I know there is a Scottish contingent on TM so with all the talk going on since the SNP got power in the Scottish Parliament, how well do people think Scotland would have done through the pandemic if it were not for the furlough scheme formulated by the British Gov't?
Also, If an independent Scotland managed to somehow re-join the EU, there would have to be a border at Hadrians Wall to prevent free movement from the EU to the UK via Scotland. Do the Scottish people understand and accept this?
Independence would also have a profound effect on Britains ability to defend itself from invasion and will always be a sticking point.
In principle I want everyone to choose their own destiny but unlike Cataluna, I think Scotland would struggle to qualify for Europe and the Euro so they need to think carefully about what they wish for.
All just my opinion but this has gained legs recently and I'm interested to see what the general consensus might be on TM

Hadrians wall is not on the border between England and Scotland! On the East coast its about 60 miles South of the border, so you've just given away Alnwick, Lindesfarne etc etc the best bits of England.

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Simple.....get Trump in, build a new wall, Scotland pays. I think that's the theory.

SORRY, MY BAD!
Can the moderators move it or delete it if it is too contentious for TM?

Just PM the moderators - Simon (Talkmorgan) and request a move ..
I think this subject is best left to our resident Scottish brothers and sisters as it is they that have the knowledge and true feelings on the matter imho.
I wouldn't like to see them break away but that's not the point.
