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.Originally posted by Bunk View PostAnd you think the English aren't?I'm Spartacus.Comment

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.Originally posted by Spartacus View PostOnly if both states (independent / not independent) can co-exist, old chap, which clearly they can't.
Irrespective of what the article was about you seem incapable of grasping simple arithmetical concepts.Comment

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

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

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.Comment
