Scottish Welfare state would be as open for abuse as the current UK one
the question should be....just what will the miltant scots moan aboot when they do get independance.?
tbh to my mind your constant diatribe remind me of woolfy in citizen smith....make a life out of protesting ...what would yer life be like if ye had noothing ta moan aboot !
As an Englishman living in Scotland I really couldn't give a toss which way Scotland goes.
If Scotland does split, I Definitely think they need to sort their own currency out.
Don't want Scotland becoming to the pound, what Greece is to the Euro.
Border control...we have a welcome to Scotland sign...our welfare state will put up another sign which says 'I wouldn't bother' in a number of non English languages.
Scotland is already pretty much 'power independent' and grid useage tends to be propped up by France overnight...hey we can run an extension lead over to Norway
Examples are:
Border control is the obvious one - with different Governments it will become an issue.
Armed forces,
air traffic control,
utilities and infrastructure (national rail? The separation committee would draw lots to see who gets encumbered!),
Sea boundaries,
international territory boundaries,
all the organisations across the world that will need to change their systems to recognise a new country.
Don't want to be inflammatory here but how many other countries do you think will want to trade with an independent Scotland that only has self interests at heart and won't help with international peace keeping?
In a word ...No. I think Scotland enriches Britain massively. I'll be sorry to see you all leave.
Nah we may become part of Europe but they can keep their Euro...Being part of Europe is inevitable. The pound is preferable today, but it might be the Euro tomorrow. Europe has a lot of lessons to learn. And if Europe is going to continue it's neoliberal capitalist love affair, then Scottish economic experts and politicians better make sure their rose tinted specs have been well and truly binned, as Scotland will have to fight for concession after concession and in completely the opposite direction from which England is doing so.
to me ya can have scotland (as long as you dont want our british tax money ) cant stand the place,
If the English hadn't allowed you Scots unfettered indulgence in the fruits of that domain you woukdn't be half the nation you are. I think the North Sea Oil is a fair return for that bountiful privilege.

I'm against devolution - primarily because it just seems to be an excise in getting more civil servants jobs.
Good luck with that. Make sure it's a good quality tap & I hope you got a spanner or something small enough to fit the end. You can hardly get on it for cylinders 1 & 4. Not the nicest job I got to say.
