As part of the deal do we get to give Orkney and Shetland back to the Norwegians?

Yeah, the Argies can have the Falklands, bunch of c8nts those people anyway.

Not sure about the Faroe Islands and why you want to pick on them......didnt they beat your mob at footy a few years ago?

As for Carlisle.....I think Hadrian put it on the English side.

The one show covered this in part tonight and raised some questions.

If its a divorce, hows the settlement going to work out, hows Scotland going to repay the national debt?

Hows the foreign embassy thing going to work?

Hows the armed forces going to work.....do we take all the bases currently in scotland and take them south?

Will we work the same as when Ireland left?

Hows the currency going to work....will the Scots go for the Euro?

Interesting times.

Last I heard they'd be shared. Just like the Queen. :lol:

It's called independence-lite :lol:

No, one of the SNP's campaign themes has been keeping the RAF bases at Lossiemouth and Leuchars, which are threatened with closure :lol:

You mean public spending like there's no tomorrow, running up a debt which cripples the country when the economy slows down? :lol:

That was the plan before it nearly crippled Ireland. Then the policy was to keep sterling, which seemed strange because the SNP were complaining that interest rates set by the Bank of England in London were inappropriate for Scotland. Which was why they wanted them set by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt via the euro. :lol:

Thus it all depends on which day of the week it is :lol:

Indeed, but at least the SNP has made a good job of running Scotland's taxi trade :lol:

I think the BBC are more interested in the revenue that they will lose.Sky news did a similar piece and covered the same issues but were not biased.

Nicola sturgeon also answered most of those questions on a news night program that slated the thought of independence .If scotland is such a burden on Westminster why all the fuss :?:

It is going to be the Scottish people who decide and i cannot wait to start chapping doors in support of INDEPENDENCE :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
