I know you were joking, but the Falklands voted last year, with 99.8% (3 votes) voting to retain their current status.

Well maybe joking's not the right word. But redraw the world map a hundred years from now and it would look as strange to us as the world map of a hundred years ago does.

A massive ice wall 700ft high should do the trick.

'Under the present arrangement the oil tax revenues are assigned to an economic region set up by the UK government, which is called the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
This means that oil resources are not officially assigned to Scotland but instead to a region distinct from the British mainland.
But if Scotland were to become independent, and a sovereign state, it would expect the UKCS to be divided up on a "geographical" basis.'
That triangle would not be the boarder. It would follow the way of the land boarder under international law. (Or so I heard)

see them having to pay for NHS prescriptions
and hospital parking
and student tuition fees
which have all been subsidized by the English tax payers over the years.

Definitely point 3.
We don't want them all flocking down here when it all goes tits up.

The opposite might be true. If I was old and lived in the far north of England I'd definitely consider moving over the border (assuming both countries are in the EU) to get the free nursing home care and all the other things they are planning. And if I was young I'd be thinking about ways of enjoying the cut price joys of a Scottish University.
The Scottish middle classes will regard us as the New Romanians.

if they gain independance there will be thousands fleeing to the south (new refugees) so tighter border control and bigger walls would be great.
Will they have there own army? Will the Marines of 45 commando move there base from Arbroath back south?

the Scottish middle classes will be on their way south with their companies, or to avoid being taxed to the hilt to pay for Salmond's fairytale.

strong and stable with me, or...
Am I alone in not feeling any animosity toward the Scots at all - Yes or No?
I really can't blame them for wanting away from the toffs in Westminster. Can they not be independent but still within the UK - doesn't the proposals allow them independence to govern, but still retain the Queen as their head of state?
If it needs to be, lets make it an amicable break up where our marriage is over, but we stay very good friends….
Also, can we invite anyone to taken Scotland's place? What about Iceland or Belgium?

That fat jock salmon never appears on English tv again.
No more BBC TV and 5live reporting on flat-track bullies Celtic winning games or meaningless trophies.
The share of UK national debt, that they take on, being based on a per capita share out .... Salmond doesn't want that, but it's only fair.
Do not permit them to keep the £ as their currency.

I met a Scot this year on holiday who made in very clear he would be moving his businesses south in the event of a yes vote.

And immigration detention centres, machine gun nests on the wall.
Tax buckfast higher that should off set the loss of oil revenue.
Turn the diverter tap on the oil.
Let them keep just getting to the Champions League qualifiers.
Let them really stand on their own two feet, no middle ground, in or out.
