    Tomorrow is the day Scotland would’ve become independent. How about we just declare independence anyway?

    The Tories and Labour are in too much of a mess to do anything about it even if they notice 😉

    How about we just declare independence anyway?

    You could start by asking the majority who said no?

    Free from the tyranny and oppression of fully encased pastry pie fanatics?

    Able to freely exprees ourselves with a tin ashet, a pound of steak, some beef links and a packet of Bells puff pastry for a lid?

    I’m in. Vive la revolution.

    We could always go for partition. It worked for India and Pakistan.

    You pastry lid types are clearly a self selecting elite sitting on top of the ordinary filling of this world. Only with full pastry cases are we truly “all in it together”

    We should just have 2 systems in Scotland, one funded by the taxes of those who said yes, one by the taxes of those that said no. Likewise one funded by the benefits of being in the uk, one by the benefits of being independent. Seperate schools, healthcare …the works…

    I know which side I’d be wanting to be on…

    Possibly a bit complicated however…probably just easier to build a big wall around Glasgow like they do in numerous zombie apocolypse movies and let the place rot…

    Doubt it – Deacon Blue, Simple Minds and The Proclaimers?

    It’s OK loves, you keep the CDs we’ll have the Breville.

    Why not? We already do for schools. Drive round Glasgow and you’ll see pairs of schools right next to each other everywhere.

    And this Bank Holiday Monday it will be 100 years since the uprising in Ireland for independence from English and Scottish imperialism.

    There’s a lot of people south of The Borders who’d love to vote themselves independent of the Tory government too.

    At times like this I ask myself ‘what would Bjork do?’

    Would an independent Scotland force Greggs to re-introduce the Macaroni Pie.

    I’d move up there in a shot using t’other halfs Visa. Deep Fried Black Pudding from the chipper. Be dead in a year 🙂

    Better option is just get Scotland to Annex the north of England.

    Tesco’s do one, but it’s just not the same.

    I am glad tomorrows papers in Scotland will not be awash with jingoistic nationalist flag waving, or articles on junior doctor’s pay, disability benefit and an EU referendum affecting me that I have no vote in consigned to the ‘Around the World’ section.

    I love this from Stewart Lee

    Makes you think doesn’t it. Scotland could’ve been independent with oil at thruppence a barrel. We certainly dodged a bullet on that one.

    Though considering how completely wrong the OBR have been every other time they’ve forecasted oil revenues, we really have no idea where we would be. Basically, they’re guessing. Badly.

    Still, just as well the Scottish economy isn’t reliant on oil.

    You keep repeating that claim as if you really believe it.

    Shh, don’t you lot know it’s not about the money? Having the government that you voted for is far more important than being able to pay the bills.

    As compared to now, where we don’t have the government we voted for, and still can’t pay the bills?

    Dammit, got caught up again – this was meant to be a silly amusing thread.
