Great interview

[Graham53]

Scotland is not a member of the EU.
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and so does not have separate membership.
So VNA you are missing the point.
Spain has already stated it WILL block any attempt by an Independent Scotland to join the EU.

Well said
Just a few figures for the Scots to peruse before attempting to join the eu
2.9million eu nationals living in the U.K.
1.2million.uk nationals in Europe (27 other countries)
That's 444,444.444 to 1 all needing employment , housing , health treatment etc
181,000 of those are living in Scotland (Scottish parliament published figures from 2015)
That's 2,719,000 difference how about they all upped sticks to Scotland
Foreign born population of wales risen by 82% in 10 years , wales also voted leave , coincidence???
Let's imagine Scotland leaves uk , joins Europe , they won't get money from us under the Barnett formula which is outdated and needs reforming , ok they get oil revenue and tax receipts but what about when the oil runs out? No oil workers means less tax receipts.
What about the significant increase in eu nationals needing housing , rents will rise (supply and demand) house prices will rise, wages might decrease in real terms as foreign workers willing to accept lower wages for same work , in work and out of work benefits payments will rise, schools demand will increase  crime will increase, prison population will increase , health service demand will increase.
Yes there will be some increase in tax receipts for let's say an increase of 100,000 but most low income workers are below the tax threshold and have in work benefits as a top up so that could result in a negative in tax receipts in real terms
If you think I'm right wing you're wrong , I'm neither left or right , I also don't believe what I read in the press of either persuasion, I don't particularly like Farage but refreshingly he speaks his mind most other politicians are too afraid of losing a vote and are like sheep , I have friends that are from Europe and relatives and friends that live in Europe, I was employed a while ago and our wages were frozen because the company went to Poland and employed over a hundered workers that would work over eighty hours a week for less money than we got for forty , would you like to work those hours for less money but the poles did it because their families were not with them and they lived ten to a house to keep costs low and sent all spare money home, but according to some things like that don't happen,eu migrants don't work for less , whilst that wasn't the poles fault entirely as the company were complicit if we could regulate against it exploitation wouldn't be done
I might be talking bollocks but careful what you wish for Scotland it might come true and then you're fucked
