So we can live long shitty lives as a colony without the basic right to determine our own future? Do you get the government you voted for? If you don’t how would you change it? Would you deny that right to others?

I think it's very clear that if offered the option to control borders, laws and money Hurricane-run would say "no, no I don't want that".

I’m waiting for the “what currency would you use”, bearing in mind the Bank of England was started by a Scot, HSBC etc, we have previous with groats and bawbees.

My understanding is that the real currency problem with ScotIndy would not be "which currency" but when?

If Westminster says "we withdraw support for you using GBP as of day one of independence" then it's one hell of a negotiation leverage.

Makes you wonder what would have happened in Brexit if we had adopted the Euro back in 1999.
