    One question I've not seen answered is will an independent Scotland gain automatically membership of the EU or will they have to apply?
    I expect that the rest of the UK will demand a reduction in our contribution to the EU so the boys in Brussels will expect Scotland to become a net contributor. Of course that's assuming someone doesn't veto their entry.

        I wonder whether Alex Salmond is secretly English?



        He looks like John Higgins to me, although both are allegedly Scottish.

            A country should never lose it's identity nor have it's identity modified to suite immigrants.
            You're obviously not familiar with English history, are you?

            We're all mongrels (except for one or 2 celts in Cornwall...)

                There was no such thing / race as 'The Celts'. It's a completely made up construct.

                  So a lot like "The English" then?
