    The difficulty of the nukes is they are transported by road from the sub base in Scotland to northern England and back for maintenance, sometimes running through small villages and towns.

    That might be about to change because the SNP passed a resolution at conference to give local authorities the power to block the convoys.

    Of course Scotland and Wales would be welcome in the EU. More and more of the EU recognise that small independence nations can add a lot to the EU. Scotland has fantastic natural resources so it would be silly to think they wouldn't be accepted. In fact, it is those natural resources that Westminster is fighting so hard to hold onto. The union is finished though and ironically it's the Conservative and Unionist Party that killed it off.

    The Welsh devolution referendum was won on 50.3%

    I think they need a re-run as they probably didn't know what they were voting for and it wasn't a clear majority, it was probably only advisory too and some old people might have died.

    Those first two apply to Germany and France.

    There are other reasons, but this will suffice for now.

    Our unproven theory is that the Scots aren't willing to give up the large subsidies they receive from the Barnet formula and some of then (obviously not from the meth factories in Glasgei) actually like being part of the UK?

    Your unproven theory is that the Scottish voted to remain in the UK mainly because that meant they could stay in the EU? Now we are leaving the EU then Scotland will leave the Union.

    If that is so why when the Brexit Vote was already promised did that not factor in their plans?
    Why did King Alex & Wee Burney not arrange a deal with the EU to become members if they voted out?
    Why didn't leaving the EU factor heavily in the canvassing for the independence vote?
    Apparently everything from Geldorrrfff not releasing another record to your piles are because of Brexit so surely they would have mentioned it?
