Scottish Referendum

[telectrix]

and then they can have the rest of the Poles that aren't already in england.

 

[UNG]

More in control than we are now, that's for sure!

Once Salmond installs himself as President he'll dictate what you do

Hum, not sure about that.

Politicians always make promises when they are not in charge and when they are the "excuse list" gets rolled out big time.

What don't you like at the moment? spill the beans!

Errm...no. I think I'll keep that to myself. I'm not taking the bait and giving more ammunition...

That's if his party are voted in

Typical - you would do well as a Politician.

The reality is that an independent Scotland will have some fairly unpalitable decisions to make - probably not at first, but certainly within 10 years so beware the budgets to come.

cost them a bomb to rebuild that wall they've pulled down to build cottages.

If it goes t**s up I'll move to Wales and vote for independence :44:

 

[shanky887614]

there'a major problem if scotland goes independent that nobody's spotted yet. the english govt. will put import taxes on scotch.

I aint bothered ill apply for dual nationality passport and bring back me self XD

 

[Octopus]

One plus for a Scotland yes, would be they keep Gordon Brown!

 

[UNG]

And Alistair Darling!!

You are assuming you will get the chance to vote him out

 

[trev]

Then who do you expect to bail you out??

Why are you asking that?
Who would Equador expect to bail them out if their country failed? Or New Zealand?

 

[Dcf]

And Alistair Darling!!

He will be lucky if he can show his face in Scotland again after his better together antics
he is all yours

 

[Guest77]

He's welcome here as far as I am concerned, I like him.

 

[trev]

Given a choice between Brown & Darling or Cameron the towel folder Osborne I'd pick the first 2

 

[Besoeker]

I'm reminded of the articles that went round a few years ago about the revocation of independence for the USA.
Maybe Scotland could/should do the same.
And make it retrospective.

Revocation of the monarchy - the first monarch of the union was King James VI - he of the KJV bible.
So maybe we should revoke the bible too.
Then penicillin.
Television.
The telephone
Logarithms
James Clerk Maxwell's work on electricity and magnetism
Lord Kelvin
The watt

And peter Pan.

No a clue why it would be a good idea

 

[jaypp]

This is on BBC iplayer;

Scotland: For Richer or Poorer

I only 'skip' watched it but saw no reference to Scotlands 'clean energy' resources (wind farms etc), only their already depleted North Sea oil reserves (estimated 24 billion barrels remaining)!

 

[trev]

A thought just occurred to me. If the Scots do vote for independence what will happen to the members we have from north of Berwick? After all, they'll be foreigners then.
I hope it's a no because we need the non tory MPs from there.

They might get hungry, all the supermarket giants will leave

 

[trev]

I'd like them to shift the border south a few miles if they do leave. Put it around the A1231 and I'll put up with that. I'd rather be an independent jock than be ruled by tories forever.

 

[Guest77]

I think if London has a 12 foot wall around it and David Cameron only has powers within the wall nearly all the UK will be happy and the Scots will stick with us lol, I am a west country man, we don't like anyone without a farmers accent

does that limit your music experience to the wurzels on repeat?

 

[trev]

Can I take most people out of that 12 foot wall then fill it about 10 feet deep with water or ready mix?

 

[Guest77]

Yes please lol, I am intending to retire to somerset in a few years and hope I only see apple orchards and wildlife and definately no politicians.

 

[dingledong]

Most people trev then fill it with cement hmmm sounds like a Stalinist purge me old China (pun intended)

 

[Octopus]

The vast majority of our current Politicians are only there for a career, then a lucrative book and lectures.

I'd like to see the back of all of them who don't have a minimum 20 years service in private industry - which wouldn't leave many!

If you want to call it a Stalinist purge then you crack on mate. I'm comfortable with it.
I prefer the term spring cleaning though

 

[Marvo]

Maybe meet in the middle and call it Spring Cleansing.
