The Scots do not love England for their money or their sovereignty. They are a part of a United Kingdom by conquest. As for money England was very quick to say that Scottish oil revenues were UK oil revenues. Now that the oil revenue is running out the UK is panicking.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-69881594748231053092016-06-28T19:10:13.780+01:002016-06-28T19:10:13.780+01:00Perhaps I could just point out Ro that of the 545,...Perhaps I could just point out Ro that of the 545,400 people employed in the public service in Scotland (from the NHS through government to the armed forces) 487587 or 89.4% are employed by the devolved government in Scotland. The SNP has been pushing for the closure of Fasland and the removal of nuclear weapons from Scotland. The UK government has been closing or 'rationalising' military bases in Scotland anyway. <br /><br />The currency issue is a red herring (Scotland's banks already issue their own promissory notes linked directly to the English £).<br /><br />I am not a member of the SNP but I can't let such misinformation go unremarked upon.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-70777406346619941322016-06-28T12:14:29.103+01:002016-06-28T12:14:29.103+01:00That's what we joined, and that's what it ...That's what we joined, and that's what it should still be.
