I've pre-paid for a fleet of 'Go home or face arrest Jocko' Home Office style advertising vans. They'll be driving around London on 19 September 2014 if the vote is positive.

It's all very well for Salmond to say what he wants, and for the "No" side to say that won't fly, but no-one knows what would actually be agreed.

And with 0% corporation tax and the planned welfare state in Scotland I think anything I gained in one hand would soon disappear out of the other in other taxes.
Popular debate at the minute is to reduce corporation tax so that companies have more cash on their books to spend on development.
SNP's corporation tax plan is cause for concern, think-tank poll shows

That policy does seem maddening. People would not allow it, more important people are listened to and that is heeded.Last edited by scooterscot; 17 August 2013, 09:54.

I ain't living in a country that does stuff like that.

Unless Cameron and the Queen get pictured feasting on the copses of dead Scottish babies nothing will change.
Scotland could do OK anyway if it was ran correctly, it has a decent range of industries that are profitable, fisheries, agriculture, natural resources, tourism, it has a financial centre and whisky is pretty profitable. This is all more than vast swathes of England have.

All the people I know in Scotland are like yourself and most think the vote is amusing.

Originally posted by Ticktock View PostI'm currently a non-Scot living in Scotland and I've now shifted to the view that I hope the vote is a yes, as long as it doesn't cost the rest of the UK a disproportionate amount, and that Scotland is not allowed to rejoin the UK when it all goes tits up. I used to be of the opinion that the Scots shouldn't be allowed to leave, now I say get rid of them and don't let them back.
"I used to be of the opinion that the Scots shouldn't be allowed to leave"
As Stewie might say 'who the hell do you think you are!' - Anyway the post sounds awfully bitter, and it is a shame.
"When it all goes tits up"
My father in-law is a paid up Tory, yes from deep down in the South. We're of the same opinion, like most I run into these days, Scotland is more than capable of looking after it's own domestic affairs. The state needs to be shrunk to reflect the size of the economy or else we'll be bankrupt in 5 minutes. It's no business being the size that is and nor does it need to be.
In fact I'm of the slight opinion this is what shall happen throughout Europe in years to come, yes the EU will stay together, I've no doubt of that as will the currency. But I do believe states will have greater control of their financial affairs. Taxes collected are spent locally, a little like here in Bavaria.

Originally posted by Ticktock View PostOf the Scots I work with, most think it's a bloody stupid idea and would vote no. Of the English people I speak to, most are now saying they wish they had a vote so they could vote yes.
Plus the disaster that would inevitably follow would be fun to watch.
