All I can say is good for them. I disagree on many of there agenda points but an independent Scotland would be pretty cool.

Looks to me like they are a bunch of socialist a-holes.

The general problem with the entire British Isles is that anyone who was worth a crap packed up and left a long time ago.

Yea, I stumbled upon an article about this yesterday. The USA press doesn't cover europe much, so I was surprised to see this.

They already have their own national bank and currency ... it shouldn't be a huge change over.

Now if only England would GTFO of Northern Ireland...

Last time I was in Scotland I talked to a lot of them about this issue, and pretty much every person was divided: they still harbored deep resentment of the British and the way the British treat them like a backwater, but they enjoy being part of "The Empire" and all the protections and benefits that affords. Personally, I'd say they're better off without the Brits, especially since the Scots are so business friendly compared to England.

MUCH like we'd be better off without Obama's sinking Titanic to our north!
