Scotland need to pay back the UK first, or forever be our slaves.
Mrdonut, I doubt you even know why Scotland is part of the UK? Hardly anyone does because they're ignorant 's. If you guess correctly (without cheating on google), you'll get a virtual cookie. Anyway, Scotland gave up it's independence willingly and came running to the UK, cap in hand, begging for money because they were bankrupt from their own stupidity. We bailed you out when we could have let you all starve to death.
Since then, they have always had a massive chip on their shoulder about their resources, (which is actually the UK's resources) maybe you missed the memo, that everyone in the kingdom gives what they can and are all entitled to the same universal treatment. That is how our union is supposed to work.
In modern times, scots feel they are exempt from every other citizen in the UK and feel they should receive special treatment. Who the hell do you think you are, to demand free prescriptions when everyone else in the UK doesnt get them, to get much more money spent on children than every other child in the rest of the kingdom, to come and sit in our parliament yet whine and not allow us to come and sit in yours? Where is the equality there? You're all pathetic little grubby leeches. In fact, although leeches suck you dry just like scots, the discomfort is far less annoying than having to listen to the claptrap coming out of a scots mouth.
You're all pathetic and the SNP approach of alienating the english from the scots is working thankfully. Now maybe the english will wake up a bit. I'd be more than happy for you bunch of freeloaders to be wiped out. Stop scrounging off my country and my fellow tax payers you grubby little freeloaders. Feel free to meet me at hadrians wall and we'll brick it back up.
However in reality that wont happen. You lot will just want your own rules and taxation, while still receiving support off the UK because you're too tired and pathetic to support yourselves. Grow up!Comment

Originally posted by Platypus View PostAccording to the OP they've already paid it back, so their "fair share" of the debt will be zero. Despite all those social costs and malingerers.
They have a national debt to the UK that they havent repaid. If we demanded they started making loan payments, after adjusting for inflation, compund interest and charging a reasonable interest rate on the figure, scotlands GDP wouldnt even cover their annual interest payments, nevermind any of the capital they owe us.
Simply put, scotland can never pay back their original debt to us.

You're welcome to your 'blissful country'.
A country should never lose it's identity nor have it's identity modified to suite immigrants.
One thing thing I don't understand/like about Alex Salmond is the fact that he would invite an English queen to be the head of a new Independent Scotland, erm may I ask why. I was not sure that I was for an Independent Scotland before I heard that but now that is his intentions then I am against it. If he wants a break away then it should be complete i.e. a Republic of Scotland.Last edited by TiroFijo; 29 January 2012, 08:55.Comment

BBC News - UK Oil and gas reserves higher than thought
the tourism figure for norway is pretty doubtful though. Having been to both countries its obvious that scotlands tourism industry far exceeds anything that Norway has to offer its also pretty obvious to anyone whose been to both countries who has the best agricultural potential
then theres all scotlands lovely wind and hydro electric power
and as for entrepreneurs never heard of carnegie or duncan bannatyne ?Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
