Osborne Speech on Scotland Independance

[shaunbhoy]

Not quite

Err yes. Quite....Accepted in lieu of a dowry that was never paid. Fair swap IMHO

Orkney and Shetland Islands

[doodab]

You've never been there, have you?

You were bred there I assume.

[shaunbhoy]

You were bred there I assume.

Oh no. But I had the misfortune of spending a couple of years up there in the mid 80s. Not for the faint hearted. The fact that they could not organise a bus timetable leads me to the inescapable certainty that ruling themselves will forever be out of the question.
Good job they have Scotland acting as a mother ship.

Good job they have Scotland acting as a sinking ship.

FTFY

I just did the toilet, do you think the jobay will want independence from Scotland?

I would have thought it would be at home in Scotland?

*sorry, I could not resist*

[Mich the Tester]

Please do explain why this is, as I can't see a reason, and neither can the many island nations of the world. With their share of the oil they could be a mini Bahrain (actually, think they might be bigger)

Singapore anyone?

[Mich the Tester]

There is no process. They simply have to accept Scotland's majority vote.

Well that's solved it then. Scotland can become independent if and when a UK majority votes for it.

Too late, Cameron already signed the Edinburgh Agreement, I don't think Scotland would be stupid enough to sign a similar one with the Islands.

But the SNP have already acknowledged the rights off the islands to opt out.

This Scottish independence scheme is going to be real comedy at this rate.
