Scotland could always take a leaf from the modern comic bible:

“Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”


From Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for those not blessed to have read it.

Although thinking about it there aren't that many trees in Scotland, maybe they should use empty tenants cans instead. ;)

Let's see now - gingers, heroin, tenants, dole queues, spongers, criminals..... Yep, my Scottish stereotype bingo card is now complete!

Huge buzz in Scotland right now, people out and about, massive media interest. It's quite an occasion.

I would like Scotland to leave as we would be more likely to get Tory governments and hats the way I vote.

However for a choice that affects 60m people to only have 5m people voting on it is criminal.

Both sides have been using total adjectives to support their cause. No one accepts this, everyone agrees, everything will be better.

In the whole world I haven't seen a system that differentiates between rich and poor. Or that makes one person worse off over another.

There is no way the yes campaign should be saying that everything will be better apart. If this was an ad for a product they wouldn't be able to broadcast it.

bye bye Scotland!

Watching Sky News last night and they had two spokesman on giving their views on the economic outlook for iScot. No guy was basically saying too many question and uncertainty which I took to be quite realistic given what I seen and heard. Yes guy, "we will be one of the richest nations on this planet with independence!" Seriously deluded or just plain stupid? Yes, it might go OK, can't see it myself, but with statements like this from SNP officials I just feel they have done nothing but lie and create even more hatred of the remaining UK, mostly against the English. Salmond is the new Hitler, brainwashing the masses with nationalism and the English are the jews.

Yes or No to independence will causes issues especially since the promise of more powers to Scotland in the event of a no vote will annoy other nations in the UK.

It will be humiliation for Salmond...most Scots are'nt idiots and nationalism falls at the first direct debit.

I see Andy Murray has outed himself as a total spastic. Basically voting yes purely based on one thing... because the no voters are big meanies! rather than looking at the actual repercussions of voting yes, stupid twat.

Fried in batter, lovely things.
That's probably the most disgusting thing i've ever heard of. I didn't think there were anything more disgusting then a deep fried twinkie, guess i was wrong...

I may be able to beat that, they also offer deep fried pizza because a deep-pan with extra pepperoni & cheese one isn't artery clogging enough.

I've cast my vote, and I've voted Yes.

I just hope you don't come to regret that. At least you know as a fairly successful chap, when independence goes a bit wrong you'll be welcome down here. You can keep the rabid face painters up there though.
