We pay more in taxes than we recieve from Westminster for our budget. So contrary to popular belief we are not a bunch of alcoholic drug taking scroungers.The SNP have been the government in Scotland for the last 2 terms and havent raised taxes ,I think they can raise it by 3% or are allowed to. This was interesting, seems you lot are minted, if you spin the maths to your advantage (which is what the English are doing, I accept that) but it doesn't explain why you're all alcoholic scroungers :) |

The more I read about this split the more I am convinced there will be no "winner" it will end up costing ALL the British people more money. I just find the whole thing very unfortunate.

I read another article of a speech given by David Cameron, I think he perfectly summed it up what damage this would do to all involved, he took the words right out of my mouth. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26071166 |

That's exactly it, this Salmond clown is in it just to make a name for himself (until it all goes wrong), he has no plan, all he is doing is pulling the heart strings of the Scottish people, as you say, I hope the Scottish people don't fall for his nonsense.

United we stand divided we fall. |
Re: if the scots go, do you care?
I think it would be sad for Scotland to end up on its own.
And let's call it what it is... It's not a step towards independence... it's consideration of a separation... with a lose-lose outcome. |

Laarson is Swedish as you might know, but you didn't seem to care about him ;) Muppet is better than the dear you called me earlier, well of course it takes one muppette to know one :D |

Salmonds is a tool, who has no interest in his people. The way he rants on you'd think he wanted to debate the rights and wrongs of prima nocta. He seems to be running his campaigne on slogans and insults, watch him crawl back into obscurity if he gets what he wants an it all goes wrong.
I'm proud to be British, and I love the banter between us poms and the sweaties, I also think Cameron is a dick, but in this instance he is absolutely right. United we stand divided we fall. There are a considerable amount of "fence sitters" right now, Cameron has the power to do something with that. Announcing to the English public that he urges them to call their Scottish friends and relatives and ask them to vote NO is totally pathetic and weak and not what we need to hear as a nation. Seems we're not worth bothering too much about - speaks volumes really. |

Really?, nice sweeping generalisation. My intention would be to vote NO, however, being part of a Kingdom with people of your calibre makes me want to heave and change my mind.

yes and he's clouding the issue for everyone on the fence, that's my point, they'll be voting yes from the heart not the head. Girls should never be too pretty, it stops them developing a sense of humour and a personality |
