The Scotland question

[Mickswan]

Just watched the news and there banging on about Scottish Indipendance again. Are any members North of the wall, wildling, Haggis Munching heed the baaals voting yes?

[BBM]

No chance.

The SNP have no idea what will happen if they get independence and are basing out economy off of Oil Revenue. Oil Revenue has been falling on a yearly basis for a while now.

Plus Salmond is a fat wank

[D4MJT]

I think we should dig along Hadrians wall and cast them all adrift. :homme:

I also wonder how many times brave heart will be on in the coming months.

Tell me about it, I've spent the last 2 months digging a moat.

So when your kids ask you why you voted no, you'll say because salmond is a fat wank?

So narrow minded.

If you take away the oil revenue Scotland is still paying in more than it receives.

Go read some of the real government documentation and accounts on the matter and stop basing your opinions on daily mail propaganda.

Also, you do know that for the last 20+ years, the voting of Scotland in the British parliament hasn't had any effect on the voted in government? This basically means, it doesn't matter who we vote for we still get fucked by some English chosen government.

If you're really interested, I can provide sources for the above. however, I believe you won't really care.

I can see where theyre coming from in some ways. All of the decisions about stuff is always made down south to suit them. With being up north it seems as they dont care about us and scotland. Having said that it still isnt a good idea imo theres too much to consider

[MartinObviously]

I'm voting yes.

Fuck the lot of ya!

[Mickswan]

I'm voting yes.

Fuck the lot of ya!

At least you'll be voting, wonder what the turn out will be.

[chompy]

I think there will be a phenomenal turnout. Which way it will go is anyone's guess atm though

[MuZiZZle]

Will IRN-BRU go up in price?

that's all that matters

[MartinObviously]

At least you'll be voting, wonder what the turn out will be.

Haha, well you'd be stupid to not vote. You're as well making a decision I say :)

Will IRN-BRU go up in price?

Nah, not for northerners. you're close enough :hug:

[Gabbastard]

Scotland would most probably need to take out loans to fund itself the first couple of years, which would be a terrifying prospect given that it would have no status as a creditor and would probably receive a very bad credit rating. As such, any loan would be at a hideous rate. This goes for everything theyd take loans out on. And there would be a lot to do if they were going it alone.

Also, with regards to "the oil", any offshore rigs are sited under agreements with the UK, not Scotland: renegotiations would need to take place to work that out, and youre dreaming if England would just say that Scotland could have it.

Plus aye, Salmond is a fat wank.

[Scott]

I'll be voting no

[MartinObviously]

voting no is like voting tory.

[D4MJT]

voting no is like voting tory.

Are you reet young, and therefore Liberal?

[chompy]

voting no is like voting tory.

Voting no IS voting tory. They're not going anywhere.

I don't think anyone expects it to be easy/simple. Do you still live with your parents?

[Gabbastard]

Nah I own my own house. Not sure that affects if Salmond is a fat wank or not?

[sharpy24]

flol you two know how to cheer a shit nightshift up ;)

[chompy]

Why did you move out? Would you move back? Was it easy? This is relevant btw.

[MuZiZZle]

you should be the meat in our sex bap

[white_vts_boy]

Fuck Scotland.

[MuZiZZle]

Fuck Scotland.

I'd rather chisel Boro off the UK and push it into the sea than lose Scotland, other than the parmo, drugged up hookers, a former fotball manager with a sweet perm and molesting children what have you given us?

What more do you want?

[MuZiZZle]

What more do you want?

That's a fair point!

[chompy]

What more do you want?

IRN Bru, Knockhill and dirty slags :y:

[D4MJT]

IRN Bru, Knockhill and dirty slags :y:

We've got Cadwell Park, and have you not been to Newcastle :homme:

Wasnt there a purple baby at some point? Oh and all that sweet, sweet smoke.

Everywhere you go shopping in boro is like walking out the stars in your eyes door...

But seriously on the scotland question, think it was a bit cheeky of them to say they want independence and then ask to keep OUR currency... Independence means independence.

Also, someone mentioned that scotland puts in more than it gets. I'm sure thats the same for everyone in this country as a whole? Even our government doesnt pay out half as much as it should, because theyre all using it for holidays and 6 homes.

The government is a joke...

[Scott]

voting no is like voting tory.

I vote Tory already so win for me.

[D4MJT]

Don't you scotch lot still get funded uni degrees rather than loans?

[Hazmanscoop]

Yeah, forgot about that...

Stop spending the money on people going to uni!

[D4MJT]

Yeah, forgot about that...

Stop spending the money on people going to uni!

But then young Morag will have to pay back the cost of her foundation degree in Nail Technology and Shortbread Construction Techniques!!

[Hazmanscoop]

Its fine, she'd never be leaving scotland.

Tbh people have a hard enough time understanding me down south (Oxford way) and my geordie accent isnt that strong (Grew up in blyth) so theyre fucked down here.

[chompy]

I vote Tory already so win for me.

WOW. :n: didn't think anyone was that daft.

Don't you scotch lot still get funded uni degrees rather than loans?

Yup, fully funded learning. You also get a bursary and student loan to cover the costs of living whilst studying if you qualify. :y: Which the tory's tried to get rid of... :boxing:

Meh makes no ends to me, if we get independence ill take my tax paying ass south of the border then elsewhere in the world.

The Scottish Government is already as corrupt and backwards as the full UK government in England and thats without full powers.

[Gabbastard]

Why did you move out? Would you move back? Was it easy? This is relevant btw.

The price the house was offered at was too good to knock back. Cant move back as my parents have since downsized. Was pretty easy as all the financials were sorted without a hassle, moving was straightforward as I didnt have too much to take and could take it in a couple of goes with a van.

But moving house isnt relevant at all to the discussion about a country going independent, parallels can be loosely drawn between the two but are no way indicative of real world scenario.

[Manwhore]

It's a big question to ask up here , iv heard arguments for both sides, most people employed in the financial sector see it as a bad idea but the average joe seems to want it. Most scots are fed up being governed by people in London who don't have a real view into Scotland...but are we better off on our own ? Only time will tell.

thats because the average joe will be makeing a decision based on biased news stories rarther than facts just the same as most things in the media very few people really know the true/whole story.

as for being fed up with the people in charge going independant wont fix this your own leaders will be just as detached from real life as ours are.

[smiith]

I hope you go at it alone, then come crawling back in 5-10 years, we knock you back, then just take the country back off you, and make you all into slaves
