It was apparently William the Conqueror who first muted the idea of a Union of Scotland and England, James the V! (Scotland) James I (England) who took it further until the Union was created early 18th century under King William. Scotland has of recent times reminded me more off the upper class socialist t*** you find at all red brick university. Espousing the virtues of socialist ideals but relying entirely on Daddy to fund the lifestyle, pay the rent etc. If they truly want independence cut them off and see if they survive.

If however N.Ireland were given to Scotland that would give them direct access to the EU market, which is what they want, stay in the EU, which is what they want, and get out of English politics, which is what we want. Originally posted by Cpfc1861
England and Wales would work my mum and dad are welsh so they try and tell me I'm welsh even though im english. The Oil id imagine would stay with england I just can't see the Scots getting it northern Ireland is a tough one the english don't want northern Ireland and I don't think many Irish would either so both sides of the argument want when they aint wanted but england and wales financially would be a million miles better off without scotland who contribute nothing but just ponce and moan about it. Shame cos I like Scottish people just hate their politicians.

London probably is full of dirty money. I heard years ago now that London was the new Switzerland. However, I suspect the majority comes from financial trading, essentially not necessarily the money itself, rather the ability of being able to make money from transaction charges, commission, services, trading etc. What I wasn't going to go into was Europe's insistence on taxing London for any transactions - well trying to anyway. Probably can extrapolate a few points about current policies from this - whether left or right leaning in politics. Interesting, thanks.

What annoys me is that Nicola Sturgeon and Mark Drayford have done exactly the opposite of what Boris has done during this crisis, just because it's Boris. If he said snow was white, they would insist it's black. And now look at the rates of Covid growth in their countries. Half of Wales is in lockdown again now, and a good chunk of Scotland is going the same way because they didn't want to align with England out of vanity. If they think that they can do a better job of running their countries, let them get on with it. But don't come running back when you find you've made a mistake.
