Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[JustinTime]

erm, isn't Eton a boys-only school?

Have a look at Sturgeon up close, then decide.

It's a grassroot movement to get away from Westminster .

The chippy little man sums it up. It is not defined by whatever is best for Scotland. And this despite the fact that the cabinet at Westminster has been dominated by labour party Scots under the last 3 governments.

Well the party with the most to lose isn't the Tories...

It does make you wonder why a small country like Ireland with its STV system is run on behalf of the bankers, shoving national debt onto the voters.

You will still end up with tulip politicians making tulip decisions and betraying the electorate, but I guess at least it will be your own tulip.

Shame about the 25,000 jobs that unix estimates will go just in relation to the banking sector, but what price freedom?

All the banks have said that no jobs or operations will move south. I'm sure that may change over time but it will depend on what happens after the negotiations.

Yep, most unionists are of Scottish descent rather than English.

The No campaign have missed out on another scare story here. Independence may well stir the problem of sectarianism. Another shameful example of the outright bigotry that goes on in Scotland

I have had more lucid conversations with people on acid than you get with nationalists.

Bonkers some of the stuff they believe.

Must be where you live. 99% of Yes voters simply want Scotland to have autonomy. They are not expecting a utopia, but given the resources Scotland have they believe we could run our country better than Westminster. That's it.

UKIP are crazy

True. That's nationalists for you.

Oh... that would be ugly.

"Northern Ireland has always been a part of Great Britain". Um. There is no Great Britain as a political entity.
"The unionist people are proud of our British and Scottish heritage".

Mind you, I don't know many people in the Republic who want NI.
