Hi Caradog - sorry for delay, been up in the air. There are quite a few possible avenues to respond to your post, which makes a number of assumptions. But since this is a SMT board, let's agree that our crystal balls differ ;-)

[caradog] 30/8/2019 16:19

Spangle93. I agree it would be risky for Scotland to leave the Union and go it alone. As an independent state within the EU, however, I see no reason why a nation with a tradition of entrepreneurial adventure and engineering excellence wouldn’t do as well as similarly sized nations such as Denmark and Finland, especially as it would have the advantage of its remaining oil resources.

[spangle93] 30/8/2019 15:24

"The arguments for doing so are identical to those you put forward to justify the UK’s withdrawal from the EU."

Well, mostly but not totally. The difference is the likelihood of remaining an economically viable nation, which I can see for the UK outside EU but not Scotland outside the UK.

Just an opinion from someone north of the border who is already taxed more heavily than colleagues in England

QP's INDEPENDENCE DAY COUNT-DOWN CLOCK.

66 DAYS AND COUNTING UNTIL INDEPENDENCE DAY ON 1st. NOVEMBER.

[2torrance] 30/8/2019 12:08

galeforce1 utterly agree with you about QuePassa, not only completely off the point, which is important to a thread like this but also pompous (he uses phrases like 'proffer advice'), aggressive and so fanatical that he does not appear to have even noticed hat all the world's marketing brains are rapidly withdrawing their money from the UK and shorting the pound. Fortunately you can filter him out, as I have done and he can rant away with himself as much as he likes. Byebye QuePassa!

WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER THE FOUR QUESTIONS.

1975 was almost 45 years ago. From a loose trading partnership, the Brussels tentacles have since changed to become an all-encompassing stranglehold which stifles the UK's natural trading and commercial flair, entrepreneurship as well as traditions, including the important union with Scotland.

The Scots Referendum was not even 5 years ago.

Some Scots have a big chip on their shoulder about all that old guff of " being spoken down to from on-high by Westminster". That is just out-dated and thread-bare romantic Scots folk-lore rubbish. -55% of Scotland wanted to remain with the UK. It seems to me that Scotland does a particularly poor job of self-governing since powers were devolved from Westminster.
Only Scotland raised taxes. Just about says it all - a great injustice by those presently in power.

[caradog] 29/8/2019 13:16

The Scots have a perfect right to withdraw from a Union they decided to join. The arguments for doing so are identical to those you put forward to justify the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. They certainly feel that they are subject to greater chauvinism and condescension from London than Brussels.

Referendum results are not binding in perpetuity. After all the UK voted in a referendum to stay in the EU in 1975 and that has been reversed.

[quepassa] 29/8/2019 12:43

would you :-

1. care to say how many people elected Sturgeon after Salmond's departure.

2. care to explain why Sturgeon wants liberation from the UK but wants to remain beholden to, tethered by, dictated to, and spoken down to from on high by Brussels.

3. care to say how many Scots voted for and against in the 2014 Scots independence referendum

4. care to say why Sturgeon is not standing by and wanting to honour the democratic voice of the good Scots people who voted in 2014 be remain united with the UK


all imo. dyor.

[caradog] 29/8/2019 11:53

I think Scotland feels much the same about being liberated from a political union in which an unelected PM gets the unelected head of state to suspend the elected assembly against its will.

[epo001] 29/8/2019 11:20

Filter and ignore, people commenting on idiots are as bad as the idiots.

[galeforce1] 29/8/2019 11:19

QuePassa - what a total moron you seem to be.

Why don't you go and find some other thread full of other halfwits like yourself.
