They’re letting the mask slip too early.

>Scotland can go it alone, smaller nations do successfully, without our resources.

If you’re thinking of Singapore, as sinsofsolarempirefan stated, Singapore’s actually a financial hub that has it’s own currency. Scotland, OTOH, is part of a stable and prosperous union and already has a good deal of local autonomy as well as full parliamentary representation. In fact, it has it’s own parliament, which England doesn’t, if I’m not mistaken. If Scotland secedes, it will have no central bank, use a foreign currency over which it has no say and businesses and money are already starting to move over to England at the possiblity of independence, all because Salmond is promising a socialist welfare state using market leftl tax policies, and the thing is, it seems that quite a few Scots are buying what he’s saying at least according to sinsofsolar.
