Fuck the Scottish cunts, who gives a fuck if they want independence? I'd rather not be associated with a country where 99% of its inhabitants are either addicted to heroin and / or Tennants Super.

why would anybody want to be independent with wonderful neighbourly attitudes like this?

Here's a youtube outlining the BBC bias i was on about earlier (the unnamed orange order march (described as a pro-union rally) vs glasgow yes rally stuff, not the nick robinson stuff):

EDIT - here's the full answer salmond gave to nick robinson (which was very misleadingnly edited for the news broadcast with nick saying 'he didn't answer...')

Its been along time since we cast off the butchers apron over here and we have had some pretty hard times of it this 90 odd years, what with economic wars, clerical domination, recessions, emigration, corruption, property bubbles, austerity and what ever else you are having, but there was never at any time any movement to reverse our hard fought independence. The Scots ought to have much easier a time of it, remember we have next to no natural resources and are the most geographically isolated of the EU countries and despite our recent economic upheavals we still make the top 20 in these GDP per capita lists, ahead of the UK in each case I might add, which suggests that a richly resourced Scotland which is similar in many other ways to Ireland ought to be a paradise on earth, but do they have the balls for it, I think not.

Right on. Scotland would be 14th richest gdp (not per capita) if they went independent now i read, with only 5 million people. They've got shitloads of oil, including loads on the west coast that michael heseltine kept secret for 30 years because they didn't want oil rigs where they had to drive their nukes back and forth (and they didn't want the scots knowing how rich they are). I don't like oil particularly, but even without it they've got some huge percentage of europe's renewable energy too.

They wouldn't have been allowed, though a certain section of their supporters would support Scotland or sections of it being relegated into England as they support the English team, but Loyalism, Ulster or otherwise is a discussion for another day.

Haven't oil revenues gone down by 30% in the last ten years though?

Salmond is a slippery but excellent politician. If all the finance sector move to London and Scotland can't join Europe for ten to fifteen years it's going to be a complete disaster.

I don't know, but if that included the oil not yet developed because the nukes are in the way it might be different. The oil can't be too shabby or the city of london wouldn't be pooping their pants so much at the thought of losing it.

This isn't a vote for salmond anyway.

For more proper answers i refer you to the wee blue book
 
Having skim read the booklet it does seem to skim over some major issues. For example Spain will almost certainly veto scotland joining the EU as a warning to the Basque and Catalonia independence campaigns.
