Suits us. We'll take our free university places, free prescriptions, no bedroom tax and the UK's fishing and oil stocks with us aswell.
I'll let you get back to reading your Daily Mail now...
Oil stocks when moving to a carbon net neutral country. 21 years to achieve that aim.I'll let you get back to reading your Daily Mail now...
How do you go carbon net neutral while digging up fossil fuels?
Uni places aren’t free. The fee is paid for by the government and by the tax payer. That money for the fee means other areas go without.

As well as the UK debts...
Naw, they are going to threaten to walk away from them if they don't get a good deal.Sound familiar?
Thought not.
A share of debt will only be fair when attributed to a a fair share of assets.

Apologies. I thought you were talking about something recent and relevant. 
Time hasn't altered the issue 'burger.Is this how Nationalists think - we've talked about but reached no resolution, so we don't want to hear it any more?
Edinburger said:
Not sure I agree with you there. I recently read an article about NE England independence or fiscal autonomy.
Was it this one? The one where it explains they had a referendum about getting more autonomy and they rejected it out of hand?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_North_East_Engl...
I know you love a good referendum but the rest of us are f
king fed up that nobody is listening to the answers.Edinburger said:

You said source ? Thought not to another poster. I verified it had been on TV countless times then you answered something different.
But as you say pro rats share of assets is fair - hopefully you mean of Wales N Ireland England & SCOTLAND not just Scotland taking a share away from everyone else that wouldn’t be fair so we’re agreed

As said many times, if Scotland wants independence, simply give England the vote. They'd be out on their ear in no time. Sick of that little Sturgeon bint. Go, take their guts-wrapped-in-guts haggis, Irn-bru, low life expectancy, unintelligible speech, deep fried everything, and general over-arching Nesbitt tendencies and just go. Please.
That’s nice. Anecdotally, I know an awful lot in England that would have voted for Scotland to leave in 2014
Maybe it was a trick the Nats missed ?

Who needs oil when you have enough wind power to supply a third of mainland Europe?
It’s a shame the SNP has not set up a state run wind farm in the Scottish seas capturing this power in the last 10 years they have been in full power of the hollyrwd discussion room. But no they have not invested in a certain bridge leaving it out of action and vast detours, over spent trams (I like trams but hey when rUK pay the overspend meh who cares) railway line I like that genuinely Edinburger said:

Sbarkley maybe since he brought it up.
Now that’s one of the Whitelee windmills, picture taken on the 28th July as I was there with work.
That’s a big windmill, but only 1000 homes max, assuming it turns 24/7/365 which is a big ask as the wind doesn’t blow 24/7/365.
It’s also rather ugly and at 36 stories, rather tall.
So to power your claim, you are going to have to erect quite a lot of them.

We’ve one in Reading - it does turn quite a lot no idea how much it should generate vs it’s actual output. However when the wind is too strong it’s shut down. Scottish North Sea waters mid winter have some cracking frequent storms how will they work?
Also servicing of them how many people.
Als phos much would 525,000 of them cost and time to erect (giggle).

Burger has misquoted Salmond.
Scottish waters have the potential to power 1/3rd of Europe with wind power.
But there are problems.
Every other country has wind.
Scotland doesn’t have the windmills or the infrastructure to deliver.
Wind is not always there.
Spain Portugal Norway Ireland rUK all have plenty of offshore wind generating options too Scottish waters have the potential to power 1/3rd of Europe with wind power.

Voted NO in last referendum.
Won't vote in the next one.
Reason: Couldn't give a fk anymore.
If serious I can share some contact details of charities who might be able to help you in your condition. It’s horrible being there not being able to see the light but sometimes they can help and get you back on your feet. Your welfare is important you are important don’t forget that. Won't vote in the next one.
Reason: Couldn't give a f
k anymore. Life goes on but those thoughts of potentially ending it sooner than fate has it planned for you isn’t the best solution for anyone.
PM me I you want a chat.
k whether Scotland remains in or separates from rUK as 'a condition'? Welshbeef said:
