Course, not, it's a joke at the end of the day
rather loike scotch independence.

it's=d be interesting to see how much the money would buy though. I reckon if we kept the bet bits of the south, as suggested by APe, we could make it work and probably be better off.

I think we'd do better to kick Scotland out and most of the north, and such, never seen what we gain from hanging on to the shit bits.

scotland is responsible for a hell of a lot of governments revenue right now
but mostly what you gain is not having the crushing certainty of the tories in power for the rest of time. you may wish to consider this.

This is a good point, well the torries bit anyway
I suspect the revenue comes form Oil and I suspect we'd keep that.

Either you want Scotland and their contribution to the economy or you don't.
The oil comes mainly from Scotland. The rest from the English side of the North Sea.

Scotland, or the waters around?
fuck it, point less arguement. I'm not running this country, or things'd be run betterer.

"Even if all revenue from North Sea oil and gas had come to Scotland, the country would have had a 'persistent deficit'," says Professor Arthur Midwinter, an adviser to the Scottish Executive's finance committee.

Everything else I've read on the subject says quite the opposite.
That if Scotland had gained independence first time around in the 1970s it would now be as wealthy as Norway or Switzerland.
