but that stop clock said, he will leave (this chat site) if he was wrong....everyone had a chance to call he buff , and no body did it

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day.

it's on BBC ,it's on 10pm news and other local BBC news programs...BBC in Australia, is BBC world News, i'm not sure how big and world interesting some local protests is ? to you it is i guess

the picture you paint of Scotland using something like Gibraltar dispute as a bargaining chip, is a very really scenario, along with many other Anti-English and Anti-American move, It's why no Australian Government will ever support an independent Scotland with the way SNP is run today..When Australian PM Tony Abbott open he mouth said "independent Scotland is not a benefit to the world" Abbott stated exactly what the Australian government thinks, and when I say Australian government, I don't mean the the political government in power today or tomorrow, I mean all the men and women who work in the various Australian government departments and agencies..The truth is, Australia would work actively , to undermined Scottish independence in it's present state

independent Scotland doesn't have to be view as bad for Australia, It could be view as neutral to Australia, as you have developed Nation involved, that not only democratic , but has the same legal system as Australia...But SNP almost believe they have a right to do what ever they want :lol:

so much sour grapes

That would be the issue.

He did and fair play to him. But he has carried on like a knob as he usually does.

To be fair credit should be given where credit is due.

Called it early and called it correctly.

you speak for everybody do you?

Wrote it very quickly on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I think I put in an appropriate amount of effort and I enjoyed writing it. One post compared to pages of troll posts. I and everyone else here knows who's "trying too hard" ;)

you're trying too hard

Surely this thread is ricecrackers mkIII's magnum opus. I'm sorry I won't be alive many many years in the future when his obituary reads

Because you never have an opinion for fear of it being wrong lol.

Go ricey go :lol:

I've made no definitive statement about the size of the riots.

Its ricecrackers . he knows everything

How could you know it's not?

-PB

Are you there? How could you possibly know that?

Are you watching live? If it's on the site surely it's seconds away from having a story filed on TV. It's surely on the ticker.

Looks pretty small tbh.

These are fair points, in fact they are all criticisms I had of the "Yes" Campaigns White paper. I'd rather see Scotland adopt the Euro, despite its flaws, as keeping the pound whilst England sets monetary policy is ridiculous and the EU won't take no for an answer. As for the schengen zone vs common travel area, it was never made clear but it would be a tough sell either way. I think that in order to keep a somewhat good relationship with the UK, there would be an avenue to keep the status quote. Isolating communities benefits no one.

And yes, the Spanish government are losing their mind trying to shut down independence campaigns from the Basque and Catelonians. Maybe they could come to an agreement where Scotland publicly supports the return of Gibraltar to Spain.theres always possibilities

You're welcome to join us in the 21st century any time.

nothing on the television

eventually they'll be forced to cover it, but why so late to the game

Currently 2nd story on the UK page after post election Ministerial position reshuffles.

look at the masked hooded ones, you know they're up to no good

more coverage on social media than actual accredited media

Meanwhile riots have just broken out in London and the BBC arent even covering it.
That's what happens when you set false expectations.

if countries like Australia and USA sign free trade agreements with the EU, and all the other free trade agreements Australia and USA sign with other countries , then one of UK major benefits of being part of a EU ( trade block) disappears

The UK has seen Australia, and Canada consistently grown their economies at very fast rate, and sign free trade agreements all around the world

The UK wants to take back control from EU on many things

the problem for Scotland. is they have this general belief (push by SNP) Scotland will gain automatic acceptance into the EU, the fact is a independent Scotland (after last referendum) would have seen there application to join EU veto by number of countries. Spain 100%...Scotland independent would just open a can of worms for every big country in the EU, all the unique regional zones with in the Big EU countries , would believe they have a chance of independent country with in the big framework of the EU

Now, if Scotland has some how manged to get over this giant veto hurdle, The Scotland would had zero negotiation power with the EU, Scotland would have to accept virtually everything EU wants, Fast track Schengen zone acceptance, and economic policies that lead to Euro doller...Schengen zone acceptance, would mean a Scottish English passport border , EU would not let Scotland do the same as Ireland

Now, if Uk votes out of EU, then it might be easier for Scotland to join the EU, but you will still end up with a passport boarder
