1707...that’s 315 years ago Scotland was last an Independent Sovereign Country, a great deal has changed but you should perhaps read your history books a bit more rather than believe English Nationalist Propaganda.
Just remember, It’s Scotland’s Oil, Gas, Water, Massive food and drinks sector with huge worldwide exports, Wind and Tidal Green Energy, all belong to Scotland, the thought should really be, if England is so All Powerful and constantly “Subsidising” Scotland, why doesn’t England want its independence, I have many family and friends in England, they’ll still be there when Scotland breaks away from a Westminster Government that will NEVER have Scottish interests at heart.
Time for Scotland to stop being bled dry by Westminster, no passports required by the way as Scotland would of course be in the Common Travel Area. The idea that the rest of the UK wouldn’t want to keep trading with Scotland is for the birds, Scotland would very much have the upper hand at the negotiating table, and for those saying Now is not the time, it’s Never going to be the time for Westminster or England, but it’s Scotland’s choice, nobody else’s.
Then of course Scotland would be heading back into the EU as an Independent country, just like the other 27 Independent countries, only this time Scotland would be at the table, not being fed crumbs by a government in England that Scotland never votes for, how smaller would Little Britain look with England burning bridges more and more, ripping up International Laws, deporting migrants to countries 4000 miles away, jeez, Scottish Independence can’t come soon enough.
It’s Scotlands choice, we are a Sovereign people.
