Few folk in Scotland voted positively for Blair, Andrew (as if non-constituents vote for a PM anyway), It was a tiny minority of floating voters in middle England that actually swung his election.
Things haven't gone so great, it's true, for Iceland, or Ireland for that matter, but how many people in those countries are clamouring to be back, ruled by someone else?
Anyhoo, A few years of the tories running things again, and it'll all come out in the wash.
same footing as Ireland, which is no' so bad
Yeap last I heard the Irish economy is booming.
I refer the right-honourable gentleman to the comment I made some moments ago...
have they left yet?
Typical comment from a jambo!

Ahh sorry, I was generally just ignoring the opinions of the Scottish. What currency would an independent Scotland choose?
If Scotland becomes independent, will Scots in the UK become "illegal immigrants"?
If so, will our streets be free of aggressive Big Issue sellers in 6 months, and a remarkable lack of dogs on string henceforth?
Well, yeti, that'd be up for us to decide, though we do have our own currency, even if it isn't recognised in English pubs and shops. 
Be honest, do you really think you'd be given ALL the oil and gas money for the north sea? National waters extend a few miles offshore, beyond that its fair game (well it would be if nations hadnt agreed already who got what area). Seeing as those treaties were written up as great britain/uk/whatever, the English would have as much claim to (whats left of) the oil and gas as you.
It's wishful thinking, of course, that Scots would be relaxing in a jacuzzi of oil money as soon as independence came around.

No-one with the slightest credibility is suggesting Scotland would be outside the EU so Scottish citizens would be entitled to live in the UK on that basis (assuming they weren't put on the Polish/Bulgarian accession country scheme, which would be amusing!). But probably in any case in parallel to the EU stuff you would have a UK/Scottish deal on the UK/Irish model anyway - unrestricted immigration, open borders, no discrimination between citizens A and B, service in each other's miitaries allowed, full voting rights...
