What effect would scottish independence have on the UK tree industry?

Increasingly I think it would be a terrible shame to loose what exists on these islands especially now the Irish Republic and the UK have settled their differences, how ironic if another fractious dispute were to flair up to replace it.

was this no meant to be about the effect on the tree industry? seems to be just a political argument now.

Indeed, but we left that behind long ago.

 

Besides, it's a big issue and I think it's been debated honestly and sensibly on here, more so than anywhere else I've seen.

 

So in that respect, the people on here I think have collectively put the politicians to shame.

Sorry Mr fergusontreesurgery but I did try to keep it on subject for a while, then gave up. But as long as the curent debate on the wider political issues is open-minded, constructive and good-natured I think it is dong no harm to let it run.

 

Any contributions on the effect of independence on the industry welcome anytime though.

Rubbish, England, Wales and Northern Ireland will still be united and continue to be the UK, its just that Scotland will have left.

 

We are probably just arguing semantics but surely if someone leaves a union it is not the same union anymore, and even if it is still an union it might want to revisit its branding. Starting with Queendom, to move with the times.

 

Again, I am just being playful, but with some sort of subconscious point.

Perhaps Skyhuck is not a fan of the Tattie Scone which would be compulsory every morning if the border was moved that far south.
