Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[jemb]

Fair enough, but even you must be having a laugh at some of the crap on this thread where everything the SNP say is lies and everything Tories/Labour and Lib Dems say is written in tablets of stone. The same party leaders that will be ripping the piss out of the UK electorate in a few months time

If you want funny, watch last nights broadcast of George Galloway standing with the Tory Scottish leader agreeing with everything she said

errr I have a degree in Economics/Maths - and from an economic perstpective a CU makes little sense for RUK. I don't need to be told this by the 'No' campaign.

I would like to vote 'Yes' but I can't because they haven't managed to make the case for the impact of econimic separation. In addition, from an economics perspective, the Yes campaign have misled people on the likelyhood of a CU.

Devo max is impossible. The city of London cant have Scottish financials on a lower corporation tax rate but with all the security the UK brings. Financials would move north and England can't have that.

But this has been such an explosive debate, that DevoMax needs to be seen within a wider constitutional settlement. The USA manages with different states setting different CT rates.

[jemb]

Can I ask - if you *knew* there was to be no CU. Would you still vote Yes?

Yes

For that level of honesty - You have my respect and my best wishes.

The SNP agitate too much for political advantage. They would make up the largest party in Scotland and they would deliberately cause issues. Won't lead to a positive outcome.

I think that is the way to go to build a better nation in the long term. Any idea how many jobs will be lost in the short term (both directly and indirectly)?

A few thousand, but 1500 will be bobs.

Jesus Christ...

Mandela quotes, Braveheart face painting, bagpipes, cries of freedom. I think that is house in nationalist bulltulip bingo.

Campaigning outside polling places
3.1 Campaigners should be allowed to put their messages to voters on
polling day, including in public spaces outside polling places.
Polling station staff and police officers should not seek to discourage or remove
campaigners who are otherwise peacefully communicating with voters, as long as
they are not within or impeding access to the grounds of the polling place.
Campaigners should be careful, however, to ensure that their approach is
proportionate and should recognise that groups of supporters may be perceived as
intimidating by voters.
3.2 Campaigners should keep access to polling places and the pavements
around polling places clear to allow voters to enter.
The Presiding Officer is responsible for maintaining order in the polling place, and
campaigners who appear to be impeding access by voters to a polling place may be
asked to move by polling station staff or police officers.

7000 jobs connected with trident for a start.

Is that a few thousand jobs in the industries? Have you also counted all the suppliers, the shops and restauarants etc. where the employees spend their wages?

I would also, the CU is just to get the soon to be retired on board who worry about their pensions. I hope they create their own currency and build an oil fund of trillions.

I honestly don't believe people when they believe that.
