The Scottish referendum is a differently thing entirely and it's pointless talking about until Brexit happens.
Just to recap on the debate:
Scotland's currency was a big question. Alex Salmond argued the Bank of England was founded by a Scot, David Cameron argued the Bank of England issues money to those under the British Crown. No crown, no money.
What kind of border would we have? One like the GFA or a harsh policed border? Whole can of worms there.
How is Scotland gonna pay off it's debt, leaves it open for a lot of investors. Imagine Scotland using the dollar or the Euro, for example.
What does this mean for NI?
Trident, military, governance, police, taxation, water control, EU membership etc. etc.
Although, I think I have an idea. I call it "the gaelic agreement"
NI has the option to join Ireland or be independent, but whichever one it chooses, it will still be able to have freedom of movement to Scotland, but not England......I guess Wales can join too.

It wasn't. And since you literally cannot dictate my intentions, suck it.
No no, seriously: you're neither intelligent enough nor important enough to warrant me making a serious "counter thread" to one of your threads. A person who flies off the handle in violent rages is hardly someone you can have a serious conversation with.
Except me, of course. I am definitely the most informed person on this topic and it is glaringly obvious. There's no a single person I can legitimately talk to about this on this forum.
Scottish secession does appear increasingly inevitable, I believe it will happen in my lifetime.
It may be good for both parties, Scotland will have to accept responsibility for its own problems rather than using Westminster was a convenient scapegoat. And as the (frankly outdated) Union crumbles England will have to figure out what it stands for in the 21st century, and finally let go of its delusions of empire and grandeur.
Is he doing that again, it reminds me of my "Given America's experience in coups" thread where he created a similar one. He gets very triggered by the British imo.
