An independent Scotland?

[EIFII]

I See George Galloway is all for a united ireland but not a united scotland.

Yeah that makes fucking sense

What the fuck is a united Scotland, shit for brains?

[EIFII]

Here's a idea why don't you ask your mum that after i have finished shitting in her mouth you IRA scumbag cunt!

Hilarious, you couldn't have found a more ill-judged insult!!

Ireland is partitioned, and so a united Ireland makes sense. So I'll ask you again, what the fuck is a united Scotland meant to be?

[EIFII]

Independent Scotland. And scotland would have to be united for it to happen ass wipe.

Is anyone proposing that Aberdeen and Grampian remain in the UK, while the rest of Scotland goes independent? I hadn't heard that?

No one is proposing independence for only a part of Scotland, and so the term "united Scotland" is an utterly meaningless term. Further, for those who feel the pain of Irish partition, and long for a united Ireland, I should imagine your use of the term "united Scotland" is an insult. Not that I would expect you to care or even understand...

[EIFII]

I could but whats the point, when you look in the mirror you insult yourself

Aren't you a big brave boy insulting people on an anonymous forum? Carry on, please...

Berwick upon Tweed is claimed by England against the wishes of the people. So yes, Scotland is not united.

In a way they are not united but different from NI, the people are divided and some who want independence will also fear going it alone and may actually vote against, better the devil you know and that. Strange too as already mentioned that they seek independence but still dont want to cut ties with the currency.

For many years after Ireland won her independence, she continued to use sterling. If I'm not mistaken, Canada Australia and NZ also used sterling for many years. Your point is?

Brilliant, I didn't realise that, so I consider myself corrected!
Berwick's a lovely town, good luck to them...

I hope they vote yes. Best chance for England to unshackle itself from the dead corpse of the EU. Thank the Lord we never got conned into joining the vanity project that is the Euro.

Why is it better for Ireland that Scotland stay in the UK?

If Scotland goes it alone, it will alter it's tax and development policies and so begin to compete directly with Ireland. Having said that, I love Scotland and would love to see them have the strength of courage and self belief to take their future in the own hands. Of course that would then probably mean that guaranteed conservative majority rule for England, Wales and to a lesser extend NI for decades to come!
