England isn't the UK. Most of the reserves are off the coast of Scotland.

well sir ALL the "uk" offshore reserves are in Scottish waters.
in 199 when that tony bliar devloved the Scottish parliament(and how they wish they didn't now..LOL)
he also snatched 6,000 square miles of Scottish territorial waters in the north sea! See here for map with old and nw territorial lines
Here is what is called the "statutory instrument" that did it
and http://www.oilofscotland.org/scotlands_stolen_sea.html is the site to check out about the whole story.....
when you sail Easy from St Andrews which is in Fife and go out 12 miles , somehow you are then in english waters now.. it's fucking insanity...

The politics of the SNP government in Edinburgh have been distinct for quite some time. Not a peep comes from Alex Salmond's lips without some underhand comment about Westminster being to blame or holding us back. The task in the UK is to balance the budget. Scotland as an independent nation would never have been able to bale out the banks - regardless of what ideas you peddle as the "truth".

Aye said like a true quisling that actually hasn't read the genuine facts of the case.. http://www.oilofscotland.org/ go on actually take a look!

he financial "shit" in Scotland can easily be traced back to our two big banks fighting it out to take over NatWest.

erm.. no it can be traced back to that walking turd gordon brown and his perpetual deregulation of the banking system... twinned with similar madness accross the Atlantic with bush's deregulation of their banking system and the trade in toxic assets amongst many other factors, and btw we have more than 3 banks here, the Clydesdale also has a charter to mint/print as well....

but to try and pin the financial crisis on England is simply ridiculous.

who said anything about blaming the english or england??? the fault lies in westminster.. you presume too much sir.

We are stronger as a whole. I'm British, Scottish and Aberdonian. Don't bother questioning my loyalty to any of those. But perhaps because I live and work outside Scotland gives me a broader outlook.

nd yeah i would question loyalty to Scotland most certainly....especially as how you live and work outside it. I am 41, and have lived and worked outside Scotland however only about 40% of the time each year and i ALWAYS come back home, so yeah i would question it entirely...
I am Scottish NOT british with absolutely no compromise on that and come 2014 we will see how wrong you are .. mind you.. you are not even here to see how the wind blows politically at ground level.

As a nation, we seem to pick England as the enemy for anything we choose.

well you got one but right.. we ARE a nation however there is a difference between England and westminster you know. i happen to be a civi nationalist as are the SNP so it's not about hating anyone it's about wanting the best for your country and in this instance this means independence first ad foremost.. hence the upcoming referendum.

but to try and pin the financial crisis on England is simply ridiculous.

and btw if you read the big lie by Niall Aslen who is a forensic accountant and by far more qualified than either me or you to comment you might just see the facts... he clearly demonstrates how Scotland is fucked over by westminster. also Scotland natural resources are FAR from just the North sea West of Shetland AND Rockall immediately spring to mind
And when independence comes we'll also have the 6000square miles of our territorial water back thanks
i'd take a long hard loo at your ex-pat self before opening your mouth and letting your belly rumble again.. check that ACTUAL FACTS first

Last I checked, independence had support of about 20% of the Scottish population. Seems quite unlikely that the majority will vote for independence. Given that Scotland gets a lot of money from the rest of Britain, only balanced out by North Sea oil, which is running out, I wouldn't be surprised if it had a lot more support in England than Scotland.

Personally, I'd like to see independence for Greater London. The rest of us would be a lot better off without it.

well 69 seats and a whopping historic landslide victory at the last elections kinda takes a huge dump on your 20% number.

we'll see when 2014 comes along And as for north Sea oil running out... sorry but that's crap.. take a look at http://www.oilofscotland.org/ for some simple truths on that.. also have have massive reserves off the west coast and have a large stake on the Rockall claim.. so erm.. kinda blows yer paltry arguments out the water.
oh and as for your poll... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1535193/Britain-wants-UK-break-up-poll-shows.html
also remember that those morons at the telegraphs said that in 2009 support for the sNP and independence was at an all time low..... then they win an hostoric election victory against the odds of the single transferable voting system that was specifically designed so that no single party had a majority?

sorry but your just plain wrong.....

chrisq.. keep on believing that delusion..lol
Scotland when taken as separate from the UK is actually in surplus you muppet

Scotland contributes more than DOUBLE what it gets back from the union.. some fucking union dividend eh?

i think you'll fidn tat per capita london gets most spent on it, followed by northern Ireland followed by Scotland.

mind you westminster takes ALL OUR OIL AND GAS REVENUE and we get a pittance back.

the money that whisky sales generate is also quite astonishing and contrary to popular belief most of it goes to export.

I would hazard a guess Andrew Hughes Hallet knows more about economics that you in your blissful ignorance

Then there's the McCrone report which was done and kept secret as it showed that Scotland would be "embarrassingly in surplus if independent with one of the strongest currencies in Europe"

there is much more besides however i would imagine a lazy tool such as yourself would rather live in that blissful ignorance you seem to be so fond of, as many south of the border are.

Also a lot of the oil in OUR territorial waters are marked as "extra regio territories" to mask the actual oil income as "not Scottish"..

have a look at oilofscotland.org and maybe you might learn something about teh fact SCOTLAND IS IN SURPLUS and t's the "uk2 that's dragging us into financial shit.. plain simple fact.. however you would rather just call us "porridge wogs" which just futher demostrates how truly ignorance you are .. sad wee Sasainach eh?

Saora no Bas!
