How does Scottish Independence affect the rest of the Union?

[SocketRocket]

We get 700,000 migrants from Scotland if YES - if you believe a poll of a few weeks ago - where we gonna stick them?

Dartmoor.

I do find Salmond's stance regarding using the Pound in an Independent Scotland a bit confusing. The Stock comment is that "It's Scotland's Pound" Surely thats only the case when they are in 'The Club' i.e. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Once Scotland divorces it's self from the Union then the Pound can no longer be theirs!

Quite true Foxy. But would you then act as guarantor for loans etc. Splitting the family silverware is one thing but still having a joint account is...

Interesting micro fact.

Three houses in our village went up for sale last month, all sold quickly [obviously getting asking price and above].
Two sold to English families.

Not sure the relevance or where the interesting part is ?

Good point. Though I've seen something quite close done.

And certainly 'parental' bank of last resort concept exists, along with other 'family' analogies.

There are even cases where 'justice' is sought after one party has lied about value of assets!

Don't worry LP, neither does Doon!

I thought the sky was going to fall in and we were all going to die if we voted Yes.

Our village is an obviously attractive place to live for some English peoples.

70,000 Scots move out, 70,000 English buy their houses.

So two people buy a house in your village and you come to that conclusion ?

Again I still see don't see the relevance or the interesting part

It's meaningless

Probably, I think most of the English and Welsh living in Scotland do. Well at least the ones I know, why do you think they moved here in the first place:lol:.

no idea, and I'll wager you don't know either........or care.

As for your (continuing) sweeping statements...............

Totally off topic here, but I've just realised that your forum name is Doon frae Troon.

For as long as I've been reading it I've always read it as Doon frae Toon, as in "down from town".

I did warn that it was totally off topic, but a post to alleviate the heated debate nonetheless.

I couldn't give a stuff!
What will happen, will happen.
I have very limited interest in it because I don't get a say.

Not giving a stuff plays into the hands of the YES campaign as it signifies that the English don't care about Scotland - and that is one factor as to why we are where we are today. Too many English just don't give a stuff.

What is the point of me caring about a vote I can't be part of?
It's not that I don't give a stuff about Scotland, I just don't give a stuff about Thursday's vote.
Things would be different if ALL UK residents got a vote as to whether Scotland, (or anyone else), could or should leave the Union.
