According to the Torygraph, should the Shetland vote be No, they may be looking at separating from Jockland themselves.
As we know, Shetland can lay claim to a lot of the oil. That should give Salmon squeeky pants.

Should the Yes vote win, the necessary arrangements about how Jockland will separate won't be undertaken entirely by Salmon. The rest of the UK still hold the keys and the bank book. Should the Shetlands decide they wish to stay in the UK, I'm sure that will have to be discussed in greater depth.
There is absolutely no support for this in Shetland but if they did stay in the UK, under international law they would lose the oil.
Greater depth? Fat Alex gets pushed out of the back of Chinook into the North Atlantic. Leave him for 30 minutes if he floats the Shetlands stay Scottish, if he sinks then the rest of the UK get it. Discussion concluded.

That's a total waste of resources when there's sinkholes to be filled up there ^^^^.
Leaving Scotland.
I take it from your post that you don't like the Telegraph "Torygraph" You don't like Scotland "Jockland" or Mr Salmon "Salmon squeeky pants" but you are a fan of Shetland as you haven't referred to it as "Sheepland"

There is no such thing as "international law". There's only treaties, agreements, and conventions.
Funny the Shetlands were one of the biggest No votes when there is no support for staying in the UK.
That's the trouble with the Yes people, the only people that talk to them are more Yes supporters so they get the false impression that everyone wants Yes.
Its quite common, the same happens with UKIP and just about every vocal campaign.

Er no. UKIP can read opinion polls as well as the next man, and the ratio of 'inners to outers' as far as the EU goes is pretty similar to the inners versus outers in Scotland.
Salmond used unpleasant tactics to bully when rational explanation of what an exit would mean was not possible, because there wasn't one. The reverse is true in terms of an EU exit: the scare is all coming from EUphiles, and the reasoned arguments are all for exit.
From UKIPs point of view a referendum that they would lose is not an option. That means the debate has to go on, and quiet rational explanation has to be the way to bring the understanding of the failure of current political structures and parties - of which the EU is the prime example - to the people. In heaths government we were never aware of the enormous impact joining the 'common market; would have. Today, thanks to the internet and a zillion digital TV channels, we are aware that BREXIT would be a game changing moment, and is not something to be gulled out of stupid nationalistic populations on a whim.
Nothing is easier to promise what you cant deliver as that fat f*ck demonstrated.. Nothing is harder than to do the mass of impact calculations and work out which of two possible alternative decisions carries the higher benefit to cost ratio and what the risks are.
UKIPs work is focussed on that project. In the meantime it is trying to achieve change at local level wherever it has local councillors in place.
Winning elections is one thing, knowing what to do afterwards is something a lot harder.
In your opinion. Many think the exact reverse.
It's interesting that the Shetlands and the Orkneys are the most remote areas from England and Westminster (and from Edinburgh), yet they share with Borders and Dumfries & Galloway (the nearest to England and Westminster) in being in the highest group of NO voters. {For convenience, select 'sort by NO'.]
Edinburgh didn't seem to keen either - and since the existing parliament which would be enlarged is there must know something.
Hard lessons on runaway public spending, current Parly building was about 2
0 times original budget and is falling apart, our tram line works out at ar ound 1,000,000 quid a meter, in an independent Scotland everyone would have a job , working for the government....
That was a vote for Scotland staying in the UK, not a vote for Shetland staying in the UK when Scotland leaves. The latter scenario has absolutely no support in Shetland.
