The comments by Mariano Rajoy are a damaging blow to Alex Salmond's claim that Scotland would be able to negotiate its long-term membership of the EU from within the bloc, should Scots vote to break-up the United Kingdom in 2014. "I would like that the consequences of that secession be presented with realism to Scots," Rajoy said yesterday. "Citizens have the right to be well informed and particularly when it's about taking decisions like this one." "I respect all the decisions taken by the British, but I know for sure that a region that would separate from a member state of the European Union would remain outside the European Union and that should be known by the Scots and the rest of the European citizens".
Whether Scotland get's Independence or not I don't want to be part of the EU. I've said before Fatso has made quite a few arrogant assumptions about what will happen without checking first. Sterling is another which will come back to bite him on his fat arse.
Meh, Scotland will be firing Nukes at Spain soon because she keeps sending wee boats into Gibraltarian waters.
not really no! But the same principle as with Spain goes - the only reason neither the Flems or Waloons have resorted to violence in order to gain independence is because they are all too busy eating chocolate or molesting children
