Yep. Pains me to say this but the Scots have gone off the deep end. They want socialism and (to quote Mencken) they are going to get it good and hard.

If so then England could vote to leave the UK.

The one burning question that I would like to see answered is: “What will all this do to the price of scotch whiskey?”

Normally, I avoid all things socialist, but sorry, I’ll keep purchasing single malts.

Single Malts is the one business socialists cannot destroy... From cuban Cigars to wineries in Soviet occupied Georgia. We shall see.

Call their bluff, cut the ties and let them go. Walk away. They’re on their own. Including defense, NHS, pensions and infrastructure. And no loans to the new nation-state, either. Stoke their pipes with the hard realities of being ‘home alone’ with Lenin and see what happens. Sink or swim, commie rotters.

The price of 750ml single malts will be doubled by fiat and one will have to buy ten kilograms of haggis @ €50 per kilo per bottle. Take it or leave it. No returns, no refunds.

More by scarcity than fiat. Scots will be digging thistles out of the ground to eat.

Well, I know that William Grant and Sons (Scotland’s biggest whisky manufacturer) and the Scottish Whisky Association have donated £100,000 to the ‘Better Together’ campaign because the international marketing of Scotch Whisky benefits enormously from Britain’s diplomatic firepower, which an independent Scotland simply could not afford to match:

Scotland is going to be a dead broke communist EU country with a 3rd world population due to immigration and politics.

Scotland wants a certain number of ships and stuff through this separation. They have no infrastructure to support them though.

Is it independence to be a part of the EU?

The Scots (I am 1/4 Scot, btw) have also gone insane in appeasing Muslim extremists and Sharia AND at the same time the most radical elements of the LGBT mafia. They are truly lost. If William Wallace were alive now, he would be lopping off heads in his OWN country.

Doubt it. The SNP has been caught out telling blatant lies like how Scotland’s shipbuilding industry (which relies entirely upon Royal Navy contracts) will be safer under independence, despite both BAe Systems and the Ministry of Defence both saying that they will reconsider closing English Shipyards and build them there instead.

Most polls seem to suggest that over 50% will vote ‘No’ and the Yes Vote usually struggles to get past 30%. For the Yes Campaign to win, you would have to assume that a lot of pro-Union sympathisers won’t bother to vote (unlikely) and that almost all the undecideds will vote ‘yes’ (again, unlikely). At this point, I think it would take a political event of cataclysmic proportions to persuade the Scots to vote for Independence in September.

There are some military contractors in Scotland who will probably relocate if they get independence.

In all fairness, Scotland has always been its worst enemy. Whenever anyone shows the industriousness to become a real leader, he was always undermined and betrayed, and frequently murdered, by some ambitious and incompetent underling.

And this is not a biased opinion, as it has been noted by Scots historians themselves, with a shake of their head at the tragedy.

But for once, if they do vote independence, there will at least be a framework for government, even if those currently occupying it are fools. And this means that it is likely that *someone* will ascend, who for better or worse will at least set a bar for his successors.

Whether they succeed in the long run, or fail, as the English suspect, believing that the most of them are of the same stock as Sawney Beane, will for once be up to them.

The irony is, Scotland barely has any ethnic minorities (, it is 96% white, and the only significant concentration of muslims is in Glasgow where they make up 5.4% of the population of that city (compared to 4.9% of the UK as a whole and 1.4% of the Scottish population).
