Nick Robinson: "If the Better Together campaign is to be rescued, it will be rescued by Scots, not by Westminster politicians".
I concur. 'No' camp looks like its panicking, which is just as bad as actually panicking, imo. |

Seems like the more the opinion polls suggest it might be a Yes, the more concessions the Government make to the Nationalists.
So, by saying they will vote Yes and at the last minute vote No, they will have the best of both worlds and the rest of the UK will have the worst. |

I believe its come as a suprise to the nationalists that they might actually win the vote. They haven't even made up their minds about the new national anthem yet, evidently its between, Johnny where's your troosers and I belong to Glasgow.
If they vote No it has to be "god save the Queen" That is what they will have done. |

What I don't understand is this pound thing. Surely they can just have their own currency, call it the scottish pound, tie it to the english pound, copy our interest rates and then lets see what the markets make of it. Do they actually expect to have a say in the interest rate setting? would be like Greece all over again, fk that.

Mirror online today highlighting the Yougov poll as suspicious, there was an online campaign on social media by the Yes campaign asking every Yes supporter to sign up to Yougov since it is always their poll results that were taken as gospel and the ones quoted on the TV and newspapers. So the Yougov poll is skewed and I would imagine the media will highlight the poll as being odd like the Mirror have done today then make the direct accusation against the Yes campaign of trying to show a false momentum nearer the time of the actual vote.

Well yes this was always a possibility, Scotland could do it to ANY currency. The SNP are trying to make out Darling saying they could do this was an admission but everyone who knew anything about it knew this anyway, that's just typical SNP bullsh1t. The problem with doing that, "sterlingisation", is that they won't then have control over interest rates etc, they won't have a central bank to back up the financial institutions so they'd be moving HQ to England (which they may do anyway, see last weeks news about Lloyds). Also AFAIK Scotland would have to find significant money to save in the bank to back up the this currency, essentially buy the value in if you see what I mean. You can't just magic up a pile of another countries money and then spend it. And the EU rules apparently don't allow entry to countries without a central bank. The SNP keep trying to muddy the waters (i.e. misinform and lie to voters) of the difference between a currency union and sterlingisation but they are very different things. |

And of course, 90% of the media being on the No side, are completely honest. Just like their right wing masters, whence their "truth"  comes from. |

Uh, I dont think so. On the contrary in fact. The media on the no side will be as guilty of misinformation as any form of the media. |

I don't think the recent big splash about the YouGov poll will necessarily do the Yes campaign any favours. I think it might cause a lot of lazy or apathetic voters to turn out and vote No because they are now worried the Yes vote actually might win.
|
|
By:
But I still think the referendum is a terrible idea anyway. I don't think anybody will come out of it better off whoever wins, mainly down to the resentment and bad feeling it has caused and will continue to cause afterwards.

By:
the way the momentum has been building for yes, suggests that they are winning votes from former No's, not just gaining the undecided. It may be too late for the No's now.

I disagree. I even wondered whether the recent YouGov poll might have been purposely manipulated by the No campaign, because I honestly believe the timing of it has done the No campaign more good than the Yes.

After independence don't feck with the Scots they've got nuclear weapons, Since the end of the cold war I've wondered where are these fecking things are pointing (I know your all thinking France but that is just speculation) Wonder no more, before devolution, one thing only united the Scots nationalists, a pathalogical hatred of the English.
The English might be getting their missiles back quicker than you think, my calculations about 10,000 miles hour. |

Rob, I think you may have misread my post.  Only ONE newspaper, the Sunday Herald, has declared for Yes. |

"NO" happily bobbing between 1.5 in the dead of night and 1.4 during the day. Will do this until the next poll.
