If you can prove me wrong then feel free however, I don't see how we could sustain our own economy when we don't have much of our own industry. Sure, we have the North Sea Oil but there is not a chance in hell that Westminster is going to roll over and allow us to take that in its entirety, they are going to be wanting a share in that.

Plus we would end up on the Euro, and look at Southern Ireland and the disaster there!

We also have some of the highest rates of alcoholism, heart disease etc etc in Europe, and unless we are going to suddenly magic a whole lot of money from somewhere, how are we supposed to cope with that without the assistance of Westminster?

And do we really want to have the issue of having to show our passports everytime we go to Carlisle?

Like I say, if you can prove me wrong then I am willing to listen to the otherside of the coin, I just personally can't see how we can sustain an independence. And I am not sure I want us to have to fail before we find that out....(PS - I am Scottish, and I am patriotic but I just don't agree with independence.)
