    OK :D

    We are the United Kingdom of Great Britain, one nation. Not perfect by any means (Welsh) but one nation none the less. How will anyone benefit by breaking up this nation? Do Scots really believe there's some crock of gold to be found separating? Maybe 10 years ago when they could have joined the EU as an independent nation and reaped rich cash rewards but now the EU is broke. And why do so many infer that Scotland is ruled by England? Total bollocks, if anything on a pro rata basis based on seats in Westminster we English are ruled by the Scots but do we want independance ? Not really. Being a United Kingdom we have stood our own on the world stage for hundreds of years and you ****s want to break all that up on a whim.

    Why must the passion of some Scots be concidered a whim?

    Let us suppose the SNP get their way and it is enough of a Yes vote to allow the Scots to become independent.

    Does the Union Flag have to be replaced with one that does not include blue?
    Can we still be called Great Britain?
    Can we still be called the United Kingdom?
    As Scotland would be outside GB/UK it would have to apply to the EU for recognition/membership. In the meantime would that make all Scots foreigners as far as England is concerned? Would you have to have a passport to cross the border?
    Will Scotland have its own armed forces?
    Will a Yes vote mean all the Scots MPs in England have to sod off back up north?
    Will all the Scottish Tories in safe English seats be told to chance their arm back in the old country?
    When it all goes tits up and they want to come back how will the apology be worded?
    Do the Scots think that anyone south of the border really gives a flying feck other than in comedic terms?

    If Salmond doesn't win the vote will he step down? That would be a 'no' then.

    Because some are so ****ing blinkered.The fat SNP **** is even getting 16 year olds on the electoral register. Easy meat to persuade, just give them a Braveheart DVD and they'll tick the yes box.

    Can we still be called Great Britain? No
    Can we still be called the United Kingdom? No
    As Scotland would be outside GB/UK it would have to apply to the EU for recognition/membership. In the meantime would that make all Scots foreigners as far as England is concerned? Would you have to have a passport to cross the border? Hopefully lock it and keep you nigels out.
    Will Scotland have its own armed forces? Apparently but I think its a ****ing stupid idea.
    Will a Yes vote mean all the Scots MPs in England have to sod off back up north? Yes and who cares yous don't do anything ****ing useful in parliament anyway except abuse public money.
    Will all the Scottish Tories in safe English seats be told to chance their arm back in the old country? Who ****ing cares.
    When it all goes tits up and they want to come back how will the apology be worded? No we will just invade you and take all your natural resources.
    Do the Scots think that anyone south of the border really gives a flying feck other than in comedic terms? No but when you start buying gas and oil from us you become our bitches, bitch.

    If Salmond doesn't win the vote will he step down? That would be a 'no' then. You mean like when English politicians make promises then break them but don't get sacked, or when they **** up a train deal and to save the job of one minister they move her into another job so she doesn't have to resign.

    **** off **** ****.

    You could answer most of those questions by looking at southern Ireland.

    4. Call the foreigners if you wish. Passports? In time.
    5. Probably.
    6. They would not be allowed an English seat.
    7. They would not be allowed an English seat.
    8. To assume that it's certain to go tits up is the height of arrogance.

    this has been going on for too long. we should have had the vote years ago. they either want in or out.
    what bothers me is, why is the vote exclusive to scotland. the rest of great britain should also get the vote to see if the majority wants scotland to be apart of great britain.

    but it should be the country pushing for independance that has the ight to vote themselves free, if the other countries could vote then scotland could be denied independence even if there was a 100% yes vote in scotland

    I'll have a stab at these.

    Anyone got any other ridiculous questions?

    Maybe one about children getting dual nationality?

    Jesus ****ing Christ <doh>

    Do you think Serbians should've voted on Croatia, Macedonia, Kosovo etc?

    I must've missed Irish people getting the chance to vote on what happens in the North - or Castillans and Basques voting on Catalonia.

    Why stop at the UK?

    Why don't we ask the whole ****ing Commonwealth?
