An independent Scotland would find itself at the back of the queue to get into the EU, David Cameron claimed today. The Prime Minister said Scotland would have to wait its turn behind Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro before it would be readmitted. Mr Cameron's provocative remarks come after the Scottish Tories announced that they now backed full income tax powers for the Edinburgh Government - if the country voted to stay in the United Kingdom. David Cameron told workers at an electrical goods warehouse in Newark that Scotland would not automatically get back into the EU if it left the UK. He said the country would have to apply like every other country
