Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[Old Greg]

I personally hope they do squeak it, that way they can just get on with it and will be unable to blame anyone but themselves if it doesn't go according to plan.

Don't be silly. They can blame the EWNI for refusing a currency union, the EU for refusing to allow sterlingisation, Spain for putting tough terms into EU membership and the business community for moving some businesses down South.

To pretend to support YES to avoid violent intimidation, as per your suggestion.

Of course not. That's small minds receiving more attention than they deserve. They exist on both sides and do not speak for the majority.

Part of me also thinks it would be no different pretending I'm happy with the current constitution whilst being miserable / apathetic.

So are there NO supporters violently intimidating children for wearing a YES badge?

So you'll be backing a rotten apple with your tax money whilst maintaining the operations in Scotland.

No different from the world it is today is it really, globalisation is a magical wonder isn't it

I don't know. I've no experience with which to comment. Lock them up I say.

Sorry OG you are quite right but according to Salmond's masterplan it'll all be OK, there's no way anyone can say No to Scotland and it's oil

Yup, never underestimate the ability of the average Jocko to find victim-hood in every under every excuse.

Here's an interesting one. Scaremongering? Maybe. Or maybe not.

There are lots of things that have to be split, will cause problems or the Scottish won't be able to participate.

For example the Scots won't be able to play the National Lottery or the Euromillions. They will have to set up their own lottery first then join the Euromillions.

Allegedly it would impact on Scottish athletes appearing in Rio 2016 Olympics in the event of a yes vote, poor timing I guess or poorly thought out. Funny you mentioned the lottery as at the moment it pays for their funding.
