    There will have to be some sort of settlement in the event of a close no vote, else the referendum will become a neverendum

    maybe sacrificing the BBC is a price worth paying. I vote yes, lets slash the beeb

    How was that to be implemented?.. I must have missed the memo

    It's funny how the rUK have been asked to 'lovebomb' Scotland but all they do is threaten Scots with punitive measures if there is a No vote. Might actually push the Scots to vote Yes

    It is the never ending sense of injustice you bring to the innocuous and trivial that stands you out from other mental rejects in this place.

    Voters south of the Border want a cut to Scottish annual public spending of almost £1,400 per person if there is a No vote, and a refusal to share the pound in the event of independence.
    I don't recall being polled

    People in England overwhelmingly want Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom, with 59 per cent opposed to independence and 19 per cent in favour.

    Would they have enough Scottish content to fill it as a quick scan of the Scottish papers shows main Scot centric news today to be:
    • Tributes paid to young woman found dead in Inverness
    • Edinburgh Zoo introduces Velu, the first chimpanzee to be successfully reared in Scotland in 15 years

    & of course the obligatory dig at the English
    • Islamic militants post video of US journalist's beheading by man speaking with English accent

    The rest seems to be rehashed world / UK news already covered by the BBC

    Can't watch youtube at clientco so will look tonight.

    I think the Northern Irish and Welsh regiments display their flags on their uniforms too. Maybe the English don't because the St George's cross makes them look like crusaders?
