The Sunday Telegraph lead in Johnson plans to spend billions on Scotland including allowing Scottish patients to attend English NHS care.

Can I have a vote to give Scotland independence please, let them stew in their SNP nightmare.

I don't see the " Union " as some holy grail.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Why? Are you making some assumption about people who live in Hong Kong?

Really, I think that the Scotland has made massive contributions to the UK economy, most of which wasn't invested in Scotland:

"Looking back over the past 40 years it is estimated the UK Treasury has benefited from offshore oil and gas production taxes to the tune of about £300bn (adjusted for inflation). Not all of that would have been from Scottish waters, but it is thought about 90% of it would."

Pro China, EU & Palestine

The article is from 2014 when oil prices were around $100 a barrel since then the prices has drop to $50 per barrel. The article is about oil revenues not how much the UK taxpayer has funded Scotland during this period.

I don't doubt that Scottish oil has played a massive part in the UK economy but if we are going to get historic then we should go back 300 years to the creation of the Union and work it out from there.

Oil prices are not likely to rise anytime due to the switch away from Petrol and diesel and it's running out. The SNP should not be basing their economic argument for an independent Scotland on it.

As for the extra money from the UK taxpayer this happens every time Wee Jimmy and her mates threaten to break away rinse and repeat.

One more point

There will be billions spent on tory bribes to preserve the union.

Jut think of not having Westminster and the tories, at all.

Worth more than money could ever buy them.

The EU students in Scotland was an EU law that all EU citizens are equal. Welfare and housing being the main one . There was a loophole in the law that you could exploit natives. Another loophole was Northern Ireland. My friend was a unionist from Belfast. She just got an Irish passport and the fees magically disappeared. Madness.
