Staying in the EU is nonsense
It just does not make sense for the SNP to keep complaining that, as part of the UK, they do not have all the fiscal levers needed to help the economy, while all the while they are determined to stay/become part of the EU if Scotland becomes independent, especially in the light of Frau Merkel's most recent comments in which she stated that the EU should have "real rights to intervene in national budgets". Which of those seven rather frightening words does Alex Salmond not understand? Is it only unacceptable to the SNP when England intervenes in Scottish affairs but it's OK if Europe does it? Who would you rather have sticking an oar into our budget - England or Germany? Calton would rather have the former any day of the week. If our First Minister truly wants independence he needs to go for our own bank and our own currency and stay out of the EU. Anything else is just nonsense.

Thankyou for commenting. Please be aware that Calton does not have a lot of time to spend either moderating or responding to comments so it may take a day or two for your comment to appear and you won't necessarily get a reply. Disagree by all means but keep it civil - abusive or unpleasant comments will be deleted.

Couldn't agree more! That, and the dictatorial attitude of the current Scottish Government, which is willing to ride, rough-shod, over the clearly-expressed views of 66% of respondents to its "consultation" (does Mr Salmond understand that particular concept?!) on the proposed redefinition of marriage, are enough to make this resident vote "No" to an independence that will be anything but independent!
