The Saltire Over Downing Street

Ha Ha Superb.

 

Forgive me but how have they been proven to be liars?

 

They're MPs.......end of

 

Actually you have to have people picked by the English on your notes to stay in the pound.

£50 - Edward Longshanks / Susan Boyle

£20 - The Crankies. One on either side.

£10 - The Proclaimers on one side Thatcher on the other.

£5 - (this is the important one, because let's face it none of the drunken dole scroungers up there see more than a fiver) Alec Salmond on one side and Boris Johnson's arse on the other.

The coins can include Colin Hendre's face from when Gazza chipped him in the Euro 96 and Mel Gibson dressed as William Wallace.

 

It seems mistruths are only levelled at the No side though. All the same **** if you ask me. All just telling a story.

 

I wonder if Salmond will declare himself Sheikh Salmond when he gets his hands on the oil and gas fortune his country has in waiting, I can just see him in his tartan arab robes.

 

Saltare Blond, fine drink.

 

This oil revenue thing, if you remove it Scotland runs an 11% budget deficit and salmond has committed to increase public spending by 3% if yes wins. So even if you keep all the oil revenue, prices remain stable and you are allowed to keep the pound, there's no spare cash. I know it's not all about the money, but I think to a lot of people it is, and they're not going to be happy when they discover increased nhs and pension costs from an aging population with a shrinking working age population( unlike the rest of England which is predicted to have a rising one). So, if it's a yes enjoy the party because it's going to be one hell of a hangover.....

 

My dad is a typical chip on the shoulder Scotsman.... But when you read the history, it was always about landlords and religion, not England v Scotland. They went down to London on invite to sit in the throne and start the union... They should have accepted on proviso of keeping HQ in Edinburgh or somesuch!!

I believe we're stronger together and having Edinburgh make selfish decisions against the highlands won't be any different to having Westminster make them on their behalf. As for not letting the exiles in England vote...slightly skews the result for me, these are the hundreds of thousands brought up north of the border who will work their lives in the south, then retire back north.

Brown, clegg and Cameron are the people to blame for this apathy with Westminster... Showing their faces into the mix ain't gonna help...

 

That oil revenue is spent on free education and prescriptions for Scotland so we're not going to miss that. Plus it'll run out very soon. Don't know how the hell it's going to work to be honest. Will you operate outside the EU? Will there be import duty on Scottish goods? What about the Armed forces, are you going to have your own? Will we be known as the Dis-united Kingdom? Personally I think we've pampered to the Scots for too long at the expense of the rest of England (10% more investment per head of population) so I hope they vote yes.

 

I've got loads of these in the house. LOL

 

I think the Scots would actually hate independence because they wouldn't be able to moan about the English anymore, they'll be totally lost.

 

Ach I'm sure we would find something to moan about.

Gary Lineker for starters.

 

They Conservatives haven't won an election since 1992 so I don't know what you're on about.

It will be harder for labour to win in England & Wales for a few elections but they had the forsight to let in millions of immigrants who will vote for them and when enough reach voting age it will be the tories who won't get elected again.

 

And if Queen Victoria's Tories hadn't gone and raped ,pillaged ,enslaved and slaughtered half the worlds population a lot of the immigrants wouldn't have had claim to our hospitality.

 

If you put your eggs in one basket you'll be suprised how the oil companies can turn the screw when and how they please.
Thr North sea is not the only place in the world where oil is easy to get at.
If your vote is based on oil only it is not a wise one.

 

Scotland's Oil is the only reason the Tories are running around like headless chickens, pretending the oil is irrelevant.
The city is putting pressure on Cameron that's how much it matters

 

I can see the Tories are bricking it and I dont mind one bit. Scotland has to be careful gambling with the oil companies. They can pull out of there anytime they want.

 

Fookin hell is Boris Johnson's arsehole on the other side?

 

Would I be right in saying though Ian, if there is a yes vote....the Islands will then have their own referendum?. In which case has it been discussed who would own the oil if they vote either to stay in the UK, or even go for their own independence
