Three things you would like to see happen if Scotland vote Yes





1. They open up Scottish citizenship to folk like me with Scottish ancestors.

2. They take proper control of health care and run it in accordance with the principles that the NHS was established with.

3. They support the role of local authorities to run proper local services, rather than contribute "savings" to a pot that only benefits the bankers.

1. Unveil that secret horde of several trillion barrels of onshore oil in the far north of the mainland where nobody lives
2. Continue to redistribute the wealth more fairly among the populace as a whole
3. Rebuild Hadrian's Wall, only much higher and much better defended

The arse end of Hangleton
1. England, Wales & NI ban haggis
2. Fracking stations built all along the English side of the boarder and we dig long under ground holes so we're really fracking in Scotland
3. A ceremonial burning of Scottish bank notes in London

This is an interesting one.

Scotland already spends more per head on health care than we do. I think it's £2,100 v £1,900. Yet life expectancy is much lower in Scotland than in England:

It doesn't seem to me that the extra spending is delivering value for money in Scotland, does it?

1. Send all Scots back home and make them apply for a visa and work permit to enter England
2. Bring all non Scot companies back to England like tax offices.
3. Withdraw anything that is funded by the UK goverment or taxes.

If they want to be independant let them really be so in every aspect.

That the Scottish pay for the divorce as they are the ones who will have voted for it.
The Isle of Islay residents vote for independence from Scotland (and to keep the revenue from malt whisky)
The Isle of Rockall residents vote for independence from Scotland (and to keep the oil revenue)

Said it before, say it again, give us back the oil revenue and we'll call it quits :thumbsup:
 










Scottish MP's marched out of Westminster at gunpoint and driven to the border and deposited there, immediately. They will be effectively spying if allowed to stay.
A real border crossing point in.
Anthony Gormley to be commissioned to make a new statue, along these lines.

How is the oil revenue theirs, since when did they own the North Sea?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-20042070

'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.'

Remove all coverage of Scottish sports from English TV and Radio.
Welcome all Scottish companies who want to move their HQs into England, as then its pumping more money into the English economy.
Remove all Scottish people from England by the end of 2015, which would of course also sort out the homeless problems.
