Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[jemb]

Economics is a social science.

The models are done using social assumptions.

Which we know and have experienced are often wrong.

Hence the only thing they can do is look at other situations with similar circumstances.

Trying to pick a winner in a horse race is hard. Economic predictions are hard.

The 'Yes' campaign are focussed on one prize only - independence. They haven't thought of any of the hard stuff through. Promising a more socially inclusive Scotland without working out how to deliver it is sh1t.

If someone throws a brick at your window you could probably predict it'll smash. It doesn't take Rocket Science to predict the impact of no CU, capital flight, higher borrowing costs etc.

Luckily, luckily there is a majority of non-d1ckh3ads in this country that will vote 'No'.

For all the bluster on this site - it'll be a No vote because people just aren't that ******* stupid.

Maggie had convictions and stuck to them.

I know a lot of Labour supporters who hated her who but appreciated that fact.

They gave up their Labour party membership when Blair came in to power.

Nu Labour is based on Thatcher's ideals - the third way.

A older guy in Glasgow was interviewed on channel 4 news as part of their coverage and he said he had been a Labour supporter all his life like the rest of his family but seeing Gordon Brown on the steps of number 10 with Thatcher sickened him and since then he would never vote Labour again.

Gordon Brown is talking on the telly.

I'm Scottish. This is a risk. Salmond hasn't thought this through....

I think he's doing OK (except when he smiles - that's just creepy)

I was watching Channel 4 news earlier.

It was explained that the Yes supporters are noisy and the No ones keep their mouths shut.

Glad to see Gordon is getting to you

That's kind of how I feel about Cameron, Milliband and Brown all together.

Not that I'd vote for any of those wastrels, even if they did not consort with one another. I've very little liking for Cameron as it is.

I don't know, there is a lot of stupidity going about just now.

Everyone seems to think it is going to be the land of milk and honey, there will be some crash when they realise it was all bulltulip. I think it will turn ugly.

So why are they laughing?

I would like the legacy of this to be the whole UK realising that we don't have to put up with the current shower. More new parties, hopefully with more credibility than UKIP and a real shake up of politics.

Do you know what Nigel Farage said today?


We should stop opposing Putin's incursion into Ukraine and join forces with the Russian leader in the fight against IS/ISIS.
