Scotland's decision

[tiger31]

Most companies who do companies with the EU would have to move south to continue doing so. It will take about a decade for Scotland to qualify to join the EU.

They may qualify but Spain has gone on record as saying they won,t acccept Scotland joining and they have a veto,so it will get very interesting for Salmond

[Michael Parnham]

HRH has given her opinion now, so watch this space!

Being kicked out the EU might not all be bad for Scotland you know. In many small communities, the fishing fleet was decimated due to EU regulations, and with all those islands (Including Rockall?), they'd control a colossal tract of sea.

Course, Salmond always wanted an independent Scotland to join the EU - hoping they'd get huge subsidies like Ireland used to do, however that's all dried up and that gravy train hit the buffers years ago.

A separate Panelbase poll for Yes Scotland, which had its groundwork take place between September 2 and 6, showed No leading 52% to 48% when undecided voters were excluded.

The fishing fleet wasn't decimated by the EU, the fishing fleets decimated the stock.

Also a lot of the quotas given to British fishermen ended up in Spanish hands when they sold out for the money.

There are fors and againsts Arthur. I have seen the debates and they were interesting. Its up to you my friend and the other Scottish people to decide.

Oh, , Andy ... there are, indeed, pros and cons - in the longer term - but it's the latter that is the BIG WORRY, because I fear Scots are being lulled (conned!) into a sense of false security by promises that NO newly-elected purely Scottish Government (of whatever political persuasion!) can possibly DELIVER without the necessary financial resources becoming available through higher taxation from the outset.

Scotland: ‘Yes’ blitzkrieg wipes out ‘No’ lead

In the past four weeks support for the union has drained away at an astonishing rate. The Yes campaign has not just invaded No territory; it has launched a blitzkrieg

I'm getting beside myself with worry.

If Scotland vote for independence Britain won't have a curling team at the next winter Olympics.

It's a tricky one, Scotland may not have another chance like this.

... that's true!

... as well you might, Fred ... as:

Goodbye would most likely mean a permanent wave ... a "hair~raising" (as well as a straightforward hand~waving ) gesture ... so it's extremely doubtful the (by then former) British curling team would be too happy about that!

Ach ...

Since it seems my 'little''s
Again been "lost" on a' you folks,
Thought I'd simply pass the time
Composing yet another rhyme!

So Scotland wants to be independent and yet one of the first things they want to do is to reapply to be a member of the EU so that it can be governed from Brussels!!

Shetland and Orkney Isles will have the option to opt out, so what happens then? They are still British, and so is the oil?

[grahamw48]

What a total cock-up.

8% of the UK population in Scotland.

9%+ of UK budget currently spent on them.

Two of their banks bailed out by the BRITISH taxpayers.

An energy industry set up by BRITISH taxpayers.

The Yes voters are absolute fools, they've already got the best of both.
