An independent Scotland?

Watching Alasdair Darling defend the Union. What a fecking disaster. Could the Better Together team not find anyone better??

scotland should be independent like the escorts......

scotlands patriotism will cloud their reason. if they had a head, they would stay with the UK for economical reasons

Should Scotland vote for independence? After all there is already Escort Scotland! Probably better for Ireland if they stay in the UK but, leaving that aside?

Question is I hear, would they ever be considered truly independent when they seem adamant to keep the currency, ie the Queen's Head

Scotland....

Are they a proper country?

If they vote no they should be kicked out of international sports organisation like FIFA.

Bloody tightwads it will be all about money rather than patriotism.

Eritrea broke away from Ethiopia but neither county had much moolah.

They are but can't see them ever accepting the euro currency especially now it very weak compared to sterling, they want independence but want to keep the sterling currency too.
