    So Scotland will become a sort of Cyprus without the sun?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

I rember even walking on Mount Pilatus near Lucerne and there was some football match going on in the town, even on the mountain all you could here was football yobs chanting and singing.....glad to leave the place.

                  So you really think the world is black and white world where people are either communists or capitalists with no gray areas in between? Usually people have developed their thinking beyond such elementary thoughts after high school. Did you skip formal education or are you just thick?

                    We had a socialist government in the UK recently. It created wealth by printing shed-loads of artificial money on big computers. Lots of people thought they were rich. It all ended really well. Honest.
