Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[Gittins Gal]

I really hope they vote Yes.

My father was Scottish and I am ashemed to admit that I've never been there - but I want a yes vote because it represents a really good kick in the establishment's nuts and that IMO can only be a good thing.

Though, a tiny bit of me wonders if a win for the Nationalists wouldn't be a kick in the nuts at all and that they'd been planning it all along. Icke-esque paranoia I guess....

By the way, a question for Scottish CUKers - my father was from Paisley which I gather isn't the most, er, picturesque of places. Is there any positive spin you can put on it that may entice me north of the border to make a pilgrimage to his place of birth?

Fly into Glasgow, take a whistle stop tour of Paisley, then head up to the highlands.

So vote Yes, but expect to be travelling.

So become like black Rhodesians - fleeing the results of your actions? surely if you voted for it you should accept the consequences of your actions and stay to try to mend it

Personally I look at the Eire model and suspect it won't be as bad as some think, but will now be adding Scots to the automatic Bob "c.v. straight in the waste bin" for job applications received for any positions I'm recruiting for in the South East

Still undecided if we should allow those ship yard workers to move South for the MOD contracts once Rosyth closes- may be best if we sourced from ENG + Wales + NI

Anyway good luck with your "new" nation

If anyone bothers to read past the poll results on the front page of the Sunday Times ( I doubt may nationalists will bother) there is a fairly scathing article on the finances of an independent Scotland.

You should actually take the time to watch some of these videos.

The UK Government has now said there will be a devo max option next week despite them taking it off the ballot paper. This is a breach of the Edinburgh Agreement which both sides signed 2 years ago, and is ridiculous to change the goalposts when people have already voted using postal voting.

Oh dear. So you really believe there will be a currency union because it makes sense to Salmond?
It's politics. It will be unacceptable to the RUK for a currency union with an in dependant Scotland.
You can stamp your feet as much as you want, but the SNP didn't line up the economics or wider UK and EU politics ahead of time.

Yes, I think there will be CU as it's on the best interests of both sides. If not, we will use the £ anyway but the value will go down as rUK will have lost a chunk of it's GDP and the income it receives from Scotland to pay off it's debts.

Yes, of course there will be a CU. No question. Otherwise there's more debt for people in England and their future generations. Kind of sweet deal really since the poll tax got dished out to Scotland first.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

You can't reason with this level of stupidity.

They are being sold a fantasy, when reality dawns their faces will be a picture...
