Quite a lot of Scottish people seem to think so, but are they cutting their nose off to spite their face? The Scottish first minister has stated that if he wins the vote he will want Fars Lane Nuclear ship yard dismantled and sent back to England. I wonder if he has thought that move through, because it is a little drastic.
Fars lane has 30.000 Scottish workers let’s say that each is earning an average of £250 per week. That is £28.5 million a week going into the Scottish economy. On top of that there is the fall out to the local industries that service Fars Lane.
Each week the UK government pays Scotland £26 for each of its 5.31 million people. That would go.
Scotland ownes £900 billion of the UK national debt. They have no security service and no defence of their own. These are just a few of the problems. Yes there is the North sea oil and gas...but let’s be real, it is not going to make Scotland rich it earns £6 billion a year. That wont service the interest on the £900 billion owed to England.

Be well IAN
