What no thoughts from Britain?

Because we don't know the answer.

If Scots vote for independence, the facility MIGHT have to close, IF the new Scottish government is anti-nuclear, BUT we don't know that.

They might not want to lose the employment and the money.

There are so many unknowns if the Scots vote Yes.

A pity post for Vette's D.O.A. cut n' paste thread.

And it's about 5694th on the list of things that people give a fuck about re-Scottish independence.

if they charge us a billion in rent each year for the base, we'll still be better off without them. also, they talk funny and deep fry chocolate.

Who controls north sea oil then?

I recently watched a replay of the Darling/Salmond debate and Darling gave the impression that a yes vote would result in the loss of about 8,000 jobs, while Salmond seemed to try to give the impression that a yes vote would have little impact. Reality will probably lie somewhere in between.

good question.

they just assumed they would get to keep the oil, the currency and the eu membership.

but the oil isn't a cert, the currency is a no and they'd have to apply to join the eu from scratch.

BP and Shell

We had a beautiful poster who was Scottish, long gone, but not forgotten. She had brains, and boobs on par with yours. While she was here I never had a negative thought about Scotland.

Always wanted to go there and photograph the castle at Edinburgh. Maybe some HDR images in varying light.

I love Scotland, I used to escape there for years. I would go to the Edinburgh Festival (Fringe) and then ride old trains, hike, just have down time.

The castle is interesting, so is the old part of the town.

BP and Shell

They could nationalize it

Very true. I suspect the fantasy of independence will be overshadowed by a harsh economic reality if it happens. People forget the economic reasons why Scotland and England merged to begin with.

Republic or monarchy? If the latter, the last King of Scotland was . . . let's see . . . Idi Amin. Did he leave any heirs?

That little fat sassanach hater has no chance of victory. English really don't care anyway...

I say cut the fat little heroin addicts loose and be done with them. Only problem is, where the fuck are we going to get our politicians and trade union leaders from?
