I don't think you're reading my posts. I've said a few times now that the main concern would be England squeezing us long-term. There is absolutely no doubt they will attempt to do this.

DiegoDiego Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 After the last indy ref Scotland became a bit of a laughing stock in the world for shiteing it, met people from other countries that left the UK and they couldnt fathom why we didnt. I was in Ghana at the time and to a man anyone who spoke to me about independence thought we were mental for trying to leave the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero doubt that a Yes vote would return the biggest perty this nation has ever seen. The streets would be filled with people celebrating and crying with joy, cars peeping their horns, people hanging out their windowsills. Even soft no voters would be very quickly swept up in the euphoria as a nation rejoices, it would be utterly irresistible. A stark contrast to the No vote of 2014 which resulted in a terrible, gloomy atmosphere and small groups of vile Scottish gammons taking to the streets to cause trouble. Aye, what would happen is ten years after independence there would be virtually no unionists left, it would be a niche belief held by soley crackpots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil is massive yet has been being 'squeezed' by the USA for half a century. Brazil is still an independent country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 4 minutes ago, TheJTS98 said: Yeah. And when the EU isn't around anymore? When will be EU no longer be around exactly? Who knows if England will even be around then, at least in current form? Independence or more significant devolution for London could be the next big issue for an rUK, places like Yorkshire may move to demanding significant autonomy too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada isn't. Why hasn't the US invaded Canada? Why does Canada have a higher standard of living than the USA? Why does Canada conduct the majority of its trade with the USA despite there being a hard border between the two? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Have you ever heard of 'democratic peace theory'? No two democracies have ever gone to war in human history. Never, not once, anywhere in the world at any period in history. This is why this is utter pish right from the get-go. It doesn't even merit discussion. More pish from you. Its been happening from Athens vs Syracuse in 415 BC to Armenia vs Azerbaijan in 2020 AD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you wasted a good chunk of time desperately scrabbling for something to prove me wrong though. I must be absolute box office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was academia who told me, back when I studied international relations. It's first year stuff. Do you subscribe to Fukuyama's End of History theory as well? Nobody needs to scrabble to prove you wrong, you drag your arse across this forum making a tit of yourself on a daily basis. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case you have summarily failed, so well done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
