    Any Scot voting No deserves all they get.

    This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to run your own country as you see fit.

    Christ, I wish there was an English independence vote to ditch London and Westminster

      It is as clear as day.
      Absolute nonsense.

        Scotland may be more socialist but, if the majority of the population back it, it can work.

        Norway has a more "socialist" economy (or one with a more liberal capitalism as this chap more accurately describes it but they do rather well.

        On the other hand when you look at the crime, welfare and drug problems in Scotland I'm not so sure they have the sort of ethos the Norwegians have.

            The SNP want every child to have a 'named person', someone in the public sector who decides if your child is being raised in a state approved manner, checking the children, checking the parents.

            This is the kind of stuff the nazis used to do.

              Norwegians don't whine as much as the Scots. They don't get on with it - they just complain.

              But then very few do.

                Norwegians have to pay to see a doctor, drive on the motorway and get hit with 7 quid pints.

                      I would never go back to Norway.
                      This big 'savings pot' is slowly killing them.


                      Their tourist industry is suffering, social tensions run high, strikes etc, loads of them want 'their' million kr
