    The Scotland Act is clearly on its way. The English question is separate.

    It is highly highly unlikely that any Scot living today will ever see independence.

    So I now suggest we celebrate the Union, all join together and sing "God save the Queen".
    Cameron said the English question had to be resolved in tandem and at the same pace as the Scottish powers which clearly can't be done in such a small timeframe.

    We should see home rule/federal state in the near future and full independence a few years afterwards because rUK will be jealous of the standard of living we will be having in Scotland and they will break away from us

      I am sure Tommy Sheridan has all the answers for you lot

      In fact here they are:

      End all cuts and austerity
      Bring the energy companies and the banks into democratic public ownership
      Tax the rich and big business so that they pay their share
      Ensure we had a publicly owned oil and gas sector so that the profitsmade were invested back into jobs and public services
      Increase the minimum wage to a living wage
      Scrap zero hour contracts and poverty pay
      Create jobs and proper apprenticeships for our young people
      End the anti-union laws and protect workers’ rights
      Scrap Trident

        You're wrong (again). He's not been a member of the SSP since 2004

        Having you call him an idiot is a ringing endorsement for him. He's pro-indy so that gives him 1.6m supporters and I would vote for him if he was standing in my area.

            Those are breadcrumbs he's throwing to the backbenchers. There will be no major reform of the English parliament before the GE and if he has to, he'll push through a Scotland Act with the Lib-dems and some Labour votes.

            There would be absolutely no way Cameron could stand for election without "Scotland sorted".

            ...and sorted it will be.
            I'm alright Jack

              Tommy Sheridan is ex politician and a convicted perjurer (To make (oneself) guilty of perjury by deliberately testifying falsely under oath).

              Salmond spent a lot of time trying to keep him out of the way.

              He's a crook. The 'Yes' campaign have better role models than him.

                I wandered past and listened to a couple of the speeches.
                It was a sorry, sad, depressing experience.

                  Not making excuses for him and I'm sure he knew his way around the swingers club but he was convicted pf perjury on the testament of Andy Coulson who has been charged himself of perjury in Sheridan's trial so Citizen Tommy could yet have his name cleared of those charges.

                  He commands a lot of respect from people in poverty stricken areas of Glasgow so he will have a part to play in the GE.

                    I walked the streets him handing out leaflets back in the day .... but he grew dodgier as time when by. Those who knew him dumped him pretty quick.

                    The case against him didn't rely on Andy C's testimony, he knows it and he's trying to make as much hay as possible before his conviction is affirmed. There's no way back for him - he has too many skeletons - I reckon Gorgeous George has more credibility.

                    Seriously, the SNP will have as little to do with him as possible - he's a liability. There are better representatives than a convicted perjurer....
