Just love the UK..

The Scots can have a referendum and have a go at the English.Smash the windows of "no" supporters and accuse the "English Bankers" of ruining them.
The BBC and English media bend over backwards to be fair to them in an election which they never had any hope of winning getting less than 38% per cent of all possible votes and I am being called a racist....

Nigel Farange is called a racist by the English press and the BBC and what is he doing that is anything different than the SNP apart from that he wants to keep the UK as one...

you're comparing a couple of eejits smashing windows to a whole nation being threatened by world banks, supermarket chiefs. business leaders and words of warning from heads of state around the world? are you an idiot? get a grip of yourself. that's like comparing an altercation in your local pub to WW11

it's hilarious that you actually believed that was a reasonable argument

nah you're more like ali to my larry holmes. in other words a punch-drunk punch-bag

Have a had..

That will the be the stutter..

I pride my self on my grammar...

Barney the YES vote amounted to slightly more than one third of the electorate.
We live in a democracy and the people have spoken, time to move on.

homefortea you are easily offended "cannot use a comma" my oh my,akabula do you think it was democratic/fair wnen the "slant" on all of the issues was overwhelmingly in favour of the NO campaign,however if you are prepared to listen to and believe a clique of lying tired politicians who will lie and cheat again and again then it is your right and the right of those that voted no,we had a chance to come up with a new model something vibrant/colourful/something challenging a change to how we shape our lives for everyone in Scotland and elsewhere,if you do not have a dream/vision then you are in a dark place.

high_lander how could we possibly get our message of hope/vision/dreams across it just would not have made the news they stiffled anything resembling a positive argument,they glorified/eulogised 2 of the worst politicians ever 2 that has driven this country into an enormous amount of debt,2 that must have known about the level of paedophilia at the heart of the establishment,2 that lied their way thro government and continue to lie,2 that took us to war on a huge lie and cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives with more to come yet people went for it fcuking amazing,yet all the English that snipe at us go on returning them and their like with nary a whimper,the NO campaign don,t have a monopoly on "bottling" it.Long live the 45,s the dream goes on.

if you believe this will just be air strikes then think again , mind you the daft feckers listened to gordon brown

And very slightly more for No akabula, NO voters have saved this country from Salmond/Sturgeon you surely are having a laugh,with both hands and feet tied they have made a decent fist of things yet the NO voters listened to two of the most culpable/lying/corrupt politicians of recent times Broonie/Darling that have driven the country into a debt that it is difficult to see being eradicated,Joanne Lamont of the NO/Labour side just about had it right that Scots are genetically programmed to NOT making decisions by themselves,the NO voters have again placed their trust in a clique of establishment figures that have covered up the paedophilia at the heart of the establishment,but change is coming and maybe quicker than you think,none other than the Financial Times saying as much,they cannot/will not keep to their promises and the NO voters will be left looking silly,again we had so many that have no confidence that are negative that have no visions no dreams no plan b just the same tired old politics from a tired old clique instead of voting for something new/bright/colourful/innovative yeah better to stay with the same old dreary tripe,what an outlook for our kids.

And btw two thirds didn't want separation otherwise they would have voted for it.

You don't need to be a separatist to have pride in Scotland, I just feel that we are better off in THE UNION.
So corruption/paedophilia/lies would all disappear simply because we became independent. How?
Confidence/Strength of character? Yes, confidence in THE UNION to continue to benefit us and the strength of character to say so.
BT spend 1.4 billion on football of which we see very little. How would independence change that?
The 80 billion to help business. It earmarks where benefits could apply and will miss out large parts of the UK not just Scotland.
We are responsible for part of the national debt so I fail to see your point there.
Oil? Don't believe everything you read in the papers. Some oil reserves will remain too expensive to extract.
And in our waters? It won't be, or at least the biggest part of it, if the Shetlands become independent.
I presume you would support their cries for independence should they gather pace.
Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland are BETTER TOGETHER.

walofs

Making decisions for me? That will happen whether it's London or Edinburgh.
Ah but it will be Scots you say. We've had a fair few Scottish PMs in recent times and it hasn't done us any favours.
You single out the rail project. Look at the cash the highlands and islands get to sustain the road and services infrastructures.
You failed to answer my question on BT.
Even if Scotland hadn't accepted our share of the debt we would soon have had our own as it was acknowledged we'd need debt to kick start independence.
Shetland have been talking about independence since approx. the 1960s.
As southern Ireland is foreign I was of course referring to the North. Since you mention the South were they proud , confident and full of character when they received their bailout from Europe?

Well if they had wanted independence they would have voted for it, stands to reason.

its 45% / 55% as the votes go not 2/3rds like the NO people want you to believe

You need to remember what wee Nicola said, and I paraphrase, "If you don't get aff yer erse and vote then you are effectively voting NO to independence".

If we do it going by question 3 then YES WINS

akabula you failed to answer the BT question,does Scotland contribute to their revenue answer yes lets say 10% then why doesn,t it receive ANY of the pay out,that,s another negative coming from you,and their is no cash for the west countries roads infrastructure none for Cumbria? more negatives for you,as for Shetland if they want to become a new "country" let them would they in this "new country" let Weatminster use their resources after independence I think not,as for our share of the debt it was explained quite clearly that we would accept our liabilities but in turn would accept our share of the assets,something Osbourne refused to talk about,yes we have had a few Scos PM,s who by and large like all the rest were rubbish,I wouldn,t base my argument on that if I had my way for Scotland I would do away with political parties and elect proven/respected in their particular fields and from all genders walks of life to govern the country,we are not much bigger than the likes of greater Birmingham/Manchester population wise,all decisions would be open and above board out there for the people to see to agree/dis-agree proper democracy if you like,it is after allour/our childrens futures we are talking about,this almost certainly can be achieved,the establishment is failed and corrupt/perverted "the timesthey are a changing" get aboard akabula join the sunshine express look at the clours rather than the grey and dismal we can and should change the landscape we can be an example to Europe/World we can show ordinary folks what can be gained,"dream the dream".

that lot*

I hate to be pedantic but actually they are the 44.7ers. Not quite the same ring to it is there?

I can see the colours, they are the red white and blue of our Union flag.
I can see the joy, it was on the faces of the 55.3% who voted to save THE UNION.
I can hear the music, the disc has Caledonia on one side and Rule Britannia on the other.

But, more importantly, I can do all three from the safety of THE UNION.
