Us Nigels ARE your history! Oil running out, gas running out, coal not seen as a viable energy source as it costs too much to get out of the ground (not that I am entirely convinced about that) and you don't get much credit from the IMF for "having a nice view of the Loch" on your bail out application form. You have lots of wind and lots of waves I suppose so there is a chance you could be the leading lights of renewable energy but by the time it comes to having to rely on it everyone else would be self sufficient also. Not sure if there will be a market to sell electricity from Scottish wind farms to the English. You might not believe it but I'm fine with the idea of an independent Scotland. I do think it is a shame though as for the last few hundred years we've been known as British and recognised across the world as being a union. Not sure what England, Wales & Northern Ireland are meant to call themselves if the Scots bugger off. After years of Tory abuse I don't blame you for wanting out of the deal, if Thatcher hadn't shat all over the Scots it might be a different story. Blame Thatcher, works for everything.
They will as soon as Merkel says so As time has gone on I've noticed in these independence debates there is a noticeable swing towards the yes vote.
They kept that completely off the table because they were well aware that their only chance to get out of the almighty mess was keep the multinationals on side. People confuse the situation as one of the Irish going cap in hand to Germany - when in fact the Germans had the spoon of medicine against the lips of Ireland and were trying to force it in - 1. because they didn't want contagion 2. because they were scared ****less that the Irish would drop the state bank guarantee, thereby letting the likes of Allied Irish go bust with about 80 billion of German private money on it's books.
not English as I have told you ****face. my signature says it. you are a typical anti-english racist though.
We WERE enjoying a mass debate, until ST sent me a photie of the rankest, sweatiest **** you'll ever lay your eyes on. please log in to view this image Now ****in behave ST. Dammit, you always do this to me before i get to eat. Another perfectly good appetite ruined.
But that's the EU for you, if you want to be in the big boys club then you need to do what the big boys tell you to do. If there was to be an Independent Scotland, then I don't want to be in the EU, I want Scotland to be like Norway, in the European Economic Area without having membership.
Ant n' Dec, don't come from this planet, at least not from this epoch. Mebe we can pawn em off to the Swiss.
