I'd love for them to get Independence. They vote yes in September, they get their wish in 2016 but from September till their rectification date deny them EVERYTHING. The moment the vote comes through they are a foreign country, their politicians have no say in Westminster and Alex Salmond has to come down here, as smug as he wants to be, and get told the UK aren't playing ball anymore.
An independent group can come and divvy out the debt, because of course the Scottish were happy to help build it so they can take their fair share.
Cameron and his ilk can tell them were to stick their currency union with the backing of every other party.
We move all the BRITISH bits and pieces down here, we can't build subs and all that in a foreign country so relocate it (Plymouth would be a great place to look for somewhere to build them!)
Then leave them to it.
I like Scottish people on a whole, obviously a minority of idiots are found everywhere. But I'm fed up of the SNP, I'm fed up of people who already act like Scotland is already a separate entity and I'm (again coming from the West Country and not the South West) fed up of being told how hard done by they are. I believe us along with the North (well north of London, south of Scotland) get treated like saps. And no I'm not London/Scotlandphobic. In the past I've seen reports on how much gets spent on this that or the other over the UK and the West Country is always one of the lowest, Scotland is always on par with London if a little less.
I'd love for us all to get on I really would but the only way forward would be for every region to have their own say just like Scotland does. They might say their benefits like free tuition comes from juggling the money better but it still costs everyone else so that they CAN jiggle it about a bit.
I've never been left with the same feeling coming in contact with the Welsh of the Irish, with Scotland gone I think we'd be a more united Kingdom anyway.
Good Riddance! September can't come soon enough.
