I cant believe that the currency question has still not been settled - after 2014 I would have thought it would have been the first policy to have nailed down.
Read the complete thread - it's hilarious.

I think the Euro factor is double edged, if Sturgeon flips this and say yes lets adopt the Euro to get away from Westminster it could get very interesting.
Scotland is always going to need help getting away from the UK and the Euro could bank-roll that and guess what with the EU wanting to punish Britain they might get their referendum much faster.

Irrelevant, there isn't going to be a separation, wings is deluded. Besides, he lives in England. So much for his support for the cause he's a rabble rousing waste of space who is all mouth and no kilt. Stuart Campbell has been saying, for some time now, that he doubts a referendum will be held. The timescale just won't allow it. wingsoverscotland.com/catch-2022/What has where he lives got to do with anything? |

If Scotland wants to join the EU it would have to meet the criteria for joining the Euro including the deficit rules.
Joining the Euro is a mandatory part of joining the EU.
And we all know that Scotland won't leave the UK.

Look up These Islands Not sure what your point is - these are SNP politicians in Westminster - are you claiming they are arch unionists?.. The point is that Sam Taylor is associated with These Islands. An arch Unionist from an arch Unionist organisation. You sure can pick them. |

Another paradox - the SNP want to shut down the oil industry but are still expecting it to fund independence...

You are shooting the messenger again - what is your comment on what the SNP MP's actually said? No, you are deliberately(?) picking out ultra Unionist tweets, using snippets of speeches. However, I saw nothing wrong with any of the comments even though they were taken out of context.Go to i-player and watch the whole debate. |

Oil is but one important aspect of the Scottish economy. Following some fallow years, the sector is booming again. The Brits are pinning their faith on the current status of the industry to see them through the present economic problems. I reckon the industry would not be finished until there is certainty regarding other sources of energy. Renewables are the way forward and enough energy is produced from wind, hydro, tidal etc to provide adequtely for the loss of oil. It is the rUK that has energy problems hence the talk of going nuclear. We don't need that dangerous option. |

Its the SNP who think that the oil industry will fund the ‘Building a New Scotland Fund’ to the tune of £20 billion. Do you really believe that this can be accomplished without expanding oil production?. Not being insulting but this is what makes me laugh at Scottish Nationalists - anyone who questions anything about the plan for independence is treated to a load of abuse and diversion into irrelevant issues, it's as though SNP supporters know the policy's are nonsense and have no wish to defend them. |

Again you are talking about what could have happened in the past. As the article makes clear (and which you ignored), if the Scottish Government want to create a £20 Billion wealth fund from oil revenues then it is not going to do that without allowing more oil exploration and extraction - something the SNP have said they will not do. Well I can see why Indy supporters would have a very rose tinted view of what an Independent Scotland would achieve - however those with no skin in the game can take a rather more skeptical look at the figures and question some of the assumptions. Sorry for screwing up the formatting of the replies - I hit the wrong button...  |

Read the complete thread - it's hilarious. Scots Nats don't really bother with questions of economics. Traditionally smart Scots have left their homeland and turned other nations into financial powerhouses and left their less able brethren to join Alba and the SNP, while screaming that it is all the fault of the Duke of Cumberland for sending the Lobsterbacks up north to bugger the sheep.
If Wee Krankie had any sense she would follow the Irish model of low taxation and an open armed approach to inward investment. But she hasn't and is just advocating socialism in a frock.
