It would be great if everyone stopped saying England. Wales and NI would love to be included being that they make up about 6 million or so people as part of the UK.
No we wouldn't, we have what is called a diverse economy, look at it like biodiversity, when one species dies out another similar species will fulfil it's role this is the triumph that Scotland has, our economy is extremely diverse for such a small nation more so than any other country on the planet.
Scotlands ONSHORE GDP (meaning without oil) per head is £300 a year less than the rest of the UK.
However you would believe that we are in a quite unique situation that we cannot possibly cope.
You are in cleaveland it would appear, in America, Do you have any regrets about the past when your ancestors FOUGHT for independence from British rule?
