I would too. Any takers for Northern Ireland? Bidding to start at 50p.

I think the Scots would expect to be paid a damn sight more than that for taking Northern Ireland over from the UK (or whatever it would be called in the absence of Scotland).

yeah they have Oil, maybe we can get Obama to help?

We would have to redesign the pricing structure to calculate oil in units of chip pans rather than barrels though :-(

Although that means more work for us poor software engineers who work in finance - win!

On the condition that he joins them afterwards.

No get Ed Milliband to front it, we want the no vote to lose

Why is there even a debate?

Why can't we all simply agree that Scotland should be it's own country, bomb it to hell and cause millions of pounds worth of improvements?

Yep. Call-me-Dave appeals primarily to middle class English conservatives.

Maybe in the past, I doubt very much that's the case now.

Independence.




Yes. Deal with it.




So would I and many other thousands of other Scots living abroad who are the subjects of generations of decent from that bonny land. Alas, it's not, it's not a vote on Scottishness it's a vote for residents whether they be Scottish or not. I can accept that, can't you?

Because Scotland is part of the union, and only a subset of that union are being given their democratic rights

We could make that a condition of independence. They are as bad as each other with their sectarian hatred so why not...

[Mich the Tester]

Indeed! Of 650 seats in Westminster, 59 are Scottish. Of the Scottish seats only one is Tory. Hell, Cameron would give them Northern Ireland too if he could palm it off onto them.

Independence, the biggest threat to the union and the PM bottles out of a TV debate?

It would be quite a legacy for this PM, should the union divide.

Makes sense to put another Scot in place as the face of the no campaign, CallmeDave's oily face and posh voice won't endear the Scots to the no vote. I think it is a very good move. Not to mention it will piss of Salmond
