Scottish Independence

Can I ask all those on here in favour of the "Yes" for Independance, where will the money come from for this transition?
Also, those countries that have previously joined the Euro (You, Scotland, can't keep the £ because you're Independant) and gone t*ts up, has anyone considered what lay ahead for an Independant Scotland once they join the Euro? Bit of creative accounting perhaps...
 


Yes of course your correct you must be , if I'm not mistaken this is my opinion thats the same type of opinion that gives the people of this country the various parties to vote for. Give us your reasons and or opinion why not, what are you frightened of .




Again I believe this is still a free country, live where you wish and vote how you like .

As for the shanty towns I think it is time someone in Westminster had a look at England's culture or what is left of it.
It was two PM`s that are Scotch by birth that have made England what it is over the last 20 or so years.
 
Jinga ,you mention overseas travel mmmmm to where Germany at the moment big draw down cyprus again draw down . Afghanistan mmmm lot to offer has HM forces .

I remember the days Hong Kong, Oman, Kenya , Cyprus ,Germany, Canada, Gibraltar, Norway,USA,Falklands,Italy and a host of other countries .

A little to much surmising of what if and what will take place ,Scotland isn't something that has just been born it hasbeen here for a while now, the politicians that we vote in to carry out our requirements can only be guided by what the people ask for .

On many an occasion on this site we have seen lobby your MP for this and that correct way to do things as is got to their surgeries and talk to them ask the questions ,seems as thing drop in the count down, the people of other counties have far more interest in Scotland than those that actually live here ,why .

in terms of travel the army is regularly in Kenya, Canada, the US, and Belize is growing again as well as Cyprus to name a few core opportunities. The new adaptive force will deploy into regions to prevent conflict so training missions all over Africa, Asia and the Middle East are in the offing. Not sure what Scotland will contribute there......

MPs will care little over this and I am not convinced MSPs whatever the shade actually have the intellectual capacity to grasp the issues - and this is based on meeting a few. Labour must be a little worried to see constituencies which build potential majorities evaporate, the Tories will smile and plan years of sole or coalition power based on English demographics and boundaries......
 
Wow, lot of activity on this thread and a whole year to go, I can understand some of the concerns voiced by Scottish members, but what I can't understand is the heated posts from the lads south of the border.

Why would it or should it be of any concern to anyone other than those living in Scotland what we decide.
At the end of the day it will be decided by those that have a vote,thats those who have decided to make their home in Scotland regardless of their country of birth.

The economics of independence is a factor for many but this is about more than the economics its about the kind of country you want to live in, independence may indeed come at a price but I am sure their are many prepared to pay that price for the right to determine their own affairs.

When those that have a vote cast it next year think long and hard before doing so, whatever the outcome we will have to live with it there will be no going back.

Whilst I live south of the Border I do have Scottish roots. If Scotland could have it's independence without the risks that have been put forward here I'd say vote yes. The reality is that it's a no starter, as many have said North of the border it's a pipe dream, solely driven in the name of the SNP for a place in history.
 
Well Gents
I guess the vote on Scottish Independence will have an effect, as I'm sure the Deer will be keeping their heads down with all the flak ;)

:rofl: really, have you seen the size of wee Eck, not feathering a nest ( unless it is reinforced) but he is squirrelling away something. My point is most of them lack the real ability to govern, independence therefore is very high risk.
 
You could live in worse places.
The crime and unemployment is very low.
The fishing is great.
You shoot a rabbit and hundreds more pop their heads up to see what's going on.
No deer though.
 
After talking to the farmers wife, where sometimes I stay, she told me they have put the voting age down hoping for the inexperienced youths vote for independence. I was led to believe that the older end do not want it. I wonder how they will cope with the euro I would think they will loose the sterling. This was her views
 
2p
worth from a mick
i think it should stay within uk, but if they get a yes vote and move away it will be a sad day for all that have a brain :shock: how long before the uk has to bail it out !! or has the north got industry hiding away and billions of millions of pounds stashed away :???: sorry don't know the scottish word for english pounds! maybe its called a pipe dream. vote no fellers you may not like the taste but it is butter and not lard !
:coat:
 
Dropped the voting age to 16!
I know that when I was 16 I would have not had a clue to the consequences of my vote and I would have voted with my heart.I have big misgivings about this and I can see exactly why Salmond has pushed for this
