fwiw, I think there will be a settlement (in the event of a no vote. obv)

I agree. Above all I hope it start a change to UK politics. They are rotten to the core.

I don't want or need the Scottish Parliament, I never voted for it nor require it, it is just a layer of government that a government invented to make more government.

if it costs more than an aircraft carrier, then bin it.
if it costs less, keep it as a sop


i have no idea how much its costs actually. but my unit of effectiveness is aircraft carriers

I honestly find that whole article terrifying.

"Britain is for the rich. Scotland can be ours"

Raw unadulterated ugly nationalism, Scotland for Scotland and be dammed with everyone else.

I've just read it. You're havering. When I think nationalism I think tattooed feckwits spotting WWII, being over crowed by immigrants.

You'd find more nationalism in the green peace tearoom.

Bye bye HS2

The majority in NI are Unionists so I presume they would want to stay with rUK.

The Orange Order are having a march for the Union in Edinburgh on 15th Sept so that should push a few more thousand Don't Knows into the Yes camp. Might just tip the balance
