Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[Batcher]

Did someone mention minestrone soup was Irish?

Scotland's Right to Self Determination

It is to be hoped that, at First Minister Alex Salmond’s side on Friday week in Edinburgh, if the Yes materialises, will be our Minister for Foreign Affairs, Charlie Flanagan, first to shake his hand and congratulate him. First to promise fullest diplomatic recognition and political support for the new state from its first international ally, one that has been down this road, which understands the enormity of the challenge, but which can say with confidence “been there, done that . . . and it’s not by any means impossible, whatever they say” .

Yes, I noticed the poll was taken over a number of days compared to others. I don't know why that should be significant but would indicate that over the longer term views remain the same as they've always done.

Look on the bright side. Scotland is still going to get a truck load of power with the English tax payer coughing up for it. Win win.

Ha! The day after the No vote it will be quarter rations and double shifts down the haggis mines. Thus spake Perfidious Albion.

Out of interest, who's paying for this referendum?

The unicorns.

The Survation poll was done before today's visit of the 3 amigos. We also have Nigel to visit Glasgow on Saturday and the Orange Order parade in support of the union in Edinburgh. That should swing it

Let's hope so. I've got £50 on YES and have stuck some cash into gold.

Who do you think?

The taxpayers of the UK.

RBS saying they are moving to London if there is a "YES" vote.

If you don't get a vote, but think that Scotland should remain as part of the UK, you can stick your name here:
