Golf courses?

Scotland sees the end of welfare if not in the EU. That teet is hard to give up once you’re on it.

[john drake]

North Sea oil, Scotch, shortbread cookies, Tennant’s beer and sheep’s wool products. Can’t think of much else off the top of my tam.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

When Thomas Sowell looked at success rates of Americans by nation of origin he found that people from Scottish decent were among the most successful.

Did all of the entrepreneurial stock leave Scotland at some point in the past? Are there only socialists and freeloaders left?

[Stand W]

Freedom!! Horrible horrible freedom!!

[Zarro]

I see what you did there...

[Celerity]

There are movies made about the level of video surveillance “enjoyed” by the Scottish people.

[hal ogen]

Where will all the scot slackers and socialists on welfare get their money then?

[aquila48]

[NohSpinZone]

Scotch?

[az_gila]

They have a nice golf-course. Owned by Trump!

And just to rub it in - my UK BIL said that it's the best course he's played on in Scotland and Trump just refurbished it. The grand hotel has magnificent views.

[Repeal 16-17]

If Scotland votes to secede, will the next Prime Minister or Parliament recognize it?

[SoFloFreeper]

It’ll be interesting, because I understand if Scotland goes indie then the Labour party of Tony Blair will be in ruins.

[Repeal 16-17]

The moment Scotland leaves, England will become majority Conservative

It would be like if California and the Northwest seceded from the US.

[RightGeek]

Does the EU have enough cash to support them?

Side issue: What the hell happened to Scotland? They turned into a nation of welfare slugs.

[Bobalu]

Something fishy about Sturgeon.

Poor hygiene perhaps?

[protest1]

I am Scottish and also proud to be British I voted OUT of the EU and IN Britain.

If the Vichy government of Scotland forces another referendum on remaining part of Britain I will vote to stay in Britain.

What you need to understand about the SNP is that their sole policy is "we hate the English". They are mostly a party of small minded racist bigots. If England does something the SNP want to do the opposite... if England don't support something the SNP will make a big song and dance a about how they support it.

[protest1]

I am about a 7 hour drive from Turnberry... a pity I was not closer or I would have gone to cheer on Donald Trump.

[Resettozero]

At the Trump Turnberry news conference today, the only ones pushing the question of a vote for Scotland to leave the UK and to re-enter the EU *MAYBE* — were the media guys and gals, who were roundly booed by the other attendees everytime the subject was re-introduced repeatedly.

So if the Scots vote to pull out and Great Britain resists that - should we BOMB LONDON, just as we bombed Belgrade over Kasova (as Bill Clinton called it)?
