The man is a charlatan and a disgrace. The fact he sees himself as a statesman is perhaps the most tragic thing about him. His party's economic policy could have been written on the back of a **** packet. The SNP's defence plans are even more of a joke. When asked about job security for naval workers at Rosyth under an independent Scotland, Angus Robertson (SNP defence spokesman) assured the workers that Scotland would still need their services, as the SNP planned to have a navy "about the size of Norway's". When asked how many ships Norway's navy currently had, Robertson said "I'm not actually sure but they've got a good website"
 The funniest thing about it is the pro-union lobby haven't had to do anything as yet, they're happy to watch the SNP continually shooting themselves in the foot |

Cozza have you thought about what you have posted,his partys "economic policy"?? are you jesting after what successive governments in England have subjected this country to economically,the biggest blast is the leading foghorn threatening economic chaos for Scotland is Alistair Darling ffs who oversaw with his great chum Gordie an economic apocalypse.Scotland is a country of 5ml people who would have the revenue from oil for the forseeable future,is to the fore in renewables,whisky/fisheries/tourism we if we vote for independance we will be in a far far better position than England who cannot maintain the levels of immigration now/future.

Gordon Brown a Scot ruined the Uk.
Renewables - you are getting paid for them to be switched off most of the time. Revenue from oil my arse half of it would be in English Waters. Most Whisky never leaves the country. Five Hundred billion midges cannot be wrong. Mass immigration - send all sweaties back North of the border...  Feck me even the biggest football team in the country wants to jump ship and go south of the border...  |

Half of the oil would be Englands?? you are S----ing yourselves that we might decide to leave you.Sixty million in England plus another 10 million surging in from Romania/Bulgaria you are going to hell in a handcart and I take no pleasure in that but you are going to be a busted flush,economic downgrade almost certain,the country is all but unmanageable at the moment how will you cope with the next influx of Romanys.

BARNEY21 the SNP have long been advocates for leaving NATO,enough said as a ex-soldier I was proud to serve my country and I for one will be voting a big fat NO to independence.

Salmond to his credit has built a lucrative career on nothing more than a fairy story of independence
He knows as well as everybody else of sound mind knows there is no hope in hell of him winning but he doesnt really care his career is in its twilight years and his fairy story served him well The word in scotland is that Salmond is in collusion with the Tories as a means of keeping Labour from winning seats in westminster So hes not all bad then |

Barney cannot argue with that !!

Over the years Scottish people have taken advantage of freedom of movement into England to seek employment.
That has been an enormous advantage to them. Now, some of them perceive that they will be financially better off without England. If independence happens, my hope is that England withdraws financial support completely and also that English employers do not look favourably on employing them. |

No credible opposition in Scotland, but the SNP are now telling us what we will get (gay marriage, booze minimum pricing etc), rather than what the people really want. This could well be their downfall.
Independence won't happen, devo max would have been a far better option if it was available, but the party were voted in only fair that the referendum takes place. Like eck, I've seen Alex Salmond at the races up here a few times, and he does all the right stuff, mingling with the punters and chatting to people. He even read the raffle results out in the Parade Ring at Perth once. Can't imagine Cameron or Miliband doing that. |

... as long as independence is truly independence if and when it happens
at present, it seems that the pro-independence lobby want everything |
|
By:
I'm sure their is nothing Mr Salmond & his SNP cronies love more than the unwitting recruiting sergeants that are the badly informed little englanders with no idea of history telling the Scots they should be grateful for all the English have done for them.
i think the main reason it will never happen is just 'cos everyone knows it would be a logistical nightmare that no one can afford or really be bothered with. |

Once again if it was not for the English (and I am not one of them) the Scots would be still worrying sheep in the Highlands (those who were left).That is not bigotry you liberal misfit Dave1357 but fact.

strange that the "sheep worriers" had more than twice as many university's in the 16th century than the English. Aberdeen alone had the same number.
England did found a 3rd university until the nineteenth century. Ancient universities of Britain University of Oxford University of Cambridge University of St Andrews University of Glasgow Kings College of Aberdeen University of Edinburgh Marischal College of Aberdeen |

Regardless of the pros and cons,it is or should be every nations right to self determination,Scots have made an enormous contribution to civilization throughout the world hence none other than Winston Churchill stating that along with Ancient Greece no other small country has had as big an impact on civilization as Scotland,Mad Vlad there is more to life than fighting for Queen and country surely you don,t swallow that aul tottie they would/have sold you down the river without batting an eyelid,maybe you should be more proud of your own country and fight for the right to determine what is good for us no wonder the English look at us with disdain do you think they would ever accept being ruled by another country no way they have more bottle,I suggest you get a hold of any historical book of Scots and their contribution to the world it might just surprise you,do you not ever think why the governing classes of England regardless of political colour are going overboard to maintain the status quo,is it because they love us so much and will be terribly upset if we leave even though we are "eating them out of house and home" and paying eff all in the process,you have to be jesting.
