More like the end of civilisation due to Twitter.

Although I am beginning to think that Gandhi had it right on western civilisation.

But Scottish Independence, and remaining in Europe, would of course have some strange effects! Firstly, there would have to be Border Controls, which would mean that Scots would no longer be free to roam our moors! Of course as EU citizens they would have no free access to our job market, but would have to apply for work permits, in exactly the same way as anyone else.

All British Military bases in Scotland would have to close, with immediate effect, as Scotland would be allied to a treaty of which we are no part, this of course would include the vacating of the Faslane base, no way could our nuclear deterrent be based in a foreign country. The recent contract for building Royal Navy ships would go the same way, for obvious reasons. The Army and RAF would have to leave too, otherwise they would be an occupying force, so just from the military, Scotland would lose about twenty thousand jobs.

Of course all the Scots working in the UK would have to be reconsidered for their current jobs, opportunity to get rid of the less capable ones, good for British business! Of course the civil service and other public sector jobs would go too! So few more thousand jobs gone, oil reserves running out, and very little other opportunities to make money.

Plus of course the current support in financial terms would disappear too, hmmm am I glad I am not in Scotland!
You can say the same about Britain in relation to the EU. There are about 1.3 million British expats in other EU countries. I'm not a big EU fan but the argument that your sovereignty was somehow compromised by the "totalitarian" bureaucracy in Brussels is simply ridiculous. If you're a reasonable person, you may laugh at this yourself but this was a major motivation for the majority of people in England to vote for Brexit. In other words, just plain British nationalism. Only that nationalism isn't exactly shared in Scotland except maybe among Glasgow Rangers supporters. Those Scots who voted against independence in 2014 feel cheated now. I've seen many folks from England boast about their national pride, on social media, Youtube and here on VEF. Whether this is laudable or not, the Scots have the same right to express their pride and patriotism. But in this world pride and patriotism don't pay the bills nor do they feed your children. The Scots should know that and the Brexit supporters too. To tell you the truth, I don't know much about Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP. I have a vague idea about her party's policy but whatever it is, she has a right to represent her country's interests first and that country is Scotland. Obviously the majority of Scots seem to share this sentiment since the SNP is the largest party in Scotland and the third largest in the UK, just behind Labour and the Tories.

The round £1 will be legal tender until October 15th 2017.
It will be phased out by a new 12-sided £1 coin, which will enter circulation on 28 March.

I wont lie about it. I would not piss on Nicola Sturgeon if she was on fire. She is nothing and no one to me.

This is a strange form of nationalism, "representing Scotland's interests" as you put it, by wanting to sell Scotland's bottom in public toilets to the EU rather than be in the country which Scotland played a vital part in creating. I dont call this Scottish nationalism at all.

Lets play charades...

Think of a word beginning with...T

I guess this is how the SNP views Scotland's position in the UK, now and historically.
