If Scotland does secede from the union ?

And their economy fails would we then have to support them much the same as we do other countries such as Pakistan and india ?

Update:

Yes agree with that Disgruntled but seriously when have we looked after our own or when is it going to happen as we have not done much for our own so far.

    Yes - because the English government/establishment is a 'ridiculous benevolent' country (aid etc) toward 'foreign countries'....as Scotland (5.2 million people) will become.

    Alex Salmond is after the eurozone bailout monies (billions+) - thats his real intention so he can 'fund Scotland'....no matter the consequences of taking eurozone bailout monies ie:...the IMF/and the ECB taking full and total control of 'all' countries internal financial policies who accept those monies....as has been proved with Greece/Ireland/Portugal and soon to be Spain and Italy.

    Its a 'shortsighted' move - and will end in 'disaster' for the scottish people long term. They then wanting too 'vote again' to 'rejoin the union'....and all the benefits it has offered the scottish people - including the benefit system that 90% rely on in one way or the other....all paid for by the english taxpayers with a very small % contributed by the scottish people.

    If Scotland wants total independence....fair enough - even though its a betrayal for the english government/peoples who have funded/supported them during our lifetimes - and as long as they can 'afford' it - and the english taxpayer is not expected to 'bail them out' at anytime in the future'.!!

    We have been the UK since the beginning of our lifetimes in this country and 100's of year before - and its a crying shame that the UK is too be 'broken-up' for the benefit of a few mindless 'fanatical scottish politicians'....they leading the scottish peoples into oblivion.

    And 'next' will be Wales....also re the above.!!

    Here you will find a step by step guide which will hopefully give you a better and deeper insight into how it is possible for you to make money from Binary Options trading https://tr.im/twcnR

    You will first need to know what exactly Binary Options trading is, whilst this may seem like common sense many people just have a vague idea of what is involved and the exact risks attached to any trade, so make sure you fully understand the difference for example between actually buying a fixed asset and trading in Binary Options as the two could not be more different.

    Next you will need to become something of an investigative journalist when you start trading in Binary Options and by this we mean you need to have a nose for a news story that is going to have a dramatic effect on whatever it is you intend to trade, and one way for you to do this is to keep fully abreast of all the daily financial news stories as this is the only way you are going to be able to make an informed decision on the movement of any Binary Options you are trading.

    If Scotland is part of the EU as well as the rest of Britain, then we will probably be required to. As well as other EU countries. Although it's difficult to say what the future of Scotland's economy would be like if it gained independence.

    I actually think the issue of Scottish Independence has been inflated in terms of importance by the media. As not all that much will change if people vote Yes in 2014. After all, both Britain and Scotland would remain as EU states with open borders between each other, and as part of a global economy.
