[Closed] How would you become Scottish?

A vast majority of those living south of the border would gladly see Salmond & Surgeon and their acolytes float free into the North Sea.

Presumably not the same majority who voted for a government formed by the Conservative and Unionist Party?

Shame the money flow is actually the other way for almost all of the last 40 years. Money and electricity flows from Scotland to England.

british is not an ethnic group

Not sure about that. I think the British are probably an ethnic group including Welsh, possibly Cornish and south western Scots. Not including English, Picts, Celts of Irish or north western Scots origin, Vikings, Norman’s or othersundry hangers on, invaders and recent arrivals.
It it used colloquially to mean the United Kingdomers excluding certain folk in Northern Ireland but including certain others.

Roughly.

And frankly, who cares.

A vast majority of those living south of the border would gladly see Salmond & Surgeon and their acolytes float free into the North Sea.

How do the same voters that you speak for feel about Wales and Northern Ireland, and thier now retired First Ministers?

For what I remember the Scottish parliament said you had to be within Scotland for 5 years.

But you don’t live in England. A vast majority of those living south of the border would gladly see Salmond & Surgeon and their acolytes float free into the North Sea. Then we could stop funding the Hibernian money pit.

You didn't originally say that they had to be in England.
So you would carve away parts of the UK even if the people that live in those areas didn't want to be cut loose?

You know 4 years ago when we voted, I was staunchly against Indy from a social cohesion point of view. I though we were all pulling in generally the same direction. I have effectively been left with egg on my face, as your narrow mindedness wasn't what I thought was the prevalent view.

All interesting stuff...I was a Remain but now a definite Leaver from the Union (but I also voted to remain in the EU).
Saying that though, I do wonder about the claims about the oil and gas - who will own them when we go independent? How will water territories be determined? Plenty others but if it does all go the way the very-pro-independent people claim then England will be pretty humped - which is unlikely to happen.
As to the original question - move here and by default you qualify (may require a minimum period of time though) - it is as easy as that.

Dick - My understanding is that the oil fields are already either Scottish or english - and there are international treaties describing how to carve up the continental shelf. There was a realignment of the border a few years ago which moved some bits from Scotland to England and this area will be disputed but its a very small part of it.

I'm amazed at how many Scots now live in England & vice versa. In the prison I was in there was a fair few Jockanese screws & every time we go to Scotland we seem to come across lots of Englanders whov'e moved there. They usually have pubs, shops or post offices. 'Ooh look pet, this looks like a nice local inn with a good menu for drinks & food'.........'Awwrite mayte, wot can I getcha'?

Use same rule as island of Ireland.
Anyone born on the island of Britain can apply of Scot (EU) passport.
