So Nicola (prehistoric fish) Sturgeon will not rest until the scottish get another referendum on breaking away from the away from the rest of the UK. Apparently they don't want to wait until Brexit is completed. Many English people are completely bored with this now - if they want "Home Rule" - then let them, can't they get it into their heads we are really not that interested - but we need to erect a 30 foot electric fence across the border to keep them in (machine gun towers like the Berlin Wall could be a consideration as well in addition to passport control). (No economic support either (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT) - which is what they would obviously want as part of any breakaway deal as we English have "plundered and pillaged" their resources since the 13th Century).Obviously I am making these remarks "tongue-in-cheek"...... but on a slightly more serious level, have the Scots considered all the consequences of independence. For example, if they had to apply to rejoin the EU, they would have no choice to adopt the Euro as this is in the"Rules". I wonder how this would impact upon "Angus" with his life savings stashed in fivers under the floor of his croft. Just interested to hear what other views ABers have on this

Yes & if she fails to win the referendum she'll keep wanting referenda till she does. A bit like Southern Ireland & the EU.

Links don't work when used as thread titles.
Do the Scots not pay taxes then?
'Just interested to hear what other views ABers have on this'

Search for 'Independence'.
I haven't got any views as I don't even know Angus.
He's Morag's second eldest.
I've always assumed there was a y in Morag or is Moyrag another name?
I'm sure there are variations.
Prehistoric fish?

Thanks for that Mamya. Can never remember how to do those links.

Your link is fine , just do a title then add link below.

Sorry I have nothing constructive re your question.

Pete65. "Sturgeon" is a species of a rather hideous fish which goes back about 400 million years and has never really progressed much in its development in all that time. It's an endangered species now. Any parallels there - I'll leave it to you to decide ? Apart from that, don't you think Ms Sturgeon has a hairstyle (and face) almost exactly the same as ex-Scottish footballer Gordon Strachan. Separated at birth perhaps ? If I were making the beast with two backs with her, I don't think I could get the image of Gordon out of my head which would be slightly off-putting to say the least

ZM - pls don't be such a killjoy. I was trying to add a bit of humour to a tedious Monday afternoon (and having a bit of a go at Ms Sturgeon who I admit has a similar effect on me to having my face rubbed up and down a pebble dashed wall) - although given the choice I think I'd prefer SS style torture rather than be forced to listen to her political rantings
Title Updated.
Soz paddy. The subtlety of your humour was lost on me.
Disgraceful way to refer to a woman!

ZM. I bet you're a barrel of laughs out on the pi$$ on a Friday night. No offence intended - I'm a Yorkshireman - it's just the way we are.
The Republic of Ireland (not southern Ireland - it does not exist) is a complete different thing all together.
Oh dear //Many English people are completely bored with this now.//
If you're so bored, why don't you just *** off and leave us alone. The vote has absolutely nothing to do with you and I find your whole post in very bad taste.
