Rather than waste the money on such things as legally arguing for an independant Scotland & making solicitors etc wealthy
Lets ignore the" Bray Fart " noises and tell them that Mel Gibson really is an actor & Wallace actually was a crook .
Why not give it to them for free ASAP , of course they will have to fund their own NHS, benefits and raise taxes but look at the advantage to N. Ireland , England & Wales .. No MOD bases , No scottish soldiers , no benefits , grants . No longer having to finance their bridges and ferries & bringing the UK government office systems back into the UK IE . Cumbernauld .
Cut the power grid & let them build their own systems . There is enough wind blowing around up there in Hollyrood house for zillions of wind generators .
No Scots in the UK's government blethering away , no Scottish expense claims and no flats /second homes etc etc.
No Scotish trade union supported MP's who have little or no business experience or common sense .
Of course when the Scots people come South to the UK charge them an access /passport fee and road useage premium . Let them provide their own air control systems & build a decent airport .
We could have a special tax rate on their stuff called whiskey as its only distilled twice and rather inferior to the Welsh stuff or that single malt whisky from the Bushmills distillery , which is distilled three times and is the nectar of the gods.
Re :- North Sea Oil give em all a spade and let them go and dig it up anywhere in their 200 mile limit .
Of course like the Welsh , England could charge all to enter the country as at the latest Severn toll bridge .
Think how much it would cost the Scots to have dual language road signs & markings then having to teach the people how to read them .
Then we have all quango & governmental documents in dual languages costing zillions more .
They'd also have to withdraw from the UK parliament and start their own hen house and governmenal systems etc.
All in all I'd say it just might bankrupt the Scots just like the Scottish Chancellor did to France all those years ago.
Seriously though .
All joking aside there are some points in what I've said ................. I think it would be financial suicide for most Scottish people & they have a hard enough life as it is , they don't need more crap in their lives.
But if they want to go their own way ,they get my blessing so long as it does not cost me any more dosh .
It does seem to me that a bunch of s**t stirrers are going to hoodwink the population and empire build at their expense .
I say this sadly , l bet the excellent Scottish education system suffers because of it if independence rules..
The comment about 10 % of population being taken off the UK's £££ count .. What is the UK's spend on Scotland against what Scotland puts back in the pot of the UK ? I suspect it is a neat one way journey from London.
