The thing that makes me smile about this that most English people I speak to can't wait for Scotland to be independent, most of us would positively enourage it. And yet, when an English person says, good, can't wait for it to happen, Scottish people don't see happy with that and would prefer us to be upset at the prospect.
Alex Salmond also said that they will "decided later whether or not Scotland will join the EU". Which will be quite a dilemma for all those Scottish people living and working in England who will suddenly need a visa to be able to visit England, let alone live and work here, as do other nationalities who's countries are not EU members. There isn't the hatred from ordinary English people toward the Scottish that a lot of Scottish people harbour toward the English, mainly I think because the English are not still grimly hanging on to old slights inflicted on them by people hundreds of years dead, and for which the vast majority of English people were a) not responsible for and, b) did not profit from. It's terrible a shame, our two countries have a long history where we've stood together many times. But I don't think there is anything that can be done to heal the rift now. |

Sorry for the dumb question, but they're actually calling themselves The Republic of Scotland?

I wouldn't mind Scotland becoming independant, as long as they call every now and again and don't forget about us.

All hail the Moyesiah

Salmond's looking to offer a third option on the referendum though which is basically "independence lite" where they just have maximum devolution but are still a part of the UK, even if mainly only in name, it's more likely to be popular among voters I think

I don't want the Scots to be independant for my own selfish reasons - I just simply like them being part of the UK because it makes the UK more diverse and built up. I absolutely love the Scottish, Welsh and Irish (and Manc) accents and think an accent automatically makes some people more interesting

You know my methods

we have plenty of our own self serving numpty politicians to run our own country so we dont need English ones.
Its an inevitability. We had the union foisted upon us and it is natural to now, in more civilized times, ask if we want it. we dont |

It's lacroix darling

I'm in two minds over this. One part of me thinks that its an awful thing to be parting ways with Scotland because of all the history there is between the rest of the UK and Scotland.
Then another part of me thinks that it could better finance-wise 'cause then the country wouldn't be responsible for HBOS and all that. Idk I'm not that clued up on it all really.
