That's bollox, Steve. It's actually the other way round. Scotland is a nett exporter of everything to England - money, energy, talent, you name it you owe us for it.
And of course sir has figures (from a reputable independent source) to prove all of that ?
FWIW, If you lot really wanted to do it, it makes no odds to me, but I'd be a bit sad that the last pink splodge of British Empire was being shattered internally.
Then again, I am firmly of the opinion that if you do go, you absolutely should NOT be let back 'in' unless you fucking toe the line.......which, let's face it, you haven't been doing for the last couple of hundred years.
I don't know if you'd be better off on your own, or if we
doon south would benefit........the arguments are so fudged up with bullshit statistics that it's practically impossible to come to any sort of informed opinion on that.......
If you do go though, you're going to have to come up with your own shekels and groats pretty damned fast aren't you?
Otherwise, 'we' will still be holding your pocket money and deciding exactly how much it's worth.......wtf is the point of that then, and has anyone come up with a practical solution?
PS If Toddy comes on to this thread and just posts cut and paste spam bollocks, I give fair warning, I am going to utter some rather rude words to the brainless prick.
