      why would a proud Scot want to be under English rule? The English look down about the Scots. The English make fun of you, act like you can't stand on your own, that you are are broke losers and that no one would want to take you. Then, I wonder, if you English hate the Scots so much then why do you want to keep the Scots shackled? Guess it's all abou the oil fields and British superiority complex of not wanting to lose more of their "empire".

If you think conscription is a European thing, and I think you mean National Service, it's not in every country (e.g. Germany) and in those where it remains you can do hospital work or community work instead.

      Third Eye 2003? That’s post colonialism and acts endorsed by NATO, and primarily committed by the US. Theft in our colonies? No shit, every single empire that has contributed to the progress of the world has committed bad acts; Rome, the mughals, ottomans, China, Germany, France, Spain and the Dutch. But look what we gave them as consideration- electricity, locomotion, Liberty of press, trade agreements, medicine, steel, running water need I say more. The famine in Ireland’s main cause was their absolute reliance on a single type of potato for food, the Benghal famine had many causes. Local mismanagement by Indian authorities, huge overpopulation, successive failed Harvests, and finally a scorched earth policy employed by Burma corps in WW2. On the last point, note it was necessary to stop japan rolling into India committing mass genocides, and worked very well.

      "The whole UK should vote on it..."?
      No, it should not. If there is the slightest truth in the claim that the UK is a union of equals, then Scotland, and ONLY Scotland, votes on whether Scotland wants to stay. And the other parts of the UK have to accept that. Unless you are proposing that Scotland should be forced to stay...?
      If your spouse decides to divorce, you do not get a vote as to whether they have to stay...
      "Not suprised that the BBC managed to only find Scots who dont want to leave the EU"?
      The reality is that Scotland voted, decisively, to Remain in the EU. The presenter did state that even in the Borders, which has, historically, been very pro-Union, they could only find ONE person who was willing to defend that Union on camera.
      The reality is that a lot of Scots are bloody angry that having voted against independence, because they were told that that was the only way to guarantee EU membership, they now see themselves being dragged out of the EU by English nationalists...
      The UK has a life expectancy of less than ten years. Brixit will destroy it.

We have a spectacular runaway housing and homelessness crisis which makes homebuying impossible for young or first-time buyers, and traps many people - like me - paying 50% of our wages on rent to US vulture funds. Whatever about GDP per capita, we also owe the most in the world, per capita, following our disastrous Recession and Bailout. Don’t forget that the reason you know much about Ireland is that we were, and are, an emigrant nation, which regularly uses economic migration as a safety valve to send tens of thousands of our young out to all corners of the world in search of work - pure economic migration, of the kind despised by many right wing British and American (and incredibly, even some Irish) pundits. Add in chronic overcrowding at our hospitals, a spectacular lack of hospital beds, a significant dearth in schools, tumbling global rankings for the quality of our universities, and - as much as I dearly love my country, and my people - life here in Ireland is anything but rosy, but relatively harsh and impoverished for many people, especially for renters, or people paying exorbitant childcare costs, etc etc.
      Still, at least we don’t hate ourselves like we see happening in Britain now between Leavers and remainers, or like the broken, shattered America across the pond. Thank god for that.

The concept of their independence needs to be based on truth not fiction... this is not brave heart, sheep in wolves clothing is far better analogy and to do this the word Celtic is used and blaming the English who they worked alongside with. They made agreement and they held referendum and voted No. Ireland has a British border created by both England and Scotland on it and to the irony and ignorance attached to this is enormous in the wider world. Brexit was a vote by uk but Scotland is now being the politics of Northern Ireland DUP which is undemocratic to this situation. Democracy and democratic process is being mocked and the loss of it will be far worse than Brexit.

Yes things have changed since then, but independence referendums can't keep been called every time the politics change, if that were to happen, we would have an independence referendum every 6 months. Fact is the British union has lasted 300 years and we became a force to be reckoned with together. The EU has only been around since the 70's and we will get through what ever comes which will be small compared to what threatened us in the last 100 years not to mention 300 years!.....

    What the man said at the end is the crux of the matter “the union isn’t one of equal partners”. The EU is, which is why much of England (I’m English btw) doesn’t understand it.
    The English mentality views the EU as “the Uk is bigger, more important and put more in we should get more out and dictate our own terms”. An EU made in the British image would be ruled by us, France and Germany with ‘lesser nations’ having fewer rights.
    The Irish border is a good example. The UK doesn’t understand that France and Germany would harm their own interests to stand up for one of it’s smaller members, in Ireland (because if the shoe was on the other foot, we would screw them over, and indeed have throughout history). Instead we can only rationalise it as the EU want to hurt the Uk.
    I’m sad to say that I don’t think the Union will last the next 10 years and I worry what England will become.

