@ApostateEnglishman @burnoutqueen @Shivviness @steviesyerda We can't join the #Euro unless we first have our own currency, which currently we don't; and two complete changes of currency within a decade is not likely to be popular.

However, I think it's highly unlikely that #Scotland would be allowed back into the #EU unless we at least promised to join the Euro.

@Shivviness @steviesyerda Economic blockade and sanctions would hurt, of course. But they wouldn't make life in Scotland impossible. On the contrary, we can operate on our own resources pretty well -- although there would of course be things we would miss.

We couldn't defend ourselves from a military invasion by the combined #capitalist powers of the world, but that wouldn't inevitably happen.

Oh, we're not calling it "Protest" any more but "Anti Migrant unrest"....which kinda makes it sound like it's the Migrant's fault, and not that of the White People harassing them?

In case anyone's wondering what's going on at Holyrood lately: the unionist parties wanted to keep the Murrell outrage cycle going, so tabled a motion demanding a full inquiry into SNP finances. (Bear in mind that a three year long criminal investigation into exactly that has just concluded.)

The @ScottishGreens then tabled an amendment that the enquiry covers the finances of ALL political parties, which passed, and the unionists are FUMING.

I wonder why?
