You know some of your comments remind of about ten years ago or so when Gordon Brown congratulated Montenegro on its independence and stated that he saw no reason why they could not become a successful independent nation.
Yet the same Gordon Brown, like some of you here, say Scotland is a basket case. It’s somewhat arrogant and just a little pathetic.
As for oil and gas, economies need to break away from oil and gas. Germany already has a bill to ban the sale of fossil fuelled cars by 2030.
In any case I’m not interested in whether Scotland would be richer or poorer post-independence. I mean the UK is one of the richest countries in the world but it’s pretty fucked up. The US is even richer again, but it’s even more fucked up.
Because all that stuff I’ve listed, we never voted for it and we never wanted it. There is a huge rift politically between England and Scotland, we’ve grown apart.
RBS is a London based bank. The Tory ideal of self-regulation worked well – eh? And why was it bailed it out. Capitalism dictates the survival of the fittest, if your business is sick and you don’t fix it, it goes under - simple - except...... Bailing out the banks was just another example of what I call the new socialism – it’s the socialism for the rich.
No I understood your question and I think I answered it clearly.

Quote:Agreed - but only Greece without the nice weather, oh but first scotland should pay us back the money we spent on bailing out RBS
