Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[tomtomagain]

Of course they have the right. It is called national self-determination. Have you thought about the alternatives? The best thing about this process is that we are demonstrating that these matters are solvable by democratic means.

Well that's just it.

I see the "Nation" as the UK. I see Scotland, England and Wales as regions. Scotland and England are in my DNA.

What's my nationality? Says British on my passport. Doesn't say "English".

I do not understand this narrow world-view that is being pushed by the SNP.

And before minestrone soup pipes up, from the BBC:

Business support for 'Yes'

Pro-independence group Business for Scotland has released the names of another 100 business people who support a "Yes" vote.

."

You didn't cut and paste the bit from the BBC from the CEO of BP that says "Ian Wood was correct about the oil reserves and that the future of Scotland is best served remaining part of the UK".

Oops, there you go again.

This is mostly reasonable bit you are imagining ill will against Scotland.

So why talk crap about currency?

Someone suggested earlier today that I read the comments section on the Daily Mail, Guardian, Telegraph, etc. Most of which I read is anti-Scottish bile.

In other words you are uncomfortable arguing their points so instead you smear them as anti Scottish

[tomtomagain]

Sorry. Orchestrated.

Now can you give me a decent reason why the country should be split up? How are things going to better for everyone in the UK?

That might be how you see it, but it doesn't make it a reality. They are different countries.

That is a fact and even the 'No' campaign wouldn't argue otherwise.

And your point is what? That this is somehow representative of the general public? Go and look at the Scotsman or Daily Record websites. You'll find a lot of anti-English bile.

Go and look on twitter. You'll find a lot of anti-muslim bile.

In short. The internet is full of bile. And that's true whether Scotland is part of the UK or not.

Point nicely and spectacularly missed, well done :-)

And especially true of CUK.
