. All I see is for all the money that comes into the UK, the majority of it gets spent in the South East.

.

That is because we earn it

I seriously thought you meant serious tulip like killing each other in the streets and what not.

well, thats always an option

Dude, I'm a contractor whose rate fluctuates around the 6-7 hundred pound a day mark and you're asking if I'd be bothered paying an extra £400 annually?

I think I'm the wrong target audience for your question.

thats what I was interested in.
'Independance, irrespective of energy policy.'

I would probably feel the same way if I wanted independance

This thread is about windmills, you know what I meant.
If Salmond has a wonky energy strategy that will put £400 on the average leckky bill, but can still guarantee independance
is that a price worth paying ?

What's any cost dude? I'm not some rabid Scotsman wanting to plant bombs under Whitehall. No-one in the SNP is. Independence to me is Scotland gaining fiscal responsibility for itself. All I see is for all the money that comes into the UK, the majority of it gets spent in the South East.

I'd be happy keeping the Queen, keeping the nukes, sitting together within NATO, etc. I'm also wise enough to realise that the UK is more or less a spent force. It's US nukes that kept us at the big boys table all these years and that's going to change. You can already see the issues with the Replacement of Trident discussions. The next 15 years is going to be quite an eye opener for us, UK or no UK.

It seems to have right pissed you off when I asked why you are so verbally supportive of the SNP when you don't live here and don't vote here.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest lad. It's an Internet forum and I switch the computer off t the end of the day. 1 point though, I do vote in Scotland, you keep missing that point. That's where I'm on the electoral register and I'm registered to vote through the post.

I know all the words to about 10 Lady Gaga songs despite thinking they are terrible.

Sounds like a William Hague assertion that. 10 pints before lunch and still able to do a milk round oooh aaaar lad.

Enough of this silliness.

What about the 100% target?

Couldn't care less about the sound bite politics. Independence is what I vote SNP for.

[EternalOptimist]

I'd go for 110% if I were him.

It's just as achievable.

Many a true word spoken in Jest Zeity, many a true word.

If you read the article that mine links to, Salmond claims that by 2020 Scotland will be producing 200% of its energy needs, half of which will be from renewables.
They will use half and flog the rest abroad

he made this claim in May last year afaics

Why do you know them? I find that odd.

[minestrone]

And you're a liar if (a) you're denying that you have always argued the party tunes at Parkhead were Political and not Sectarian and (b) you deny stating that you knew all the words to the aforementioned party tunes and quite happily sing them.

To get level you are going after me claiming I know lyrics to songs that are on a subject that I have said I have completely no interest in.

Enough of this silliness.

You just make tulip up.
