Scottish Independance

Or what? (I thought it was supposed to be sorted with 18 months?)

1) It doesn't happen and it's all off. And what about if a Yes vote that is only by a tiny majority, and nothing is ever agreed? (years and years of chaos).
2) Scotland does it unilaterally without agreement with rest of UK?
3) Something else?

Personally, if there's a Yes Vote, I reckon the resulting chaos will go on for many, many years. Should the cost of that to the rest of the UK be taken into account in the calculations?

 

I Know there are SHOALS of Scottish people sick to the GILLS,
hearing SALMON D , STURGEON, and SWIMMEY , SPOUTING , FISH. ..

 

My Bloody pension is in Scotland

I don't want it to be payed in Groats

 

Nahhhh, not groats Zigs but oats!

 

Ha ha you'll be lucky with groats the way the city is reacting we will be lucky to be paid Bawbees!

 

I have already voted NO. I am British AND Scottish. I and anybody I know are horrified and extremely worried that there just could be a YES vote IF and it's 1 hell of big if you believe what is being spouted by the polls.

My biggest fear is whether Scotland will ever really recover from this even after a NO vote. There is real hatred about. I know of 3 people who have been verbally and 1 physically abused by YES voters. All 7 NO voting placards in fields between where I live and my nearest small town (about 12 miles away) have been vandalised and I live in a rural area.

I spent the 1st 20 odd years of my life in England and while I choose to live in Scotland, England and The English are my neighbours. Yes there are some things which annoy us Scots about the English but no doubt the reverse applies. That said I'd rather have England for a neighbour than any other country.

My husband who is Irish and knows plenty about how there can be warring within a single country did say some time ago that this whole affair might lead to a civil war. I thought at the time that he was being completely over the top. Having witnessed the behaviour of some recently I am not so sure now. I never thought I would be embarrassed at calling myself Scottish but if there is a YES vote then we as a family will have to think seriously as to whether we should stay. I'd hate to leave all my friends here and have worked my socks off to create a not bad 1 1/2 acre garden, hell I've only just had a new greenhouse put up and planted many many new shrubs/trees. All that said the thought of being ruled over by the likes of wee Eck (Salmond) and his side kick Sturgeon with no brakes on his plans being applied by South of The Border I doubt we will stay.

If it's a YES then I will have to accept the majority vote but it doesn't mean I have to stay here and be ruled over by despots. I have a soft spot for Northumberland!

 

Salmond and his cronies have apparently commented that the visit by DC, Cleggy and Darling will just support the Yes campaign, because, and this was his reasoning, these are the three all time least popular men in politics.

Has he not heard that there's a general election next year anyway? I do hope he's not trying to affect everyone's lives for ever just because he doesn't like some people who are only temporarily in power.

And whatever he thinks privately, the man is insane to say how he hates these people in power in Westminster. Does he not realise that even if he gets his way, he still has to do business with them and negotiate with them? He'll still be needing trade and most likely (short term at least) funding from this side of the border. Imagine going to your bank and saying, "I really hate you, I might decide to default on any debt I have with you, nobody likes you or trusts you, but can I borrow some money anyway and can we do business please?". The man is a raving lunatic.

And what if the vote is No? Would it be wise for central government to plough lots of investment into Scotland knowing that they might simply call for a referendum again and pull out?

Lets see what happens. I hope common sense prevails.
