No poo poo I genuinely had this guy doing some groundkeeping for me earlier this year. If anything he was shorter, more muscular, and about 30 years older. And his accent was worse and he chainsmoked. My wife asked if he was thirsty and he asked for beer, but we only had english beer so he passed.

It will be awesome whent the Scots discover they have to pay for poo poo like roads and suddenly being part of the UK isn't such a bad idea.

spud posted:I'm wondering how the UK will cope with the lost Alcohol and Cigarette revenue. Each Scottish person apparently consumes twice his own weight in Buckfast each year. We can still get the cunts on import duty. I hope they all vote yes so in 5 year time i can laugh at them over the boarder because they ended up with a lower standard of living than North Korea.

I like to identify as British rather than English (because everybody hates the English), but personally I'd like to see Scotland go independent and I know a lot of people in England who feel the same way. I think if the referendum was expanded to the whole of the UK, the result would be overwhelmingly in favour of Scotland leaving. My uncle is praying for it, so he never has to deal with the Scottish railway system in his job. So from an Englishman: Go for it, Scotland! Don't want to be a part of the UK? Fine, we won't stop you from leaving. Just don't expect to keep the UK's currency or economic stability. Edit: Want to see an example of how Scotland fares on its own? Look at their professional sports teams. Plucky Brit fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Aug 31, 2014 |

I've never understood the currency argument. If they vote for independence and decide to keep using the pound or a new currency with its value pinned to the pound, what the gently caress can anyone do about it? "Stop using our money it's not your money now it's our money stop using it." "No." That's the entirety of that conversation.

They will probably run out of Forex to stabilise/control the "Scottish Mirror pound" really quick. Like Scotland says "The Scottish pound is worth 1 GBP" and the market go "No it isn't i'll give 0.8 GBP for one", what is Scotland going to do for people that need to do business with foreign companies with their devalued Scottish pounds? Unless Scotland literally backs their Scottish pounds with British pounds. Then congratulations i guess, you spent a shitload of money and antagonised your largest trading partner so you can have your own "currency" but still can't control your own monetary policy.

Independence is a terrible idea economically but an amazing chance to watch Scotland tell off England and then get hosed when the remaining UK tells them they can't use the pound and can veto their joining of the EU

Mycroft Holmes posted:counterpoint: margret thatcher Also remember that you will doom the remaining UK to only Conservative governments for the foreseeable future. It's excellent schadenfreude, but the Scots will realize they'll border Thatcherville 2.0 and will have to rebuild Hadrian's Wall to protect themselves.

voted yes bc gently caress living in a country where Nigel Farage or Boris Johnson aren't immediately told to gently caress off the nearest cliff edge. Salmond's a tosser and the SNP are only marginally to the left of Labour but I'll take them over most of the Westminster set any day No will probably win though and we'll be dragged along with the rest of the UK into frothing xenophobic irrelevance so v  v
