Why deny the irrefutable?
Scotland already is independent!
I actively encourage you to actually research the subject, instead of gullibly pursuing the 'official' narrative in a programmed manner.
The matter at hand is the repeal of the political and financial treaty of 1707, namely, the Act of Union, wherein articles 18 and 19 clearly state that the act is not being signed in perpetuity and the Sovereignty of both Scotland and it's equally Sovereign people is not up for grabs, then, now or at any point in the future.
England consigned the document on that understanding.
Please, desist from posting ill informed and ignorant comments on social platforms pertaining tto something you clearly know nothing about!
Forget Sturgeon and the SNP, operating out of a shared asset building, (Holyrood) unlawfully applying English parliamentary procedures, contrary to Scottish law and the Scottish Constitution.
She/they and Wastemonster have a vested interest in maintaining the farce.
That, however, does not excuse your woeful lack of familiarity with facts.
I'll leave you to your studies, hopefully resulting in you becoming wiser, as a consequence.

The vast majority of the folk in Scotland bear no ill will towards their English counterparts.
Similarly, most English folk, like yourself, feel the same about Scotland.
Unfortunately, on both sides of the border, we are cursed with the tiniest minority, all of them pathetic excuses for human beings with low IQs and high levels of inferiority complexes, that thrive on bigotry, zenophobia and racism, who are, rightly, ignored by decent, intelligent folk, especially when these imbeciles claim to be speaking for everyone.
The majority of Scots have an unabiding hatred of Wastemonster and the ruling English class.
Many English folk do, as well, however, msn, the propaganda arm of the self appointed elites, is only too happy to exploit the vitriolic bile of the brainless few, making a mountain out of a molehill and, in the process, the neanderthals imagine there are far more of them than the ragtag little gang there is, due to their gullibility.
Many of us have relatives either side of the border.
At the very least, trade will continue and folk will visit kin, etc.
Scotland will be wealthy, England will be vastly poorer and I strongly suspect many folk will relocate to Scotland, in order to give their families a better life.

@M N
Tell me, when was the divorce between you and reality finalised?
For the last twelve years, in both local and general elections, the people of Scotland have returned the SNP to government.
To have done so means the party has been elected by the majority of voters.
That's how democracy works in the real world, outside of your little world, in your head, where fantasy appears to be running rampant.
The majority of voters, North of the border, vote for the SNP, because it is part of the party's manifesto.
In other words, the majority of Scots voters would probably think you are soft in the head, unable to understand basic facts or are a barefaced liar.

Well, Eleanor's opinion has been dismissed by NS, because NS has disagreed with Eleanor's programmed opinion.
Eleanor, like all narcissists, who take any form of disagreement to their self appointed authority based, not on it being bestowed by merit, but simply on the process of osmosis, has taken it as a personal attack, as they are unable to distinguish between themselves and the stance they take, said stance being one of never being wrong, ergo above criticism.
Sadly, Eleanor never developed the ability of critical thinking, so will never progress beyond her mentally and emotionally arrested stage and is rightfully deserving of pity, as she casts about seeking reasons for umbrage, demanding apologies for imagined slights.

Thanks but no, thanks, Clark.
Scotland has suffered enough at the psycho hands of Wastemonster and a more narcissistic business partner cannot be imagined.
That, after all, is what the Act of Union 1707 is about...a political and business treaty and not, as everyone has always been led to believe, anything more than that!
Within the treaty can be found article 18 and article 19, both of which make it abundantly clear that Scotland, the country, is Sovereign, therefore independent, and has been, since the Declaration of Arbroath 1320 will always remain so and the matter was not up for discussion.
The articles further state that every man, woman and child in Scotland are Sovereigns/Leiges, therefore independent people and are subjugate only to Scottish Law.
England, in co-signing, was totally conversant with these terms.
Scotland was, is and always will be independent.
What we seek, in essence, is the annulment of the business partnership.

What I cannot understand is the view that, once free of the Union, the Scots will cleave to the SNP, as if it would be the only political party in Scotland...in perpetuity.
Most Scots see the party as a means to an end.
Granted, they carry out the will of the majority of Scots voters, in pursuing a referendum, but that, in and of itself, has always been a major part of their manifesto.
Other policies are unpopular, however, are worth suffering for the outcome of dissolution of the UK to many.
Many mistakenly believe it is an obssession of just a political party, failing to see it as the wishes of, as I said earlier, the majority of Scots voters.
It stands to reason the party would be obliged to throw their hat in the ring, along with all the others, in a GE North of the border.

Your problem, Tony, is you see a political party and assume, without putting your brain into gear, that they represent everything about Scotland, when, in fact, the one deciding factor that determines they have and will continue to be returned in govt in Scotland is that they offer the most feasible likelihood of attaining the break up of the union, which is the desire of the majority of voters in Scotland, not because we're anti England, but because we're anti Wastemonster.
You compound your error by further assuming that once the union has been broken that the people of Scotland will automatically vote the SNP into govt.
Why?
The party will have achieved the will of the majority of Scottish voters and, that having been achieved, all bets are off and they will have to take their chances with all the other parties.
Not everyone in Scotland wants to return to the EU, for example.
Does that surprise you?
It's all very well the SNP saying it's a given and there will be no need for a vote on it, however, as I said, they will have to take their chances, because the Scottish Constitution clearly states that any govt voted into power is contracted only for as long as it is the will of the people.
In other words, they are on constant probation and can be removed at a moments notice, regardless of how long they imagined they'd be in office, to be replaced by a govt better suited to the wishes of the people.
Scotland, the country, is Sovereign.
Every man, woman and child are also Sovereigns/Lieges.
The govt is not.
The govt is subjugate to the people, who are the highest authority in the land.
The English monarchy is also subject to the will of the Scottish people and reigns on invite, not over Scotland, the land, but over the people, who, like the govt, can be given a P45, if that is the will of the people.
So, in short, not the Scottish govt, the English govt or the monarchy have the lawful right to dictate to the people of Scotland, who are the highest authority in Scotland.
We will decide who governs in Scotland and for how long!
That is how democracy works.
The people in England have the Magna Carta 1215, so could easily mirror Scotland to a degree, under Common Law, but few of the people are aware of the authority it gives them.
As is said: Knowledge is power.

England, owning only 5% of the oil and gas fields in the North Sea, outright, could survive for a short while on their own resources.
We could easily up our renewable electricity output from it's current 80% to 100% and, buying more of our excess, England could get by, as we could well afford to cover much more than the South East of England's electricity needs at a fraction of what the French are charging them.
Our own 95% of the oil and gas fields, which we don't need to use ourselves, could either be sold or left in situ, as an asset for gilts in a Scottish Central Bank.
The bank, itself, could quite easily be underpinned, using our portion of the shared assets, Holyrood included.

You appear to dislike statistics, James, preferring, rather than dealing with what they represent, undeniable facts, to resort to deflection.
Is the ability of critical thinking beyond you, that you cannot rebutt the points presented by ScottishRoss?
Has it not occurred to you that in refusing to engage on these points that you are, inadvertently, presenting the opportunity to have said lists posted, again and again, for more and more readers to ponder, undermining your own case, in the process?
I guess not.
Smh and lol.
