The UK fisheries bill is something you should read and understand.
You clearly don't.

Irrelevant, because I'm sure that Scotland would not vote for independence from the UK, or if they did they'd soon be coming back begging to rejoin England!

How do you feel about the Barnett Formula?
I assume that you would, given the chance, refuse to accept the payments!

Regarding the link I posted earlier it should be noted that it was regarding conservation - and specifically in UK Overseas Territories (so nothing to do with Scotland, Reality1) :
"UK exceeds target of protecting 4 million sq km of ocean in the Overseas Territories"
In fact with the latest Marine Protection Zone the UK has created protected waters for over 1% of the entire world's oceans.
That is one hell of an acheivement.

As for Scottish independence, I don't think it will ever happen. The vociferous Scots like to whinge and shout about Scotland becoming independent, but if push came to shove I'm absolutely sure that the majority of Scots would vote once again, in a future 'once in a generation'(!) referendum, to remain in the UK.
Even if they did vote for, and achieve independence, that would be to everyone's benefit (except for the Scots!).

The loudest Scots in places like this are always the ScotsNats; the average, sensible Scot doesn't usually need to have much of a say because the ScotsNats do a great job of proving how unlikely their arguments are when they - as usual - deceive, misdirect and exaggerate.

That is the tactics of the SNP and the ScotsNat.
Distract, misinform and try to create division in the desperate hope that they can so sway public opinion south of the border that they get another bite of the cherry, even though they still do not have the comfortable majority they really need at home.
It's sickening.
