This is funny. But serious. If Scotland stays in the EU, there will be unlimited Muslim immigration to Scotland. Scotland and England share a huge, completely open border. Without a huge effort, England will not have fixed its Muslim immigration problem at all. They will travel to Scotland and then head to London.

There’s a lot of countries in the EU that are not using the Euro. The UK obviously was one of them. There’s also Denmark and Sweden, and a bunch of other littler ones.


Yes, but I believe it is now a requirement for membership of new countries, they will have to eventually adopt it -

Of the Member States outside the euro area, Denmark and the United Kingdom have ‘opt-outs’ from joining laid down in Protocols annexed to the Treaty, although they can join in the future if they so wish. Sweden has not yet qualified to be part of the euro area.

The remaining non-euro area Member States are among those which acceded to the Union in 2004, 2007 and 2013, after the euro was launched. At the time of their accession, they did not meet the necessary conditions for entry to the euro area, but have committed to joining as and when they meet them – they are Member States with a ‘derogation’, such as Sweden.

That’s funny. My first thought was the “wee ha’penny.”

I expect they’ll try for the euro as currency, and work for their independence from England using the leverage weight of the EU behind them. I expect Ireland to do the same with the six counties.

Oh, that’s even better. The British Pound Sterling, and the Scottish Wee Ha’penny. :-)

Scottish Penny For Your Thoughts...(PG)

This young Scottish lad and lass were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently. Then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, “A penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well, uh, I was thinkin’...perhaps it’s aboot time for a wee kiss.”

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Then he blushed. The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. Minutes passed and the girl spoke again.

“Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well, uh, I was thinkin’ perhaps it’s noo time aboot time for a wee cuddle.”

The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him for a few seconds. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while, she again said, “Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well, uh, I was thinkin’ perhaps it’s aboot time you let me put my hand on your leg.”

The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her knee. Then he blushed. The the two turned once again to gaze out over the lock before the girl spoke again.

“Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

The young man glanced down with a furled brow. “Well, noo,” he said, “my thoughts are a wee bit more serious this time.”

“Really?” said the lass in a whisper, filled with anticipation.

“Aye,” said the lad, nodding.

The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.

Then he said, “Dae ye nae think it’s aboot time ye paid me the first three pennies?”
