He might not like the English but the yes campaign is slowly becoming more and more bitter and divisive with everything wrong in Scotland, and it's a long list, being blamed on the English to try and scrape some votes from those who think Braveheart was a historical documentary.

Have a lot of friends in Scotland and not one is voting yes, face it Jimi, you are in the mad minority.

If it wasn't for my friends up there I wish you would get the yes vote then I could could laugh at you as Scotland sank faster than the titanic. Then when you come back with the begging bowl, we could all respond with a massive -mod edit-.

So the smug fat one has really lost all sense of reality. Part of his speech at the SNP conference from this week....

Quote:

The SNP leader said: "The more the people of Scotland hear the case for 'No', the more likely they are to vote 'Yes'.


"And no wonder - they are the most miserable, negative, depressing and thoroughly boring campaign in modern political history.


"They are already out of touch with the people and now, I fear, they're losing touch with reality."


In contrast, Mr Salmond said, the "Yes" campaign was "positive, uplifting and hopeful", adding: "That is the basis on which we shall win this referendum and shall win our independence."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...itics-26997887

He really doesn't have a clue. Still no idea what currency we would use or any hard facts but apparently the BT campaign has lost touch with reality!! and their campaign is positive and hopeful hahaha:o:

Tbh I swing between pro independence and complete indifference so after all the lies and ineptitude the snp have shown if the Scots still vote for them after their hands are caught in the cookie jar then frankly they'll get all they deserve.

Scottish independence: Better Together is truly scraping the barrel now
George Robertson and his ilk are hardly of the calibre needed to boost the campaign against independence

Quote:



Kevin McKenna
The Observer, Sunday 13 April 2014


In Eamonn's Bar off East 45th Street in Midtown Manhattan last week, the talk turned to Scottish independence. The young fella with the funky glasses and the tartan tie to my left is a bar owner himself and a native New Yorker and had observed the tartan parade down Madison Avenue that had kicked off Scotland Week in the US the day before.

Both he and Sean, the bartender, were knowledgeable about the Scottish independence debate and aware that the polls are pointing to a close finish in September.

Goodbye to Labour complacency and 'forces of darkness' ... hello new Scotland

Iain Macwhirter
Columnist
Sunday 13 April 2014
Watching the SNP at their Aberdeen conference this weekend, on the eve of a referendum on independence, I couldn't help thinking how extraordinary it is that this is happening at all.

The party may be 80 years old, but it spent most of that time in obscurity. It was Labour that led the drive to restore the Scottish Parliament in the 1980s. In the early years of Holyrood, the SNP seemed to be going backwards, and many of the measures that are now seen as SNP policies - free higher education, personal care - were actually products of the Labour-led coalition. This is the "free stuff" policy that Labour policy advisers like John McTernan now speak of with contempt.

Labour allowed the SNP to become the party of the NHS, nuclear disarmament and free education, while it has become the party of the benefits cap, immigration controls and weapons of mass destruction. I sometimes have to mentally pinch myself to remember that this is actually the case. But it is. Last month, Labour MPs voted overwhelmingly for the Coalition's arbitrary welfare cap - surely a defining moment in British politics.

Clearly you're full of confidence, have you got a Plan B if it doesn't work out?

As an Englishman myself, I'm not terribly bothered either way,and doubt the decision, whatever way it falls will make an ounce of difference to my life.

It won't happen. When your lot and ours were offered devolution and all we managed was a glorified town council (the Welsh Assembly) it was rumoured that back then that for some reason Yorkshire wanted its own assembly, followed by some other regions. It didn't materialise in those days and it won't now.

In all seriousness, you're clearly very confident of a Yes result but have you actually considered what you (personally, not the Scots) will do if it's a 'no'? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely interested. I'm sure even AS has some sort of contingency plan. If it doesn't go your way I'm hoping you'll accept the result and not look to blame any sort of conspiracy etc, I'm fairly certain enough people have access to the internet to check on whatever claims are being made and judge for themselves if they're real.

If it turns out as a 'no' (I'm not too bothered either way but I think I'd prefer a United Kingdom) it's unlikely another vote will be allowed for many years, decades even. What will you do in the meantime?

Yes men really don't listen do they? You've been told a few times. Ow the the pound won't be kept and that Scotland will have different taxes and rates.

