When the UK exists the EU, will Scotland leave the UK and remain in the EU? It would be great for the EU to have the UK leave, but the Scots seem to enjoy being EU citizens.

You really are stupid aren't you fred the squealer, if the UK leaves the EU then the EU will lose its second largest contributer and its second largest market for EU goods. Then millions of EU citizens working in the UK will find they have to leave as they will be illegal immigrants. The scots can always demand another referendum, but the EU have already told them they are not granted membership automatically, and now that North Sea oil has dried up they only have their fishing as a bargaining tool. This is why they looked at joining with the Lap nations.

So do explain how the UK leaving the EU will be a great thing seeing as we get the least out and pay nearly the most in. It would be great for the UK as we could then deport all the muslim criminals, send murderers to prison for life and do away with the stupid HRA. Then sell our indigenous food without falling foul of stupid EU laws.

So why did the Independence vote fail

 

[Papageorgio]

So, the United Kingdom wants out of the European Union. Scotland wants out of United Kingdom. Not much of a united or union going on.

I think many people had cold feet on complete independence...however, voting in SNP MPs gives more power in the Parliament.

So why did the Independence vote fail

Because the Scots thought they could run away with the Oil money and dictate to the English, then found out that the wells were being capped because of the falling oil prices. Then the people saw through the promises from the SNP and realised they were heading for destruction.

Now they want another bite of the cherry and want to rule England at the same time, and that did not work either

The EU costs the British taxpayers 60% of their tax revenues that could be better spent in this country. It also tells our courts they cant punish criminals because of their human rights
