You have it in one there string. Independence then have your economy controlled by Brussels?!Think too that the earlier view that the EEC isn't interested in Scotland is also correct. The SNP has already been caught out saying it had been in touch with the EEC when it turned out they had lied. The EEC has also said that an indpendent Scotland would have to aplly as a new country which is what it would be.
Salmond and his groupie deputy, Nicola Sturgeon just ignore things when caught out and doggedly stick to believing they are like Moses coming down the mountain. On top of the EEC fiasco they have been told by the GB Treasury that there will be NO currency agreement. Another fact that Salmond tries to bluster and bully on. He has no plan B I just want to see the SNP lot slapped down so people must get off their backsides and vote. They are so arrogant the nationalist llot they think they are the sole holders of the St Andrew;s saltire. A while back I made a point of saying that their Yes March through Edinburgh did not have the numbers they expected and indeed a NO parade the year before had 12,00 marching through Edinburgh and more than the tartan shortbread could muscle.
Must say that jimbro does have a point in the reference to history but it is not just in Europe. There are hundreds of thousands in the ex-colonies who would love independence but their problem is they are too spread out and nothing will happen. Well in our lifetimes - after all no-one expected the Soviet Union ever to collapse. Anywa, history will always be with us no matter where we live.
Proud to be Scots - Proud to be British.
