Say goodbye to the £20Bn subsidy Scotland receives each year to maintain its self. It will be good to have a little bit of piece and quiet without the constant whining about things that happened centuries ago.

Well since the brave Scots would no longer be feeding the Inland Revenue Service I would say they will come out ahead. Now where is my bottle of Dewars?

I wish them well, and hope they can feed their own exchequer with enough revenue to operate the country in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
£11k per head from the government to subsidise all services as opposed to £10K for the rest of the U.K.
Money flows both ways across that border not just one way.
Last year Scotland provided 9.3% (6 billion of that from Oil) of the U.K revenues and received 9.4% in return,with defence etc given for free.
The extra loads put on their economy will be bailed out by the E.U no doubt.
I hope they think long and hard about this and don't just act out of bravado.
