So tell me where is Scotland getting the money from? who is footing the bill?

Greg! 14-03-2017 08:19 PM

Um the same way any other country on Earth "gets the money from". All of our taxes would stay in Scotland as well rather than get spread around the UK

Denver 14-03-2017 08:20 PM

Taxes wont cover the costs unless they go sky high

Denver 14-03-2017 08:20 PM

Most other countries have things to sell/trade

Adam do you think that Scotland literally has no products or resources or food or drink or anything whatsoever? I'm not going to sit here and list things that exist In Scotland that can be bought or sold bc I'd be here all day.

I am an outsider and have never been to the UK so maybe my opinion may be a little less biased than others but let me say this:
I am impressed with the tolerance demonstrated by the English for having to put up with Scotland's nationalistic (europeanistic?) impulses. They are trying to make an unstable situation even more unstable and they can't seem to wait a few years to let the dust settle before doing this.

Spain and France have both said in the past they would veto Scotland.

I think not many people really care that much.Only the politicians.

I think the tide might be turning on that one, The UK as a whole upheld the right of the Scottish people and supported their right to vote once on the issue, but to turn around 2.5 years later and demand a second referendum at a time when The PM will be tying up the Brexit process and won't have time to devote to a campaign to keep the union together is pretty staggeringly selfish on the SNPs behalf, I get that they want the best deal for Scotland yadda yadda but what about their fellow country men/women? What about the Scots that voted for Brexit she is piling division on division and I hope she gets slapped down very soon.

She gives priority to her personal opinions rather than that of her countrymen in my opinion. Neither like her or trust her. She is just another ambitious politician.

When? Give an example of any time that a member of the government for Spain or France said they'd block Scotland entering the EU.
