And remind me if u will, what is the uk national debt? Three trillion and rising?
Is it not the case that the entire uk is bankrupt?

Almost certainly in any normal times, which is why we will all have to stick together to weather this storm . I am no great unionist supporter, but I can see the reality of the situation. If for one minute I thought Scotland could afford to go on its own and the figures stacked up , I would be happy to cast adrift from Westminster.
Unfortunately, in Scotland we have the sad situation where half the country are working their arses off to allow the other half to sit around greeting about how bad things are

I can see why those living near the border dont want independence
The solution could be to move the border either to soutra hill or hadrians wall?

Lol the BBC ITV C4 ect bend over backwards to accommodate the SNP and promote them for some reason
I don't want to see this country calved up any more than it all ready is !
They would throw the hand grenade and slink off into wilderness to their feathered nests and leave the mess for others to clear up !
No thanks !
The evidence suggests otherwise. PR gives small parties undue leverage. That is well understood. No System is perfect but PR is actually over representation of small parties. Do not the greens in Holyrood make demands to the SNP in return for their for their support. It leads to bizarre situations where the largest party by vote numbers can not have any power as a coalition of smaller parties stops it. So the majority get no representation.
As I said earlier I think a case could be made for independence but the SNP comes from Marxist left jingoistic position, and they will be very happy to see a lot of damage to country to achieve it. This is the idea of the "power struggle", the ends always justify the means regardless of any cost.

Well he would angry little woman matches his angry little man persona perfectly
I wouldn't say that, He has his opinion that's up to him, he is correct on a number of things but very often goes to far

I didn't follow this thread after the first page because I knew what it would descend into. Happens all the time, especially on the internet. The internet is good in one respect but terrible in another. We need face to face communication rather than over the net discussion. Some of my friends are arch nats but face to face I get on fine with them, but over the net it would descend to hatred. Sadly the politicians are well aware of this and use it to stoke division and dissatisfaction. There seems to be a 50/50 polarisation of strong political views across the world and I don't think it ends well...