      Independence would probably be good for Scotland, but I wouldn't put much trust on the EU as it currently stands.
      As for the SNP, I wouldn't be surprised to see it turn to the right after independence, it's what all established parties end up doing after a while... especially if they're in control of an independent nation. Take a look at Labour (and the rest of "traditional" socialist parties in Europe), they've become just another brand of right wing.

Scotland leaving the UK would mean Scotland would no longer be able to use the pound. Leaving one union while staying in another union is not independence.Unfortunately for Scotland the UK leaving the EU would mean having to rejoin the EU which would mean having to sign up to things Scotland may not want to as it would be a new deal. Scotland would also have to take its share of the UK debt, something Nichola has avoided talking about. Then we get to the population of Scotland. The reason Scotland has free prescriptions, free university places etc is because the UK as a whole pays for it. There was a survey done a year or two ago as to what part of the UK get the most money. Even I was expecting it to be the South East, but turned out it's Scotland. Without the rest of the UK that will have to change. As for representation in the UK. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own devolution governments which England cannot vote on.

    No it’s not, we are breaking away from something bigger closing the door on free movement through Europe a single market to what build up trade again with each of these countries individually or even becoming a pawn for the US not a chance. Scotland breaking away from the U.K. gives us a bigger voice in the scheme of things with Europe look how they deal with Ireland have the up most respect for them and stand behind them we don’t get that from Westminster. We never have and since Brexit time and time again it’s been proven Scotland’s voice makes no difference to the runnings of the U.K. parliament they aren’t interested in us for our voice just what we have to offer which is oil and natural resources.
    So someone please point out to me how Scotland would not be able to finance itself.

Not only does it destroy national unity but it heavily damages the UK's financial centre (Which is a vital part of why the UK is important) with the UK out of the EU, businesses will be forced to find another English speaking country in Europe to put their businesses. Luckily for those businesses, Ireland will be a lot richer when N Ireland joins them and so will Scotland.

      🤔 Rather interesting question, it would be unlikely that the Scottish decide to be independent and at the same time a realm in which the queen Elizabeth II or her heir be their Head of State, Kingdom of Scotland (or Commonwealth of Scotland) versus Republic of Scotland. In a given case Scotland would continue as an independent monarchy with a king of the Windsor royal household, then at least nominally, the term 'United Kingdom(s) of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland' would continue having sense. I am saying very improbable (and silly) ideas but maybe a solution were to split the UK just into two parts: a Kingdom encompassing the regions which prefer to stay in the EU such as Scotland, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar and including Bristol, Manchester, Oxford and London as special districts within, and another Kingdom with the regions keen on leaving the EU, and at the end at least nominally both would continue comprising the UK. Unfortunately now all seems to indicate that after more than 300 years, Brexit will tear the Union appart, opinions are polarised in extreme.

Anyway, the Holy Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire, they both lasted almost one millennium and they no longer exist. If, after being united during around 300 years and even ruling an empire too, Great Britain splits into different republics (as the Habsburg monarchy) and I guess the kingdom of England, the world will continue turning around the Sun, would it be a pity?

    The BBC at its anti-Brexit game as usual - shame, shame, shame
    Scotland had its referendum and decided to remain with the UK, and for good reason. The UK for all the criticism it may attract has more of Scottish interests in mind than the EU will ever have. Do the SNP really think the EU gives a damn to what it is to be Scottish, or Welsh or Irish or English for that matter. We have our own traits and traditions but we are British and we fight to protect our Sovereignty and our democracy. The people have voted to leave the EU and that has to be respected. Remainer MP's who don't give a damn about the referendum or the wishes of the people. Who collude with foreign powers against their own Country, who would sell this Country down the river for their own ideology and gain - they are contemptible and have no place in a British Government.

      @@PersonyPersonYou're right, There is nothing to suggest that the EU will collapse within 10 years apart from the low interest rates (and the continuation of QE), Italy and Greece on the brink of another financial crisis (I hear that the NDP wants to bring back the "glory days" of Greece) and in order to sustain its current rate the EU will need to absorb more countries (now where have I heard that before? It rhymes with the CCCP). But you are right, there is nothing to suggest that the EU will collapse within 10 years apart from the things that I listed.
      And you know what? Nobody fucking truly understands the EU. It’s so convoluted as its layers, sub-layers and subsub-layers it needs its own qualification course. You think that you truly know the EU? I call bullshit.

      @@WhateverMan35 Greece collapsing financially was it's own fault, since they massively overspent on what their economy was capable of sustaining. Same with Italy to an extent. Economic troubles in a couple of member states does not mean it will cause a ripple effect on the rest of the EU. You also don't seem to understand how negative interest rates work, since you somehow think it is synonymous with economic collapse. The EU does not simply "absorb" countries, since they have to fit certain criteria in order to join it. But I am glad you came to the conclusion that there is no evidence of the EU collapsing, because there really is none.
      Just because you don't understand the EU does not mean others don't also. I admit I do not know about every single aspect of the EU, but know more than others as you have just demonstrated.
