Go broke
Independence for Scotland is NOT separation. Brexit was separation! Long live the future Republic of Scotland.
They would look at us as four nations of equals and a country of neibours who served to assist each other for over three hundred years and when push comes to shove pulled together, Yet the Uk Goverments of the day hoodwinked the whole country for the Elite and establishments gains over alll

serves labour right… they brought about devolution to try to create a labour power house in the north…. and now they've instead completely lost the North totally… and maybe broken the UK.
Hahahahaha Scotland electing a Labour government 🤣🤣🤣🤣 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NEVER….unless they fight for independence then they will probs kill the snp
What would the UK do without Scotland = NOT EXIST.
Are we forgetting that the UK originally was made by a SCOT. A union between our crown, and the English Crown. The English owned Wales, so really it's a part of England.
Who owns this channel?
Re-drawing centuries old boundaries in the 1990’s just sums up how Scotland has been treated by Westminster.
The government should be less concerned about oil and more about the insanely huge potential for renewables in Scotland and the control and endless stream of income that will provide as we move into the future.
We voted No and we'll vote no gain
Would it be a poorer country? Yes, would it be more right wing? No
Am using this for a country report,🤪
What would the UK do without Scotland? Breath a sigh of relief!
I think the better question would be 'What would Scotland do wothout the UK' Lol
Be little England same as it always has been. Last two words relevant.
Get rid of Tories and they may change their minds. For the many not the few.
4:38 says it all really !!!
Wish they would just leave and let England have its independence
It was our freedom to start with so bite the bullet and give our freedom back
Declare bankcrupcy within 3 😁month
If they leave then we should take all of our stuff with us. NHS, army, protection and national influence.
England won WW2 never mind all the other countries who kept your glorious nation free hope you are going to win WW3 what can go wrong Boris and Trumpet
England brought this on themselves by voting Tory. Bye.
The UK is not a fucking country. My country is Scotland. England is foreign to me. I like visiting England but I do not feel like it is in anyway part of my country. The British nationalists have stolen the English identity as much as the Scottish identity. To me British nationalism has no place for any other identity and always seeks to crush English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish identity. England voted for brexit. It should get it no matter the consequences. If Scotland doesn't get what it chooses what's the fucking point in being in an unequal partnership? England voted apparently to save a few billion but supposedly gives Scotland more. Why would it stop at brexit?
What shite is this?
That was. Made by a jock for sure!
Please Scotland. Just go. We don't need you.
And don't worry. Your population will increase 2 fold if you ever get back into the EU. All those wonderful, highly educated refugees and illegals the rest of the EU will be diverting to you. But your economy and national debt will be able to absorb them.
Winston Churchill quote “Of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind”
Whether you wish to admit it the English don’t want to let us go !, times up we’re going
The Scots gave the world nothing read your history books English tossers When we get away I’m sure you will find anther country to pillage something you English were always good at well at least it’s something. Look at the state of the world with your meddling sooner we can get away the better best of luck with Boris
And this is why I am moving to Tipperary, Ireland
