You Won't Catch Me I'm Part Of The Union

Unlike a few of my fellow Nationalists I despise and hate the Marxists and the SNP who want to break up the United Kingdom - contrary to what they say this would make all four Union Countries weaker and poorer in both our pockets and hearts, when ever a Scotsman and an Englishman argue it is a fight between two brothers and god help any foreign git that steps in to the fray (I personally have seen this happen once in Spain and the poor Spaniard was at a complete loss and couldn't understand how we could fight one moment and party together the next), we all take the mickey out of each other and we argue but when threatened we all come together as one big family which is only right as we are all of the same race.

A cost of "independence"

For folks like me, aside from the facts that

(a) we don't want to turn the rest of the UK into a foreign country; and

(b) the numbers (now endorsed by the SNP) show that Scotland would be, at best, no better economically out of the Union than in it;

...one of the things that is bothersome is the inevitable and unnecessary costs of duplicating stuff that is currently done on a shared basis through the UK.

It occurred to me that it ought to be relatively easy to get a handle on the numbers for one aspect of this, namely diplomatic representation: embassies, consulates and the like.

Let us look at some facts.

As part of the UK, we are represented abroad by 261 embassies, high commissions, consulates and so on.

The total FCO budget seems to be around £1.7bn. So, very crudely, dividing one number by the other (and ignoring the fact that not all the costs are associated with the embassies and so on) the cost per overseas mission is £6.5m. Of which Scotland's share (at around 8.5%) is only £550k per mission, for a total of £144.5m.

For comparison, Ireland has only 75 missions abroad. Applying the same methodology, the Irish DFA costs €207m, or £178m - £2.6m per mission.

So, Irish embassies, consulates and so on are cheaper than British ones. Not surprising - not only will they be in less grand and expensive premises, but they will be more lightly staffed and less effective. After all, the smaller and more insignificant a country is, the less the rest of the world cares what it thinks - and so the less point there is in that country paying people to explain what it thinks!

The point is, of course, that Scotland currently gets representation by 261 missions abroad for £144.5m. An "independent" Scotland would, like Ireland, have to pay £34m more to achieve less than 30% of the representation it currently gets. (Oh I know, "independent" Scotland ought to be entitled to 8.5% of the embassy estate. This would no doubt be expressed as a cheque for the capital value, offset by the rental of a couple of portakabins in the embassy grounds until the new Scottish diplomats found new digs.)

Now these are only small numbers, but they are illustrative. Multiply these sort of effects across the health, education and social security systems and suddenly you're into billions. And as the saying goes, "A billion here and a billion there, and before you know it you're talking real money."

Divorce is an expensive business."

The truth of the whole fiasco is that we have a disenfranchised republican minority in Scotland that could not give a monkey's about the state that Scotland would be in if it left the union, these are the same people that never spoke out against Scottish Watch (an organisation set up to terrorise anyone not Scottish and to do anything literally to keep Scotland ethnically clean) and are so anti English that they snub the Queen when on state visits (and yet they call The BNP racist lol).

So a message to all my fellow nationalists "Together we are strong - apart we are nothing".
