It’s official – an independent Scotland will not be part of the EU

If we become independent we will not be part of the EU anymore. So says the official reply from the EU to the House of Lords question.  –

Scotland will be like any other new county wanting to join.

It must apply.

It must accept the Euro. 

Spain is already saying that it will veto our membership.

So – this raises interesting thoughts – WOW -

It means an external EU Border going along Hadrian’s Wall between England and Scotland.

Passports and strict controls

The EU would demand strict border control to prevent unwanted migrants and terrorists from entering the EU

Imagine some of the inanities

Only being allowed to cross with limited amounts of alcohol and cigarettes

Only being allowed to cross with new purchases of up to £390 without paying Vat or Duty

What about movement of animals?

What about someone who lives on one side of the border but who works on the other side of the border as must happen in Berwick on Tweed

Or an employer with employees on the other side

What if your nearest hospital or school is on the other side of the border

What if your nearest supermarket is on the other side
And
If I pop on a flight from Edinburgh to London I will have to go in the queue for Non EU citizens and the rest of the world
and 
If I get a train from Edinburgh to Kingcross - what will happen? Will it have to stop at the border while passport control and cutoms come round

Etc etc etc – Madness
