Wasn't there a big naval battle there, in WWII?

They've still got Chatham Dockyard more used for filming locations and any lost tourists now. Oh and they have an old castle in Rochester, and a Cathedral, the latter town probably being the only town worth visiting in Medway.

I used to drink in The Rochester Castle in Stoke Newington, back in the day.

Currency is nonsense we will have money as all countries do. What is nonsense is hoping the unionist will Co operate . We can set our currency very easily it's not hard.

well that needs setting out as last time you wanted to continue using the Pound .
I'm not sure financial experts are quite as nonchalant about the ease of setting up a brand new currency .

Rochester has a car park system where you don't even need to use a parking app, any residents can just register their vehicle and it auto takes the money everytime you drive in or out of their car parks, without you having to do anything. Not that I would drive into Rochester town centre these days, fook that.

You posted before currency is nonsense bro

I wouldn't be throwing shade from that high horse if I was you <laugh>

What would happen to peoples savings, pensions and the rest if Scotland lost the pound, had to have its own currency and start trading with it?

People could realistically lose a tremendous amount of money.

That's utter bollocks
 
Surely Scotland will just use the pound when they become independent? Would be crazy to do anything else right at the outset imo.

It's up to the bank of England.

The Scottish retail banks only issues "Scottish notes" based on how many Bank of England notes and coins they hold in reserve.

After the break up of Czechoslovakia, the Slovak koruna was 30% weaker than that of the Czech one.

All the examples Spurf gave, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, all have independent currencies and they're all weak. It's 13 NOK to 1 pound sterling.

well 2 obvious things
1. They wouldn't have control of one of the main financial ;levers England would
2. We would be affected by their financial decisions so why would we agree

As a member of the SNP I can say that the membership by and large is more radical than the leadership. Most of the SNP membership is pretty left wing as is Scotland. As you say the common bond is Independence and the membership accept that we need to appeal to as wide an electorate as possible. The SNP is a vehicle for Independence. Once Independent then all the parties here would change and who knows who would get elected except that it would probably be left of centre. Nicola Sturgeon is hugely popular and is not suspected by the SNP members of any crime despite the media. The media is toxic to the SNP. BBC Scotland is a state propaganda machine and nothing more. Westminster is desperate to stop Independence and they will continue to do everything they can to stop it happening. It won't work, in the end Scotland will be an Independent country. The young people poll at 70% in favour of Independence.

You forgot to mention that most of the SNP membership is also racist against the English.
