Scottish Independence, yay or nay?

[Mendoza]

Nice hat.

[Dr Nowt]

Nice hat.

 

Rakish angle, as well.

Where's Frankie Boyle?

[Anubis]

You know what else would be a good laugh. Putting the royal family, the aristocracy, the lords, the career politicians, the bankers, doing things you don't want to do all onto a giant rocket ship and firing it into a mountain.

 

Or into Scotland.

 

 

 

Absolutely not, m'am. They can take you with them.....

[Sugar Ape]

Where's Frankie Boyle?

 

Waste of my fucking time!

 

[mattyq]

Plymouth certainly needs it.

That Lido in Plymouth is fucking brilliant

[lifetime fan]

Waste of my fucking time!

 

 

I need a fucking shower after watching that cunt.

[Mook]

But how do you know what that money will be worth in the event of a yes?

Well it would buy my a pint of milk at the corner shop.

 

I'm in the process of buying a house so won't have any savings by November anyway.

[Paisley Red]

As with everything with regards to independence no one can be certain until it happens. I think it's likely they will move south but you never know. Would a deal to keep the nukes up there in

exchange for a currency union surprise anyone?

That's what the 'unnamed Cabinet minister' suggested months ago; wouldn't surprise me at all especially if the City starts lobbying the UK government for a Currency Union. The SNP have committed to removing Trident and people here want it gone but the deal could involve

giving the UK 20 years to come up with somewhere to put it rather than 4.

Now, I know a lot of people don't like him, and I think he has fucked his own career up in many ways, but I'll never concede that this guy isn't intelligent and a superb political operator (I'd say the same of other people I didn't like, like Alistair Campbell, for example).

 

[Spy Bee]

Stock markets are not down this year though, and he's advising a man ruling a country that he shouldn't visit there. That tells it's own story.

 

With that said, he is very articulate and an excellent orator, not to mention a wonderful pussycat!

The last thing the No campaign need is hearing from Cameron.

[The Golden Eel]

I'd never really heard of Scotland before all this stuff on the news. Just assumed it was a village in England

"How a 'Yes' vote could transform Scottish society by ending the intellectually bankrupt oil tax regime."

 

Interesting take on energy from Al Jazeera.

Oh I don't know, Campbell has his plus points too.

 

 

 

'this is live on television. Dignity, dignity'.

[Dougie Do'ins]

By the way the No vote will win.

I'm not so sure. Even if it is a no win, it'll be so close I think there'll be another vote as soon as time allows.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I've got to say, I'm starting to think the Yes vote has a credible shot. I would have bet the farm No would win, but I'm getting a bit shaky on that.

[Dr Nowt]

Oh I don't know, Campbell has his plus points too.

 

 

 

'this is live on television. Dignity, dignity'.

 

Ha!  Exactly what I thought of.  Loathsome as Campbell is, that clip speaks volumes for what a cuntish editorial policy Sky have and how perfectly Boulton fits it to have come off so unsympathetically compared to him.

I remember seeing an interview with the bloke who owns the big refinery at Grangemouth and he supported independence as he said he could just pick up a phone and get put onto Salmond straight away

So a leading member of the intellectually bankrupt oil tax regime has Salmond at his beck and call. Hmm, same with Murdoch and Trump

I really admire all the hope and optimism of the Yes Campaign...shame it only applies to one part of the UK

[stringvest]

Not scaremongering, common sense.

 

In England, with the pound, the Bank of England has shown what it can do in a crisis.

 

Scotland will have no reserves, no contingency fund, and no track record. Of course it could put money aside, money that could be used for other things.

 

Some tough choices, and a dose of reality, face a yes vote.

 

There seems to be a sense that Alex has a dream, and that anyone who doesn't dream too is a spoilsport. But like all dreams, at some point you wake up.

 

You seem to be hamstrung by a critical lack of imagination Xerxes.  A dose of reality faces a No vote.  And that reality will continue to be a miserable one for the Scots.  

[stringvest]

The last thing the No campaign need is hearing from Cameron.

 

Like getting Nick Griffin to give a speech at a Rock Against Racism rally  

[stringvest]

My brother works at RBS and hasn't heard anything about all these bank accounts closing.

 

 

 

that's because it isn't happening.

[Pureblood]

I'd say either way the ordinary Scottish people are in for some pain but probably less pain with a yes vote. Yes = short term pain for long term gain?

[Pureblood]

"It's very important for the people of Scotland to understand that this is about the future of Scotland." 

 

Patronising bawbag. 

[xerxes]

 A dose of reality faces a No vote.  And that reality will continue to be a miserable one for the Scots.

I can't argue with that.
