Why would an independent Scotland wish to join the EU?

Hi

Firstly, I would have wished to write this in Scots to further our own culture, and dispel the myth that Scots is a language of the uneducated.. obviously when we are *only* taught English in school and given the impression that English is 'correct' by our own academia on impressionable minds of 5yo and up.. as adults we are left with the impression that English is the intelligent language and Scots for NEDS. All such thought does is destroy our own culture and curb us by ourselves into destruction as a peoples.. we should end English being taught in Schools and begin Scots as our Standard language alongside Gaelic.

That being said, for broad appeal and so others who are not Scots can read this, let's discuss the points.

::::::::::

Scots who wish to leave the EU do it for a specific purpose, they wish to curb immigration to increase jobs and industry. This is a noble concern, and I completely understand where they are coming from, however those days are gone..

These days everything is global with good reason, if say.. you begin an industry and pour a country's wealth into starting said industry, this *might* work for a year or two.. but then any other country, specifically China will come along and do it better for cheaper. And so you have lost that fortune you pumped into that industry.

No, the only way to maintain an industry is to have a prestige country for that particular product.. Scottish Scotch.. French Wine/Brandy.. Swiss Chocolate.. German Sausages.. Belgian Steak.. Italian Dairy/Bread.. Norwegian Beer*..

Any other country that produces said products is instantly seen as inferior, as the prestige lays in origin.

The best way is to trade over borders without tariffs.. this makes trade seamless.

Creating jobs isn't as easy as it was in the 1960's.. why??

Because the 'UK' was poor.. so like China we were the poor ones working for lower living standards than the rest of the First World.

And actually this mindset has continued with teeny tiny houses that aren't fit for purpose nevermind a life debt of 200-300K.

It's a total joke the rest of the First World lives in houses and we in the 'UK' especially Scotland.. live in glorified dollhouses.

The standard of living hasn't moved in Scotland since the 1850's.. sure we have more modern things, but the houses are smaller than ever, so much so they are joke and no wonder we have people emigrate for a 'better life' abroad. This and Imperialism are the two main causes for traditional Scottish emigration.

Having a job is a goal to a better life, if we accept wages that would compete with the Chinese we could not even afford to eat everyday.

:::::::::

Being in the 'UK' is *designed* to make us financially strong, however due to endless streams of corrupt Imperialists, Scotland is hanging on to the claim of being a First World country by a thread, when in fact I see us closer to a Second World country.

This can only get worse as trade with Europe declines.

Where does all the money go?

To feed the rich. If that is too vague allow me to be specific.

English politicians come into office in Westminster, they then play the system.

How?

They will have rich relatives and friends who are in certain industries, whether it be war or banking, it doesn't matter which industry it is, they have many ways of raiding the BoE without being held to account.

£10 Billion Contract to sell NHS land. £200 Billion contract to bomb Syria.. both given to the Capital Group et subsidiaries. Philip May is an important executive for the Capital Group.. that's Theresa May's husband.

The English are stolen from, in fact we all are from English Tory Imperialists.
The only reason we still get what we pay for in Scotland is: The SNP.
Think about it.. what Nationalists would lower themselves to corruption??
None. because that's what the Scottish Nobles did that got us into this mess in the first place.

IF.. IF as opposing parties claim the SNP has a level of incompetence.. flip sign me up! I'll take an honest person over deliberate corruption; 100 times out of 100.

The EU is NOT corrupt.. it CAN'T be by design.
Farage would have you believe it is, but because the way countries can veto what they do not like, it cannot be.

Money given out comes back, usually with interest.
So.. how is that corrupt?

We in Scotland pay 40 Billion in tax every year, excluding oil, we get back for our block grant 30- billion and Westminster pockets the rest every year.

The Barnett Formula does not account for in goings, only what the allocated budget for the 'UK' is. This does not include the billions and billions spent on needless war. That goes to companies owned by 'chums'.
