thplinth Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Shetland may reconsider its place in Scotland after yes vote, says Carmichael (i.e. not Shetland). It is not even a proper scare story FFS. They are knackered. Time to put them out of our misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 They clearly dont know we were armed ages ago with the wee blue book Q: “But what happens if Orkney and Shetland decide to stay in the UK, or to become independent themselves?” A: Orkney and Shetland are legally part of Scotland, and no more entitled to their own “local” referendum result than Falkirk or Peterhead or Sauchiehall Street. They could form an independence movement and campaign for a referendum on either independence or rejoining the UK, but no such movement currently exists. But even if they did, international maritime law would consider them to be what are known as “enclaves”, as their territory would be entirely within that of Scotland. That would mean the islands were only entitled to a 12-mile limit from their shores, and no significant amount of oil is found within those areas.
