    Immigration seems to be the most talked about, but what actually is the main issue for you? And why?

    ATM Scottish Independence.

    I like the idea of living in a country and not being governed by another.

    Price of fuel ie petrol / diesel.

    I think the effect on other business by costing so much is having a huge effect.

    So exmple, how many on here would drive to the coast for fish and chips, even if I was cleethorpes but doesn't now, so travel and tourism is down.

    The cost now for supermarket to deliver good to and fro, and we pick the cost up, so supermarkets increase the cost.

    This cost get passed on and on, so to me reduce the price of fuel

    Good call, Kev. Think I'm with you on that. And to think we bombed/invaded a sovereign nation to rape them of their oil and yet still force our citizens to pay over the odds. What a great idea that was, for those cnuts with fingers in the pies. Naming no names Tony Blair.

    Hope you all have a wonderful time up north.
    BTW the weather has been quite good recently. The temperature did rise once last week to just over freezing. All the T shirts were out. LOL

    Can I be greedy and have two?

    1. Proportional Representation (this country is not and never will be a democracy until this is implemented) and

    2. More Direct Taxation and less Indirect Taxation

    (now that's me hiding behind the settee a la Dr Who - or rather the daleks on Dr Who)

    When I rise to power the first things I'm going to do are abolish zero hour contracts, nationalise the utilities and public transport, and put Cameron and Osbourne in a gulag.

    No coherent energy policy, mainly down to letting the market decide for the last 30 years. This means we have no energy security and this industry is now foreign owned.

    But leaving the EU will sort this.
