I am Edinburgh born, and there is no way i would allow a fat menance Alex Salmond who is only doing this for his own selfish interests not out of logic to deny me my birth right of being British and inconvenience my life to the max and create more barriers.

Where u gonna buy your military from with a non existent economy, and non existent export trade?

The world now is about breaking borders down not creating them , partition the uk?.id rather trust London more than Brussels

@joe37959 Actually, no. The Union of the Crowns happened because the King of Scots became the King of England, as well (it wasn't the other way around). James VI of Scotland became James I of England when his cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, died. The English and Scottish Parliaments were united with the Act of Union about a century later, in which England and Scotland were, constitutionally, equal partners. England did not conquer Scotland.

I have lived 50 years in Scotland , never once thought I was enslaved or living anywhere other than a free country . For me if people want to be "Free " as thye SNP say , why bother with Oil revenues etc Surely Freedom is price less and there is no need for the Higher living standards argument ?

It does not bother me that Oil wealth goes to help those on Benefits in Liverpool of wherever in the UK , its good to help others out .

Christ the Scottish victim mentality is unbearable.

Scotland did pretty ok out of the Union. You Scots will rue the day you leave it especially when Westminster starts to turn the tap off. You will find all those luvvvly services begin to go up in price until their just a memory for ordinary people. But bang your drums for independance and jig your jigs. Its the old and the poor that will pay for it.

@joe37959 England did not conquer Scotland. There was a union of the crowns--under a SCOTTISH king, by the way--in 1603. A voluntary union of the parliaments came in 1707. That's what's to be undone, returning Great Britain to the 1603 arrangement of two separate countries sharing the same monarch. This is not absurd--it's the exact same relationship countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Jamaica currently have with regard to the UK, and each other.

Why would Scotland cease to be part of the UK energy grid just because it became independent anyway? Canada and the United States are independent of one another, but power flows back and forth across their border as required as though it weren't even there.
