It will be interesting to see how the dilemma of remaining with the mystical entitlements of being and EU member juxtapose themselves against the benefits of inclusion with a UK entitlement and support system.
What has to be considered in the cold light of facts is just how ‘self supportable’ is Scotland. Industry, gross regional ‘product’, substantive value that would prompt a bureaucratic EU dealing with the clearly disastrous potential for its most southern partners nearing collapse to consider the added perks and benefits necessary for Scotland to quit UK and go full-bore EU.....
Just my two cents. I don’t think they know what they are doing.
Would be interesting to see of all the Moslem migrants now go straight to Scotland.
To observe the joy unconfined that greets each fresh tumble in oil prices is to be present at the birth of a new parlour game. Let’s call it Banana Republic, in which the contestants vie with each other to predict the economy of which country Scotland’s would most have resembled if she had gained her independence. Amid braying and snorting and shouts of “Central African Republic” and “Malawi” the winner would be the chap who could name the most colourful-sounding poor nation that existed in his imagination. And then someone would say: “Would the last person to leave the country please turn out the light. Oscar Wilde said that.”
NB: This from the Guardian, and you know how they think.
