    And you think the English aren't?

      No, not at all, but the English aren't the ones agitating to break up the union. That a majority of non-Scots are sanguine about Scotland leaving the union is largely because many of the English are sick of Scottish moaning about what a rough deal they're getting. The "if you don't like it then f-off" principle.

        WTF are you on about? You mentioned £500 quid but the survey was done with a difference of £1000 as no opinion was gathered on opinion considering no loss or gain.

        Irrespective of what the article was about you seem incapable of grasping simple arithmetical concepts.

          Ah, the last resort of the scoundrel... attack the man not the message.

          The report linked from provides that data (Yes 40% / No 60%)

          The point still remains, this survey suggests that for those interviewed Scottish principles are shallow and easily bought.

            Or that a £1000 difference in their finances is significant, as it would be for many people.

              Sir, can you please explain to me under what circumstances an individual would see a £1,000 shift in their finances from the current state?

              As you pointed out, I am a thick twunt so please take me through it slowly.

                  First paragraph.

                  Scottish Independence Poll - September 2013


                  That compares favourably with the Ipsos MORI poll for the period to 3rd August 2014 (Yes 40% / No 54%).

                    I said no such thing.

                    Edit: Well, not recently that I can think of.

                      Lets say they have £5,000 at the moment. If they end up £500 better off, they now have £5,500. If they end up £500 worse off, they now have £4,500.

                      If someone is asked whether they would prefer to have £4,500 or £5,500, they're considering a £1,000 difference.