Scotland would be a separate Country so they could require border checks to enter England Ireland and Wales.

Another forum I'm on,there's a solitary BT voter who's been getting it in the neck,I've told the YES voters that he's entitled tae his opinion like everyone else,fair doos tae him.

The utterly barmy Lord Fraser with this...
Mr Fraser insisted that if the Scottish people voted in favour of Scottish independence, the country would be left undefended. He expressed his fear that enemies of the rump-UK would then be able to use Scotland as a base for launching air strikes, adding: "If that were to happen what alternative would England have but to come and bomb the hell out of Glasgow airport and Edinburgh airport.":)

http://www.heraldscotland.com/politi...ports.17005697
Then we have loony George Galloway coming out with If Scotland had been an independent country in the 1930s we would all be speaking German.

Up next we have the latest attempt from BT,no,its not April 1st.

So you want to leave the UK but yet remain in the EU? Thats just plain daft. especially as an IScotland wouldn't be allowed to join the EU.

Also those stories yet again do not have any stories or evidence to back up or confirm any of the Yes campaigns so called 'plans' all you are doing is trying to shift the focus away from the fact that there are no actual plans.

So it will will it?

Scotsman
Quote:

But Mr Barroso suggested for the first time yesterday that a newly independent nation may not even be allowed into the EU if it applied as a new member.


The EC president said: “In case there is a new country, a new state, coming out of a current member state, it will have to apply and the application and the accession to the European Union will have to be approved by all the other member states of the European Union.”


He added: “I don’t want to interfere on your referendum here, your democratic discussion here, but of course it will be extremely difficult to get the approval of all the other member states to have a new member coming from one member state.
“We have seen Spain has been opposing even the recognition of Kosovo, for instance.



“So it is to some extent a similar case because it’s a new country and so I believe it’s going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, a new member state coming out of one of our countries getting the agreement of the others.”


The intervention came after Chancellor George Osborne insisted last week that Mr Salmond’s plan for an independent Scotland to share the pound with the remainder of the UK would “not work” and “was not going to happen”.
Telegraph

Quote:

There are basically six steps (by my rough categorisation). Salmond’s biggest problem is that for half of these, each of the 28 EU states, including rUK and Spain, has a veto:
Step 1 – Scotland applies to join the EU: Under EU law, it would have to be an independent country to apply.
Step 2 – The European Commission “screens” Scottish law to see if the country is compatible with EU membership – this won’t be an issue.
Step 3 – EU governments decide whether to approve Scotland’s EU application. All EU states have a veto.
Step 4 – The EU and Scotland begin negotiations over individual EU policy areas. There are now 35 so-called “accession chapters” covering everything from the euro to employment law to the EU budget. Each country has a veto over the decision to both open and then to close every single chapter – ask Turkey how easy that has proven (read: Cyprus and France). It’s in these talks that Salmond would need to deliver on his pledge to get an opt-out from the euro, as well as replicating the UK’s special deals on the EU budget, crime and immigration and passport controls.
Step 5 – When the 35th chapter is agreed, the Accession Treaty with the Scottish terms of entry is drafted.
Step 6 – This Treaty must then be ratified by the Parliaments of each EU country and the European Parliament. If one says no, the deal falls.
Iceland officially applied to the EU in June 2009. In 2013, when the bid was dropped, it had completed about a third of the negotiations. So if the letter of the law is followed, Scotland might join the EU just before Serbia, several years from now.
So unless all member states agree, then Scotland wouldn't be joining the EU.

Oh and part of that also confirms that there may well be Border checks.

Facts, there are rather interesting.

It would have every right to APPLY to join the EU. And as a new member it would have to accept the Euro (Which would mean BIG cuts in spending to get within deficit limits), Schengen and numerous other impositions that wold leave Scotland nowhere near independent as I would think of it.

So really you want to go from a union that's lasted hundreds of years, where Scotland has arguably a disproportionate voice, to one that's a decade or so old and would have Scotland as a VERY junior member?

So really you want to go from a union that's lasted hundreds of years, where Scotland has arguably a disproportionate voice, to one that's a decade or so old and would have Scotland as a VERY junior member?

Course he would 'cos he's really thought this all through... :D

Salmond's delusions of grandeur seem to have extended to (and depend upon) an Independent Scotland being able to dictate what it wants from the rest of the world in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

You'd also have to agree to join the Euro. So that'd be a substantial proportion of laws made elsewhere and having no control of currency.

