They'd have to let us in first.
Economically, how do you get from a 27% deficit to the notional 3% required to blag your way in? I know, Visegrád, if you say so, but Germoney doesn't have infinitely deep pockets to fund the expansion of the Reich.
Politically, Spain, at a minimum, would veto it because they can't have Catalonia break away in a reverse-Scotchland manoeuvre (Catalonia bankrolls the rest of Spain).
Scotchland can't chuck England until it's on a cast iron promise that it can shack up with Europe. Well, a gold and diamond promise - we'd need a ring on it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, whether you wanted to or not.
I doubt this has much to do with Scottish independence, it's just Wee Jimmy Krankie being the ultimate Gina "i'm only doing it to ensure democratic structure is followed" Miller.
If she can force a threat of Jockzit, Brexit will go on the back burner and probably be delayed or even abolished, which funnily enough, will probably suit most of the institution including May.
This was fairly obviously one of the biggest Remainer missiles against the democratic will of the UK people, which unfortunately includes Scotland too. Whether the majority wanted the result or not, as part of the UK, they all got a vote too. The majority decides, not the minority, well it should do, but Gina Miller, Wee Jimmy etc... ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Interesting supposition. Let's see what Sharia does, rather than what she says she might do.
Still no trigger pull on #Brexit. She's run out of excuses.

One or some of the many EU Presidents are just after moaning that there cannot be a post-Brexit border between North and South Paddyland because... don't want it. Not fair. [Stamps foot] How very dare you.
If Holyrood ever does get minimum booze pricing past the EU (how ironical) then I could see booze cruises becoming the casus belli for customs checkpoints on the M74. Just for commercial vehicles, of course. At first. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Mmm, I can hear "look favourably upon" emanating from some-to-many EU presidents. Up until the point that Germoney says it's not inviting another beggar into its mansion. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

The problem I have, is that it feels to me that people in Scotland receive more and get greater benefits than I do.
I live in Yorkshire, which is similar in size to Scotland in population and is by far the largest county in England.
Looking at the House of Commons briefing Number 04033, I can see that Scotland has £10,536 per head spent on it, Yorkshire £8,791. England has a whole gets £8,816 per head spent on it.
Why is it that I receive soo much less nearly £2K, it's just not fair, it's not right, we all pay our taxes equally.
The South east is even worse off than Yorkshire, London gets nearly as much as Scotland per head as does Northern Ireland.
My children will be in debt for years to pay for their university, I have to pay for my own prescriptions, if I have another child, I will not receive a free Scandi style baby care box.
I do not have my own local assembly, Scotland/Northern Ireland and London all have.
The only plus points is that I can be trusted to buy a pint at my local football club and I am trusted to drive after having a single pint. (Ohh and we don’t have the midgies). ____________________ I've a twin and a 4. |

Oh, we do.
Yes, infrastructure costs are higher, but Holyrood lives far, far beyond its means to buy votes.
Free prescriptions, lower A&E waiting times, better geezer care, no university fees (for Scotties), we just take and take and take then spit in England's eye and blame it for our woes.

2. To send Boris to offend somebody in the EU - May 2017
2. To send Boris to offend somebody in the EU again - Aug 2017
2017
3. Refuse to recognise previous UK obligations and contracts - Oct 2017
3. Get the middle finger from the EU about any deal - Apr 2018
4. Lose Scotland - Oct 2018
5. Lose NI - Jan 2019
6. Lose Wales - Feb 2019
6. Lose London - Mar 2019
7. The UK is out of the EU and needs a new name, probaly little England? - Apr 2019
8. Lose the UN Security Council as there is no more United Kingdom.- 2020?
9 .The new global power is ready. Send the gun ships....wait send the new Boris yacht to the former colonies and start the global domination as you wish. -2021
10. Little England leaves the edge of the Solar system in 2025 as predicted by the Pub Landlord of the FUKIP.

London generates a shit load of tax revenue, it would be massively better off as an independent state. What a ludicrous suggestion I hear you cry, well London voted remain with a population larger than Scotland and Wales combined, yet the Scots and the Welsh still see it as a reason to breakaway.
Personally I welcome it, Wales and Scotland get more benefits as it is, which I'm sure they'll be able to maintain with tax revenues from such a small population. |

Is your complaint that you're not being forced to take your share of medication, because we all pay our taxes equally, funding the NHS
I wonder, could it possibly be that there's a different cost associated with delivering the same services to communities that live in more Scotland and those that live in yawn.... |
