Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[scooterscot]

Maybe all these unemployed public sector employees could be utilised sprinkling magic pixie dust around to grow the economy?
I mean you can only save so much money trading your Armed Forces in against white flags and employing Border Guards to prevent anyone leaving.....

Many of them are not from Scotland!

One bridge at a time.

But it's a big bridge. I do agree that a lot of the details will be sorted out, but currency and EU membership are huge. If you think currency isn't, then why did Salmond suddenly start insisting on CU?

would that be the one with a slope on it?

CU has being on the debate since they came to office 4 years ago.

Is that why none of you want to answer my questions re whether the Panama solution is compatible with EU membership?

Probably because they don't publish anything like that to keep the people informed.

I know you're getting at the EU rules wouldn't allow it but this is a unique situation. No country within the EU has independence from a union that has membership.

As has been pointed out earlier, we have lots of natural resources and strategically are a very important part in the north Atlantic. I think the EU will find a way of arguing that as we are already EU citizens we will be allowed to fast track. If that means letting us in with the panama solution then it might happen.

rUK might be voting to leave the EU in 2017 anyway.

Oh right...............so kick them out if they are furrin then?

Aye, sounds like the base materials are all in place for this Socialist Shangri-La.
What next, book burning evenings?

Yes, but when did it become the demand of the SNP?

So your Plan A is CU, which none of the UK parties want.
Your Plan B might be allowed.

Just stop the nonsense and be honest about the pound scots, maybe with a Sterling Peg. You'll get in the EU then, no problem and I think make a real go of it. But the dishonesty of the CU Plan A / Panama Plan B is shocking.

I don't think we will get into the EU without joining the euro, I think that is essentially what is happening to Iceland.

Shocking. When will the Scottish Government publish its legal guidance

BBC News - Scottish referendum: EU legal advice received but will not be disclosed

Or was it from Mr Robert Venables QC?
