall because they run a deficit?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I thought we were trying to make Great Britain great again? Splitting apart will hardly achieve that.

It's about the constant whingeing from those areas. They are the ones wanting separation.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Personally I think we should get rid of the SE Region. That would make Britain great again !
It's going to be first to go under anyway come the floods, so only a matter of time

I think most people in the UK want Scotland to be part of the UK, but if there was to be another referendum and Scotland wanted out, then it should be a clean break. No more Barnett formula, no more British pound, no more BBC in Scotland, etc.
Out means out.
(pauses in anticipation of some joker who wants to know what 'out' actually means...)

If they vote to leave then the only democratic thing to do is have a peoples vote to give them the chance to stay,because they didn't know what they were voting for and we now have so much more information,oh and some bloke wrote something on a bus somewhere that i didn't like

So how would the downsized UK you envisage fare if the source of wealth generated by the SE was cut off?
The SE, of course, would be the new 'Singapore'!

Wealth generated in the SE and spent in the SE doesn't benefit anyone in the wider country anyway.

Perhaps he should come down to parts of Devon and Cornwall where economic deprivation is very prevalent.
