Free everything, 4% rise for NHS staff, double child benefit, an interim monkey to families. It's like a magic money orchard up there!

Do I take it the Englishman doesn't want an independent Scotland to join the EU?

[emmie]

so a different currency, so if i go to Scotland and will have to change my pounds for what...

militarily we are one now, split how...

elect a President, how long will that take. this is all airy fairy stuff not real time

[JimF]

"so if i go to Scotland and will have to change my pounds"

Just like you do when you visit any other country! Why is this so difficult to understand?

[Fatalbertfixer]

Would we need a hard boarder if Scotland rejoins the EU?

[ToraToraTora]

would you remain in NATO? ....and provide the comensurate military? Would you construct a border? In the interim would you seek to prevent an exodus to the UK?

[emmie]

sorry but the Queen is currently Head of State, Nicola i think said that she wanted to keep the monarchy?

[emmie]

its bonkers that;s what.

[DTCwordfan]

Technically, one could argue that the Queen is more Scottish than English what with James VI becoming James 1st when the two thrones merged - allowing for her Germanic roots as well.

[ToraToraTora]

"Would we need a hard boarder if Scotland rejoins the EU? " - the EUSSR would demand it as a condition of joining, they'd also demand you join the Euro.

Scotland have banked a fortune in readiness for independence using this little trick.

all the people that don't want to be Indpendent, what happens to them, i suppose they could always move south.. and perhaps the hardline Scot Nats can move back up to Scotland, those that currently reside in England. or don;t you see that happening, that everyone is going to love not being part of the UK anymore.

[JimF]

"i suppose they could always move south"

I suppose they could! Or they could stay and contribute to an independent Scotland. You could apply the same logic to the people who didn't want to leave the EU. They could always move to an EU nation.

[emmie]

one or two did move from here, not least Stanley Johnson, Boris dad, who has taken French citizenship i think.

[emmie]

i give up. its no good, i can't understand where you, maggie, anne are coming from.. to be Independent, but you won't be in the longer term, if you join the EU -

[ToraToraTora]
