    Not entitled to a vote. Don't get me started. I should most certainly have a say given my 100's of years of Scottish genealogy.
    And that matters why?

    You obviously love your country of birth (I am assuming) so much you chose to live and work abroad.

      I love my quality of live even more.

        Pride perhaps?

        And in the Great country of Scotland you can't have a good quality of life?

Meanwhile the other half of the country celebrates house prices. It's for a modern country to be in this situation. Something needs to change. I don't care who's at the helm but change is needed.
          Aren't you the caring one. More like the "caring for number one". You have a personal axe to grind with being part of the UK and clearly you are driven by your own agenda. You don't live in Scotland and you certainly have no idea what is best for the poor to who you refer (though you pretend to) and yet you want to vote!

          Every one says "something needs to change" but none of these people can suggest what or how. If you really care why don't you go and dole out some of your own income, set up your own company and employ these poor people yourself otherwise shut up.

              I always wondered how Alan B'stard could look so much like Tony without anyone noticing.

                I grew where my folks had to make tough choices on a week by week basis. Raised voices a frequent occurrence. Both my parents earned a living, and our needs were modest but the slightest unexpected bill pushed simple things back. Like a birthday a few days later just because money was tight. I knew but would say nothing. You've no idea. And it's heartbreaking to see that happen they put on a strong face and go on and you help out how you can. I decided a long while ago I was not going to live like that so I got out. Yet you throw derogatory terms based on assumption.

                I wouldn't donate money but I certainly would offer my help to dispel those situations I grew up in now that I can afford to do so.

                  You think you came from a poor background? That's nothing. My folks lived in a cardboard box in the middle of a motorway.... blah blah
