#1 If they separate from England, the drop off of English tourists could halve the production of haggis.

#3 If there was a referendum In England on separation from Scotchland, it would pass by miles.

#4 Who cares what happens to them now? It seems all the good Scots have left Scotland ages ago.

#5 The Scots get more money from England than they contribute to the UK, just like the Quebecers and Canada. Or Robert Byrd leading a new secession movement.

#7 Looks like the Scots aren't content w/their cut of the Lockerbie blood-for-oil transaction.

#8 The sooner they secede, the sooner they can get back to their old tradition of stabbing other clans in the back.....

#9 Like Bonnie Prince Charlie and his group, things start out with a roar and end in retreat and disarray. Same will happen here.

I enjoyed Scotland when I was there, even have some distant relatives still there, but like many many, it was time to leave. Got through the Glasgow airport without incident, so that was a plus.

#10 Like ETA and the others I don't get this.
They are all part of the Super Bureaucratic EU state.

That will not change with separation except both will have less clout within the EU.

What's the purpose?

#11 What's the purpose?

That and send the muslim jizya collectors home and Britain will be swimming in budget surpluses. At least until the politicians get wind of the surplus.
