Independance for Scotland

[joggerjayne]

I just heard on the News that we have to subsidise Scotland by �20billion every year.

Next time there's a vote on Scottish devolution, can we all vote on it as well ?

[radiogaga]

why arent the governments keen to let scotland be independant then? mmm oil maybe?

[Razzle09]

More than happy to subsidise Scotland..........they've been supportin us (Norn Iron) for years....

[joggerjayne]

Dunno

Is there a Mazola factory in Glasgow, or something ?

[logic]

Up the Scots that's what I say.

[dot.haukes]

[logic]

MAZOLA ?

I think Sussex should be independant, too.

We could be self sufficient on our revenue from fish and chips, candy floss and gay sex tourism.

This is the recommendation of an independent body called the Calman Commission which has announced a reduction in the budget allocated to the devolved Scottish Government. The budget had been set at �32 billion prior to today's announcement.
Just in case anyone was misled by jj's rather erroneous heading above?

[Harry-Wragg]

joggerjayne - I'm surprised ayou - �20 billion? - is that all? -we're sitting up here inventing things for you like penicillin, telephones, fax machines, television, pneumatic tyres, raincoats, tarmac roads, quinine, golf, radar - the list is endless plus we give you all the revenue from the North Sea Oil and Gas and let your maniac pals from across the pond park their nuclear subs here. Come independence the subs might end up in the Thames - near the Houses of Parliament might not be a bad idea.

Go Harry, good on you mate! Funny how they get all annoyed at a few Scottish MPs yet when the Tories didn't have a single seat in Scotland we were just supposed to sit back and take it - Poll Tax and all
