    FTFY

    <Ecosse remainer> Yes but if Scotland Ecosse decide to leave us we of course will no longer allow you to trade with you on current terms. You will be forced to grovel & obey our rules like any other country that has the audacity to leave the EU UK. Your economy will be reduced to what you can make out of deep fried mars bars & Scooter's toilet trading if he ever decides to pay tax on it. It is in the best interests of the EU UK.

    No one will make cars there any more - oh wait.

    Financial services will all move to Bognor as we won't allow your filthy derivatives near our existing clean financial systems.

    You are obviously a bunch of racist simpletons.

    </Ecosse remainer>

    There you go!

    He'd rather Scotland leave their largest trading partner for one they do less business with, plus he obviously doesn't understand that it will take a few years before things change in reality. The pound drops x% and the trade deficit widens could it be to do with the fact that more now needs to be spent to buy the same amount as previously? Obviously it's a bit hard for Scooter to comprehend

    I suppose the upside is tally sticks are not fiat money.

    Not helped by our increasing net loss as part of the EU.
