Independence for Scotland must surely be followed by independence for Pimlico.

They have at least made a film about the latter.

Im not blaming the english ,its the UK parliment that is broken .The scottish government has shown over its 2 terms it can do better and if we can control things like the crazy immigration system ( or no system) we could even better.

Immigration within the European Onion is effectively uncontrollable, and that accounts for 95%+ of immigration into the UK. So unless Scotland is planning on leaving the EU, there is ****-all that an independent Scottish government could do about immigration!

Germany,France and Italy didnt allow these new EU member states from Eastern Europe ,Czech Rep ,the Baltic states to migrate into their countries until 2011 (Germany 1 May 2011) and still havent agreed on Romania and Bulgaria.The UK agreed from kick-off in 2005 for these new members to migrate and the same now with Romania and Bulgaria,so it is controlable .Having said that according to Cameron Scotland may have to re-apply for EU membership if we get the Yes vote ,I personally think we would be better out of it .
