Exactly this. And if Scotland are such a drain on resources (as many people claim - ie England supports Scotland and we couldn't afford to be independent) then why fight so hard to keep us? Surely it would benefit England more if they said "cheerio" and waved to us from the border as we went on our own merry way.At the end of the day if WM are so confident that the Scottish people want to remain in the union then there's nothing to be feared from a second referendum?

Boris is fuelling the support for the SNP/independence imo.
People in Scotland are so opposed to him and his party. Hes a crook and his cronies are only out to serve themselves. The level of corruption is unreal.
So I think thats why hes brought up. Thats just my opinion though.

Exactly. The same old argument happens here in NI that we're a drain on the UK and the ROI couldn't afford us etc yet every single independent study shows that an All Ireland economy would thrive. They know people get scared when the talk turns to money. It's to make people fear the unknown and err on the side of caution when it comes to voting. The same old "better the devil you know" rhetoric that sees useless politicians re-elected time after time and then people wonder why nothing ever changes. I would love to see an Scotland independent.
So proud of the people of Pollokshields and Glasgow today. 
My free at point of access university education , prescriptions , early years chid care funding & provision , quick access to my GP today, newly refurbished good performing local schools and professional connections in the social care arena would disagree .
I also think our children should have the right to vote for their futures so yeah, 50 years
ETA I pay top rate Scottish tax and itās worth it.
Never been so proud to be from the Glasgow area as I am today. Incredible city. Everyone is welcome here. Lots of love to any fellow Weegies on this threadSo proud of the people of Pollokshields and Glasgow today.
It really is incredible to see. Any videos Ive seen have made me emotional. It shows you what power as people we hold.
Except protesting is soon not to be allowed, I wonder why they dont want us to do it.

I presume if Scotland did get independence that the BAE contracts would be moved to barrow and other English shipyards?
How would Scotland pay its way in the Eu if they can join up, which I find doubtful because of reasons already mentioned (Spain )

I think Spain have already said they wouldnt oppose it.

Not sure about the shipyards, there are other jobs in Scotland. Pretty sure loads of work has been pulled already over the years.
Spanish government confirms no EU veto for an independent Scotland
Peopleās Party members claimed veto for fear of emboldening Catalan and Basque independence movements

And what is my Scottish tax money paying for?
You have actual proof English tax money goes directly to us in Scotland and not say the NHS in England etc?
Yeah and the shipyard contracts that were promised as part of the No deal never materialised either.I think Spain have already said they wouldnt oppose it.

Wow!!! Do you think we donāt work in Scotland, donāt pay tax ??
If Scotland brought nothing to the table, would Boris not just wave bye. Mmmmmm lovely to hear you love the Scots but your single mindedness is rediculous!

Anglophobia is a bigger problem than Islamophobia in Scotland and should be tackled in the same way, politicians warn
- Councillors in Moray say more abuse is being hurled at English 'minority group'
- Group have called for policy to tackle Anglophobia, similar to Islamophobia plan
- One Scottish councillor was told: 'Go back to England!' due to his weak accent
Call for Anglophobia to be seen as issue alongside Islamophobia
Moray councillors said they had received accounts of people who had suffered from anti-English behaviour.
Anglophobia is 'bigger issue than Islamophobia in Scotland'
Conservative councillors claimed the 'abuse' hurled at the English 'minority group' is now far more common in the SNP-controlled territory of Moray, north east Scotland

āA police state goverened by corrupt officialsā.
At present there are people in Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Belarus, North Korea, and Turkmenistan staring open mouthed at that statement. If they could see it off course. Which they canāt. Because it will be censored. Which is exactly how a Real Police state operates, not the fantasy one you have constructed in your head.
Or an attempt to win over floating voters with hate rhetoric in the lead up the the May elections.
Iām not saying these things didnāt happen, but theyāre 100% a spin on it for votes. There are arseholes everywhere that hurl y abuse that donāt make headlines

It's been obvious from the outset Spain would reject Scottish independence due to the Basque region in their own country. Remember it takes all nations to take in a new member. Plus we have the currency issue. The woman is myopic, bonkers. She once said she'd been dreaming of Scottish Independence from the age of 13. Most 13 year old girls are probably thinking about hair, nails, make-up, boys (or girls), etc. etc. She's a bleeping weirdo.
Then there is her slagging-off Boris and Trump (don't blame her for that tbf) for being populists. Does she know what the term means? My GOD. This women's whole agenda is aimed at winding-up pig-ignorant people (not their fault). Get a life love. Geeezus.
Not sure if you picked-up on the SNP's proposal to saw an inch off all doors in schools to help ventilation (for COVID-19). LOL. Nevermind the fire-risk, a lot of Scottish schools still have asbestos in their doors etc. etc. You really couldn't make it up. Ok, I get some scottish people hate the English etc. etc. But come on, the woman is nuts.
ps. How is this woman still leader of SNP? Don't they have a minimum 4 year term or something? She's like Putin with Haggis instead of Nukes. Nutcase.

Or maybe this is an attempt by the media to dismiss what most people who want Scottish independence, as Anti English. I am very sceptical about these articles. I personally have campaigned for Scottish independence and will continue to do so. I donāt hate england. I actually love some parts of england. I love my English friends and i hate the way the word independence is such a dirty word like it automatically means we hate English people. Thatās what the tories and Westminster want people to think. Itās ridiculous. Also do people not realise that if (when 
) Scotland becomes independent the SNP will not be the snp anymore and we will have many other parties to choose from? Youāre going to see a lot of these daft articles coming soon to try and drum up sympathy for these poor English people that have been abused in Scotland. Aye right, we are one of the most welcoming nations in the world. We just want to be governed by the party we (continuously) voted for- not Westminster.
