Perhaps the English should vote for independence, and secede from the
United Kingdom. But that would mean giving up Scottish oil....


What Scottish oil?
Draw a line at 90 degrees to the coast at the border and see where the oil
falls if it is done to international treaty.
Then you assume the Orkney isles don't want independence too.
The only thing the Scotts have is hydro electricity and far too much say in
UK politics.
