HRH has given her opinion now, so watch this space!
Being kicked out the EU might not all be bad for Scotland you know. In many small communities, the fishing fleet was decimated due to EU regulations, and with all those islands (Including Rockall?), they'd control a colossal tract of sea.
Course, Salmond always wanted an independent Scotland to join the EU - hoping they'd get huge subsidies like Ireland used to do, however that's all dried up and that gravy train hit the buffers years ago.
A separate Panelbase poll for Yes Scotland, which had its groundwork take place between September 2 and 6, showed No leading 52% to 48% when undecided voters were excluded.

Oh, , Andy ... there are, indeed, pros and cons - in the longer term - but it's the latter that is the BIG WORRY, because I fear Scots are being lulled (conned!) into a sense of false security by promises that NO newly-elected purely Scottish Government (of whatever political persuasion!) can possibly DELIVER without the necessary financial resources becoming available through higher taxation from the outset.

Goodbye would most likely mean a permanent wave ... a "hair~raising" (as well as a straightforward hand~waving ) gesture ... so it's extremely doubtful the (by then former) British curling team would be too happy about that!
It's weakening sterling !

So Scotland wants to be independent and yet one of the first things they want to do is to reapply to be a member of the EU so that it can be governed from Brussels!!
Shetland and Orkney Isles will have the option to opt out, so what happens then? They are still British, and so is the oil?
What a total cock-up.
8% of the UK population in Scotland.
9%+ of UK budget currently spent on them.
Two of their banks bailed out by the BRITISH taxpayers.
An energy industry set up by BRITISH taxpayers.
The Yes voters are absolute fools, they've already got the best of both.
