As far as Scotland goes, I don't understand their worrying about finances. Doesn't Scrooge McDuck live there?

He emigrated from Scotland as a poor honest hardworking duckling.


Turned out his wealth will not be needed by a new nation called Scotland.

It's still interesting hearing the debates, followed shortly afterwards by the afterthoughts, arguing, fighting, promises of another referendum sometime. Then everyone gets pissed, reconsiled, arms arround each other singing Flower of Scotland then start fighting over who's turn it is to buy the next round.

I wonder what would happen if the Scots organised a referendum without asking the English. A snap poll instead of two and a half years of rambling on and on and on.

People say it's the other way round, that per head more money flows North to South. Any more of these damn wind-farms and it will cease to be of relevence. We'll break away from the UK and drift slowly into the sunset........
