Didn't know Pakistan played rugby. Must have been a boring game with just three points scored.

Back to Independence

I have a solution: -

Those in Scotland who wish to have "Independence" abide by Scottish law and Scottish Government.

Those in Scotland who wish to remain part of the UK abide by UK law follow UK Government/ law etc.

Easy. Anyone see any problems?

Scotland in surplus

North Sea oil gave Scotland 'massive' budget surplus, say Government records - Telegraph

If the torygraph is accurate, the jocks will be able to give Buckie away on street corners.

Having been thoroughly rubbished by Salmond fans because I'm English it now appears that I am totally entitled to debate this subject

Doncaster 'is part of Scotland' after 900-year-old administrative error comes to light - Yahoo!

And I still don't reckon that "we" should pull out of the Union

Salmond is always banging on about "Scotlands oil". Will he want to grab a share of any found around the Falklands?

Yep,

After all the English have grabbed all the Scottish oil, and wasted the monies on lots of things.

Yes, you're right. The UK has been using the UK's oil and spending a lot of the money on Scotland.

Absolutely spot on and as the oil is currently a UK asset should Scotland want a divorce then all the shared assets should be on the table

Perhaps seldom, but the bargaining table is becoming heavily loaded due to the expanding atomic contamination discoveries both in the North and East of the country.

Just imagine the wailing if it had been found below watford say.....

As I suspected, it looks like Scottish regiments are going to get hit hard by more defence cuts.

REGIMENTAL CRISIS

SCOTLAND’S most famous regiments, including the Black Watch, Coldstream Guards and Scots Guards, are facing the axe under the latest Army reorganisation.
I guess it was obvious really as cutting them now avoids any difficult questions if Scotland votes for independance.

Is it not just possible that the reason these Battalions (rather than Regiments) are being considered for the next round of cuts because they are under strength, just like the article says, as oppose to any resignation on the part of the Government to the possbility of Scottish Independence and an attempt to make the formation of an Independent Scottish Force all the more of a problem?
