Scottish trade with UK four times that of trade with eu

[The_Equalizer]

Mates? The same ones that have inflicted Tory government after Tory government upon us? If we're a union of equals why is poverty so rife in Scotland (as reported today)? The Scottish parliament is improving things surely but slowly, it's not something you can turn around in an instant.

Tory government for 300 hundred years. New to me.

But you want independence come hell or high water. Any chance of an objective point of view?

The UK is doing the same thing as a whole to the EU. Scotland needs control of its own taxes, the whole works.

That can only be gained through independence.

But your country folk thought differently. The ones that actually live there.

Maybe your country folk can make Scotland rich & prosperous so it doesn't have to be subsidised and then vote the yoke of the United Kingdom away?

or you could just whinge about it continually from abroad.

Scottish trade with the EU hasn't grown for 10 years. It has grown massively with the rest of the UK.

Official figures. Report from that English rag, The Scotsman.

Sturgeon lovers. Think before you tell us how important the EU is to you.

How much of that trade is expat Scots (the ones who were smart enough to get the hell out) buying up whisky and haggis by the bucketload to remind themselves they are still Scots?

EU market is 100's of millions of people
UK 60 million
Scotland will have free trade with the EU if they go independent and UK not guess who will be laughing then

Shame they will still have nothing to sell to them...

Indeed; he's not exactly a cultural fit with their reputation for efficiency!

Head for head more Scots live throughout the world than those from England.

Why do so many folks in England live with their parents anyhoe? It's a little unhealthy if you ask me.
