The Oil Revenue is actually less than the amount that Westminster give to Scotland annually, so any talk of oil revenue is pointless, besides most of it belongs to the Shetlands and there is no quarantee they would wish independence or if they did it is highly doubtful it would be as part of an independent Scotland, in fact the consensus is quite the opposite.
Besides Scotland would probably have to cede any claim to the oil and gas fields just to gain agreement to independence.
This is what you get when dumb people follow someone.
Rubbish.
What consensus is this you speak of? Evidence?
Shetland islands are a part of Scotland, the country gaiden, before you start that one too.
If scotland went, the isles do too. All of them. Neither are they Norways.
Also, I think the case for indpendence is just as equally a case on cultural independece.
on the subject of road signs came across the best roundabout ever on the way back today , 2 of roads had signs pointing to various town etc, then there where two roads labelled only with big signs saying "North Wales" and "south Wales" on them![]()
What if the islands don't want to be part of Scotland though?
Would be a bit hypocritical to demand your independence while forceing them to come with you/join you/stick with you.
Where hardly a big country seperating into independant states full of spastics would be absoloutly lolzys.
/Shrugs.
What if anglesey doesn't want to be apart of wales?
Neither am I demanding anything, Tefal.

Shetlanders are just as entitled to their independece as Scotland. They have been making noises for a few years for semi-autonomy followed by independence, as they were prior to 1469. Most Shetlanders no more see themselves as Scottish as Alex Salmond does British.
