Place your bets - 79% Of Scots Backing Yes

Here's a tip for you Pooper, the bookies don't lose money. They don't offer generous odds on a sure thing. They're offering those odds because they're trying to balance their book by getting more bets on "Yes" because they're overexposed to a "No" result.

Ssssshhht!

As you were unable to counter my opinion you took the cowardly route of avoiding the issue by branding me a liar.

You gave a twisted opinion on how Scotland would be run and included some crap about how all Norwegians with nice cars get a visit from the Revenue & Customs due to their jealous neighbours shopping them.

Which way will you be voting Batcher?

I'm undecided

I've just paid my Corporation Tax to the exchequer and I'm waiting to see how they spend it in the next three weeks.

Perhaps you should speak to a Norwegian rather than take my word for it. The overall point still rests (that you cannot seem to argue) irrespective of whether my "smear" holds credibility.

I've argued plenty of points with others on this thread but your 'points' are purely made up anecdotes with no links to back them up and your own anti-Scottish opinion.

I'm happy to argue if you put forward reals points to be argued.

It's funny how the Better Together mob are going out of their way to say how much Scotland is needed and contributes to the UK but if we vote for independence we will be unable to fend for ourselves and will disappear up our own jacksies.

Rubbish. The oil fields will be decided by internationally agreed lines which puts 91% of the current oilfields in Scottish waters. The infrastructure was developed by private money from the oil companies and not the UK government.

Then that private money has the best claim to it, and not some would-be socialist government.

Indeed. Anyhow the oil stuff is only seen as a bonus, and is used too often to disguise other sources of income. Often is the way with those things.

I believe Scotland should go it alone. What concerns me is the anti English agenda that is overpowering the need for the Scots to think clearly about how exactly they are going to run their country. It doesn't matter who has what and who needs who, what is important is how a plan for the future is going to be drawn up and whether and how it will be implemented.
I like the Norway model but your current load of politicians and so called leaders have not one jot of entrepreneurial or wealth creating bone in their bodies. I would worry more about this than anything that Westminster stands for.

Ultimately, where these firms are domiciled will have more to do with which government extracts revenue from them, I imagine. I think that's about the only significance of that whole question, as these firms will be quite happy to trade across borders.
