I really have no side when it comes to the indy ref debate. But my goodness they were great tonight, I don't care if Davidson is a Tory, but that was a very impressive performance, Kezia Dugdale too. I liked Elaine Smith too on the Yes side, but I have a feeling that may pip it for the No's.

I thought Smith was awful, her main argument seems to be snorting laughter and pulling on heart strings.
YOU GO BLIND!
The big difference, YES are passionate about what they believe in, No are just negative and talking down or Scotland
No seemed much more realistic and came across very well when not being shouted upon, Yes do have a lot of passion, but it comes off as more emotional than realism 'La la la, English rule over Scotland will be over' la la la not listening'. Harvie on defence was just embarrassing.
how they should have done all the other ones
How eloquent. A nice thought to go to bed with.
Anyway. Good luck. I hope you win. England expects....
Sleep tight
Every 'Yes' person avoids answering and ends up yammering on about 'the will of the Scottish people' which brings clapping and cheers from the dedicated flock!
I really hope Scotland votes no but if not, welcome to the UK those in Scotland who wish to get out!
A fond (not) Black Country 'Ta Taa' to the rest.
Better Together 2-1 Yes
Here in Edinburgh everything is awesome, to quote the lego movie.
I recommend moving from Paisley.
(Sorry, couldn't resist. :kitty:)
Unionists really are doing a great Unikitty impression.
Must. Stay. POSITIVE. ARRRRGGGHHHHH.
Like anywhere in the UK and indeed the world it depends where you live. If you live in Aberdeen, the NE, the Highlands etc then things are generally very good with the lowest levels of unemployment in the UK, highest start up rates of new businesses in the UK and generally very good standards of living.
I do think if many central belters looked beyond the M8 they'd find that Scotland isn't the welfare, foodbank poverty stricken hellhole the Yes camp want you to think.
Oil firms in Aberdeen are begging for people to move to the area to work...
Think how much better everything will be after independece
so would i
i live in renfrew
and moving tomorrow too ..... about 500 yards
:kitty:
might as well be 500 MILES, as i said .....
It wont be, Alex Salmond and co are making pledges and threats that they know simply cannot be afforded or carried out for Scotland to have any credibility internationally.
At present Scotland and the UK can get away with running a large deficit because our currency and central bank are internationally respected, and our Government has a trusted and proven track record of paying its debts. Thus not only are the markets willing to lend money they are willing to lend it at the lowest rates of interest on the planet.
So true you only need to look at Salmond as definitive proof
Still the Aye campaign are lagging behind and unlikely to win as folk have realised that Utopia will mean savage cuts to public services and pensions.
As for Ms Smith what an utter bawbag, by the way she was a turd as an actress.
Harvie still has not realised that the vast majority of the current members of the forces in Scottish regiments, airforce ect will NOT be part of a new defence initiative for Scotland, preferring to remain with the RUK army,navy,airforce as it will offer better career progression and financial security. A family member who is a proud scot currently serving with a Scottish regiment has made it quite clear he will not be part of a Scottish army in an independent Scotland
