Scotland's decision

[Iani]

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.

The fishing fleet wasn't decimated by the EU, the fishing fleets decimated the stock.

Also a lot of the quotas given to British fishermen ended up in Spanish hands when they sold out for the money.
