But what if the rest of England refused Londoners the use of your super dooper new airport? And somebody blows up Heathrow?

Disaster for the London economy, the whole things collapses and we end up building a big wall around the M25 and turn the whole of London into a maximum security prison for the whole of the UK.

Just one rule, once you go in, you don't come out.

And then what would happen if a plane carrying the Prime Minister crashed inside the prison whilst he was on the way to a nuclear summit in Iran, and his speech was the only thing that might avert global thermo-nuclear war???

What would you do then??????????????????


You see, you see , you haven't thought it through ha ha ha ha ha ha........................NURSE

On Scotlands independence, heres something to think about before the vote.

Do we really want Scotland to have its own entry in the Eurovision Song Contest?

Probably beat the English one hands down - everything else does

I keep trying to work out the implications of different results for this referendum. My main hope is a resounding defeat for the Yes camp, wouldn't this enable us to park for issue for a generation or more? If it was a narrow defeat, what would stop the SNP calling another one in the following Scottish Parliament (presuming they win a majority)? Finally, how would a No vote affect the SNP and Salmond's future? Could they continue without the independence issue?

I guess any win would mean independence within 5 to 10 years?

The ESC is a political / back slapping event is it not? So, Yes. They probably would do better than England.

But then again, as I say every year -- Who cares?

If Scotland were to leave the UK, I wonder how the UK debt pile would be divided. Surely they won't get away with it Scot free

Maybe they should just have the RBS and HBOS debt, as Alex Salmond was so proud of them - Link

With RBS and HBOS - two of the world's largest banks - Scotland has global leaders today, tomorrow and for the long-term.

Our national Debt is over £1 Trillion

Scolands GDP is £137 Billion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotlan...infrastructure

UK GDP is £1.2 Trillion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy...United_Kingdom

Since Scotland contrubutes 15% to UK GDP, it is only fair if it takes on 15% of UK National Debt!
