This is all because they have to field a unified Great Britain football team for the Olympics, isn't it? :huh:

I would prefer a vote sooner rather than later. I just don't trust the SNP. All being normal the vote would certainly be for the union to continue.
After the SNP have played their games for a few years though they might just trick enough people so they can sneak through with a small majority.
I love Salmond.  They've not set the question yet.  The SNP want the third option of maximum devolution.

I'd be so annoyed if they kept on insulting England :(

I think so though.  It's basically like Canada.

Oh, so now you'll know what it's like to have snooty northern neighbors.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You don't have the moral authority to call Iowa snooty.

Hmm, looks like another William Wallace moment in the making!   :hmm:

They should really take their colony in Northern Ireland with them if they gain independence.

How much of the national debt will the hagis eaters be on the hook for?
Lord knows.  That and other practicalities would be worked out afterwards.  It doesn't really matter at the minute.


Of course it matters. Only a fool promises to buy an item without knowing its cost.

And the English should have a vote on whether to dissolve the union as well.

Good luck to them but they should have to kiss goodbye to tax support from the rest of the UK.

This has been my view for some time as well.  :bowler:

I thought that was a given even by the SNP (but of course that the SNP argues that they would gain more from North Sea oil revenues than they would lose from tax support).

Didn't someone mention the last time this topic came up that Brent is tapping out?
