In 30 years time Salmond will be long dead and the North Sea oil will have run out. Unless Scotland magically comes up with some other means of funding itself then independance will be a death sentence for them.

They were planning to use Alex Salmond to fund independance? How would that have worked?

if it happened in north america or the EU they'd quarantine the areas and the people inside would be super pissed but likely understanding mostly.

maybe in Europe because they're used to their governments telling them what to do.

Bullshit.

In Europe we have functional health systems and governments that understand that violent force is not the appropriate response to disease.

But frankly, you're also ignoring what's been actually happening: such an ambassador catching Ebola in one country, knowingly returning to another (via air travel), then staying in a hotel without telling anyone being treated in secret by a doctor, who also doesn't tell anyone, goes home, and spreads it to his wife.

Queue a couple 1000 potentially infected, by a vector which would be utterly missed due to plain old corruption and idiocy.

But that's exactly what as already happended and lead to 21 cases and 7 deaths, not a world wide pandemic.
