Hope springs eternal.....

Scotland will be in the EU using GP so why would they?

errr in the EU sharing a currency with no central Bank? You sure, you 100% sure?

Can't quite understand why Yes voters fail to grasp that there will be no shared currency. It would be political suicide for any RUK party to concede to such a request and, as such, no RUK government is going to agree to it.

Face it, the SNP didn't do all the clever stuff ahead of time - it was difficult for them as they were limited by time. They hope that there is a currency union. They hope that they can get EU membership via Clause 48. They hope that it's all going to be OK. They hope that if there is no currency union then they can get into the EU without a central bank.

Scotland has a currency union and with DevMax we'd have enough control of our finances to satisfy most people. There wouldn't be an presidential car for Salmond - but I could live with that.

There's a rather interesting piece on the BBC site on the impact of a Yes vote.

After a Yes vote many of Scotland's major employers will be neglecting Scotland rather a lot.....

Thanks for posting.

These are some of the reasons we want independence. Scotland is neglected by Westminster and these figures prove it.

For example we all know this

In Iraq, life expectancy is 67. Minutes from Glasgow city centre, it's 54 | Society | The Guardian

For example we all know this

• In 2010–12, male life expectancy at birth was highest in East Dorset (82.9 years) and lowest in Glasgow City (72.6 years).
• For females, life expectancy at birth was highest in Purbeck (86.6 years) and lowest in Glasgow City (78.5 years).
• Approximately 91% of baby boys in East Dorset and 94% of girls in Purbeck will reach their 65th birthday, if 2010–12 mortality rates persist throughout their lifetime. The comparable figures for Glasgow City are 75% for baby boys and 85% for baby girls.
• Life expectancy at age 65 was highest for men in Harrow, where they could expect to live for a further 20.9 years compared with only 14.9 years for men in Glasgow City.
• For women at age 65, life expectancy was highest in Camden (23.8 years) and lowest in Glasgow City (18.3 years).

He was arguing that more people in rUK were fatter than in Scotland using the number of people not the percentage of the population.

I realise that. Just putting it into proper perspective

He was arguing using his trusty Salmond calculator
