Scotland would be ok financially, it has a couple of bankrupt world class banks in RBS and HBOS. The Eurozone Tobin tax I'm sure will help the banks recover  :D :D The English, Welsh, and Northern Irish, I'm sure will give Scotland generous terms on paying back the bailout debt on these. Easy to manage terms over 25 years on your Independence credit card at a mere 2% interest per month.  ;D ;D ;D

The repair and maintenance of a couple of fishing patrol boats won't be quite the earner of a nuclear submarine base, along with the repatriation of many public service HQ's  / call centres etc. that were located in Scotland to help bring down the high unemployment, but Scotland can't have everything.  ::) ::) ::)

Scotland will inevitably having much higher taxes than the UK:
1. High unemployment, high social provision to pay for the most unhealthy lifestyle out of all of the UK population.
2. No more uk higher spend per head of population tax rebate from the rest of the UK.
3. Keeping King Salmon and his royal court at the standard of living he aspires too will not be cheap.
4. No discount allowed on your EU membership invoice.
5. The Eurozone welcome pack for their newest member, will include an invoice for your contribution to the ECB amd EFSF bailout funds. :o :o :o (The pack will include a Merkosy 'with complements slip'.  ;D ;D ;D)

The biggest net change will be to the growth of Scottish tourism.....

 It will be great for the UK side of the Scottish borders.

1. Many Scottish businesses will locate to take advantage of the lower corporation tax and Business rates.
2. Employees will encourage them to move, so they can border hop to avoid higher Scottish employee taxes.
3. The weekend tourist trade will be mainly in a southern direction for shopping trips (VAT 5% lower), cheaper petrol and for a good smoke, cigarettes in England will still be under €10 a packet and there will be no minimum €2 charge per unit of alcohol, so they can afford their Friday and Saturday bevvie or twenty in an English pub and then crash out in a local B&B.  ::) ::) ::)

As an Englishman if the vote was nationwide I would have probably have voted against independence, but on this analysis I'm rapidily talking myself into a yes vote.  ::) ::) ::)

Good to see a balanced view, rather than the normal cries we get from the BBC, Guardian etc, about the 'far right' as soon as a country has a proper conservative government. We had a similar press response when Margret Thatcher was in power.

I hope his policies work, so the left wing press have to shut up.

After all, the European socialist model based around the EUSSR is working wonderfully at the moment, the Eurozone countries economies are clear converging (as planned) as we can see from Government bond interest rates. Yesterday for 1 year bonds: Germany -0.013% (yes, a negative interest rate, investors paying to keep funds in a perceived safe haven) and Greece 372%.  :o :o :o :o :o :o

Ah, but where does 'your choice, you pay' stop, when it comes to the NHS?

Obesity work? That's their own fault, right?
Alcoholism? That was their own fault, right?
What about the driver in a vehicle accident? It was their choice to drive...

That's why there should be a charter between Government and the Electorate on what the NHS does and doesn't cover. If you knew that private clinic implants wearnt covered on the NHS then private insurance could be taken out to cover future treatment.

The advertising slogan could be along the lines of: "They can't be trusted to not be busted, can't afford a hit on that artificial tit, a leaking one is such a drag, along with the unsightly, uneven sag, what you need is the twin peaks uplifting insurance cover, every quote personally measured to fit to your exact requirements".  ;D ;D ;D

Easy and cheap to fix the West Lothian question, only allow English MPs to debate and vote on the issue. See that was much too difficult for the current bunch of bladder heads in Government to think of.  >:( >:( >:(

Does this mean they can reduce the £460 tax bill I've just had to pay out for a Mercedes then  >:( >:( >:(

To make sure we don't get an ice age, they ought to invert the road tax scale so all of those driving cars with the lowest CO2 emissions pay the £460 tax rate, that will teach all those green tinkers, and all those that drive a car of over 2.6L get their road tax free.  :y :y :y ;D ;D ;D

No worry, I won't ask just want to mention that home we pronounce "Shaarkozy" it means about : "intermud man" but when I hear his name "Sarkozy" from an Englishman's mouth on the TV I must laugh all the time cos that means "intershit man"... ;D ;D ;D

Now I know that how to pronounce his name properly, I'll have to stop using the nickname "Useless French Pr**k". "Intersh*t man" it is.  ;D ;D ;D

::) The Hungarian language can get one into terrible trouble:

The Castle Hill funicular railway in Budapest is called the Sikló........

......but be careful how you pronounce it; as a Csikló is something else; altogether! :-[


 ;D  :-[ You don`t need to ask how I know that! ;D  :-[

One is a very different sort of ride from the other.   :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm a bit more optimistic over likely future wars and think, WW3 is unlikely, more likely to be minor skirmishes like Iran and religious and political extremists.

We have been on a technology v resources race since the start of industrialization. We started off using trees and their wood for fuel, once we had cut down most of the trees, it was coal, next gas and then oil. Electricity as an energy transmission medium had transformed civilization with nuclear power being the way forward. Mankind over this period has become much more energy efficient and there is still along way to go on this front. Apart from oil, virtually no mineral resources have been harvested from the seas and oceans to date. As resources get scarcer this will become cost effective and we will also get much better at recycling. I have yet to hear anybody even suggest, let alone say we can't do this anymore as there are no natural resources left.

Scientists are saying that without the rise in CO2 levels we would have an ice age within the next 1500 years.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16439807

Talk about things going a full circle as this was a big topic among scientists in the late 1960's.

We now all have duty to emit as much CO2 as possible to stave off the next ice age.

So next time some bearded, cardigan wearing, tree hugging environmentalist is lecturing you on reducing your carbon foot print, show him this and tell him to stick his views where the sun don't shine.  :y :y :y

PS: Mr Cameron, please can I have all I have paid in climate change taxes back.  ;)
