It's ridiculous that the 'Better Together' quango think that Scots should put up with a government they didn't vote for, since tories have negligible support there. Why do they claim to be democrats while expecting Scots to be ruled by a Westminster government they didn't vote for?
Don't worry. We feel the same way down here about Scottish MP's making decisions on England's future. As well as subsidizing your free prescriptions and University free education.

Sorry to put a damper on things, but the OIl money will not be going to Scotland. The oil money goes to the oil company, which are not Scottish, yes you have the taxes on it, but not all of the money.
Many people who will be voting yes, are doing it for the wrong reasons thinking they will be better off under Scottish rule, so things like free prescriptions, no water rates, no bedroom tax. That money has to come from somewhere, which means the Scottish people will face heavy taxes.
What currency will be used ?, how will Scotland pay for an army/navy/air force ?, which without Britain it will not have.
Two more things, Surely if Scotland does vote yes, surely the SNP will be defunct ?
Secondly If I was the British PM, I would let them vote yes, then Invade and take it back.
This whole thing is just an ego trip for Alec Salmond, who thinks Scotland will be a big country and be invited to G8 summits etc, Simple fact, its not and he wont be invited.
Having recently moved to mainland europe, I'm not voting in this, however if I were, I'd be voting yes.
British people are completely clueless, CLUELESS about their situation. They have no idea how much they are being lied to. You are all becoming fat, unhealthy, drunks (have become with this one) with an education system that is lowering its standards year after year because none of you are taking education seriously since you expect to be guaranteed a job and because you are constantly told "we're the best in the world", yet the average Englishman, Scotsman, Welshman and Irishman doesn't have a pot to pee in at the end of the month, has a mountain of debt and no savings or pension plan. You're constantly told that the rest of Europe doesn't have the modern conveniences that you do, like wifi and american hotdogs, and that you're lucky to be able to break your leg whenever you want because the NHS will pick up the bill. Well, if you actually read, you'd read that living standards in Europe are higher than in the UK (your poor are living worse than those in the ex-soviet bloc), people get their ailments treated quicker than you do and to a better standard. The UK is a big lie. It's a county run by the rich for the rich that are keeping the population ignorant and millions are suffering the indignity of having to go to food-banks while at the same time being blamed for their situation, which in some cases is caused by complacency, that as I mentioned before is a result of your own self drive being run down to the ground.
What a monumental waste of time, energy and money. They're not going anywhere. Everyone knows it, England know it, Scotland know it, even those who are behind the 'Yes' vote know it. Yet to pander to all those who believe this giant time wasting exercise of a referendum is some God given right, we're all just playing along.
We all should be ashamed.....and when there's a resounding 'No' vote after the referendum, we should all hang our heads.

I could say the same about the EU. Doesn't mean we should not have a say though.
At least the Scots have the opportunity to vote for the main Westminster parties- unlike here where only the tory party fields candidates and nobody votes for them anyway! Scots have it better off than we do.
Correct but I don't really think not being as bad as Northern Ireland is a great deal to settle for in fairness.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. The SNP are the government in Scotland and are perfectly entitled to hold a referendum. Independence is their raison d'etre after all.

At the moment neither yes nor no have a majority, with 20+ % being undecided, so what's going to change from now until then to give us a resounding NO vote?
Just wishing everyone is going to share your opinion isn't going to change anything, you have to educate yourself and others if you hope to win the case. So, what's your actual opinion? What do you know that I don't?

Hows that 15 billion rail set going for London, enjoying the London arts scene are we ?
Central government spending on arts and culture in the capital amounted to £69 per resident in 2012-13, compared with £4.60 per person elsewhere in England.
Do you have a better source of news and information other than the news?
Do you get a nose bleed from up there on that moral high ground do you ?
But we are just a nation of fat drunks so I am surprised that you condescend to interact with us.
Time to take your next smug pill.

And with all that oil money to ourselves, well be rich, I tell you, rich!

That sounds like a really terrible episode of Ready Steady Cook.
Such bitterness. Or is it just jealousy?
That's not to say that Yes! Scotland aren't telling their fibs either, but they do make a better argument.

Guess what nationality I am ?
Like that odious Darling **** claiming Scottish independence would be worse than the 08 financial crash?

Thanks for showing that you're insulted but do you have an argument?
You know the problem with ignorance is that you're unaware that anything is wrong...