Because the elephant in the room is the Seps' visceral hatred of England and the English. Eck has worked very, very hard to bury that inconvenient fact to the point where there are now plenty of useful (English) idiots in Scotland that cheer on the idea of "independence", but that simmering, festering hatred is, beneath it all, what this is all about.

The Seps know, and loathe, the fact that the Union with the English gives Scotland an economic stability it would lack if it were truly out in the world on its own so they seek to replace that union with one of a different kind. Union with the Brussels machine, as a very junior partner with little influence, would ensure "independent" Scotland would be anything but. But Brussels isn't London, and that's all that matters.

Anyone But England, as they say. How sad that there are people who want to take a taunt off the football terraces and actually apply it to their entire national future.

Interesting (if not controversial).

"Dumping a share of the UK's debt would be worth twice as much to an independent Scotland as North Sea oil, academics have said.

It would improve the nation's fiscal balance from an otherwise poor outlook, the Glasgow University report said.

Scottish ministers said it demonstrated Scotland's strong position in the event of a referendum "Yes" vote".

Mmmmm - wait for the outcome of the vote before negotiating terms.

So, if "Yes" win, and if Rest of the UK don't agree with the SNP requirements raised during the negotiations, no matter how outrageous they are, Alex et al can invoke "will of the people", even though "the people" didn't know the specifics.

Sounds like a blank cheque (politically) for the SNP if they win.....

The SNP's plan for a post-Yes vote is to blame everything on Westminster and/or London when they don't get everything they've promised their electorate. You can never go wrong blaming London.

Because big Eck says so. He's also got promises and assurances that not only will Scotland be welcomed and fast tracked into the EU we can choose to only take the bits of EU law we want as well as keeping the pound.

The only problem is the assurances are secret so he can't show anyone till after the vote and anyone who says otherwise is a bully.

Mmmmmm - pretty much so, yes.

The 2012 Memorandum requires the signatories to work for the common good and "The two governments are committed to continue to work together constructively in the light of the outcome, whatever it is, in the best interests of the people of Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom."

Salmond can rant and rave (see: "Negotiate") all he wants in the event that he does actually have a democratic majority voting for independence.

I suspect this is exactly why there is so much negativity being bandied about.

Salmond can't rant and rave but suddenly the Scottish won't be Westminster's constituents anymore and they'll play hardball to protect British interests. We won't want to concede anymore than we have to. The UK holds most of the cards, the only one Scotland would hold is the threat to walk away from the debt. Their bargaining chips are Oil and Faslane. Both of which seem to be red lines as the oil is to to pay for everything and a nuclear free Scotland is one of their main principles.

It's actually a point I don't think the Yes campaign has grasped. Scotland and Britain would be rival countries. We'll compete for the same businesses. One of Salmond's great ideas is to cut corporation tax and this is lauded as a genius way to grow the Scottish Economy and take business away from London. Yet implicit in this is an idea that Britain would sit back and let that happen. Do they really think the Conservatives will bulk at the idea of cutting corporation tax? When it comes to cutting taxes who would hold their nerve more, the Tories or the SNP?

Too many in the Yes campaign seem to think this is Independence with all the perks and none of the drawbacks. Scotland as it is now but richer. They've been cocooned away from the rough-and-tumble of the world stage and difficult choices instead choosing to blame London for every ill.

Salmond's "stop bulling Scotland" tactic isn't going to work when try to secure trade deals with Foreign leaders.

Speculation is certainly healthy for debate, Damien.

The fact remains, however, that an agreement has been signed ensuring "...the best interests of the people of Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom." will be what is thrashed out after the outcome of the referendum is known - irrespective of what that eventual outcome might be.

What exactly that might involve is anyones guess.

Ok, there's a few scots people on here but only one who seems so sure that the yes vote will win. Bit of a rough and ready poll but does give an indication.

You mention forums that you frequent but it looks like a place where football hooligans hide.

To be quite frank Jimi if it wasn't for other people I know in Scotland I really wish you would get your way and then you could all celebrate in your own mire that you created.

Do you vote Tory,a very simple question.
If so,are you in with all those posh snobs like Osbourne,Johnson,Gove etc etc who are amongst the most despicable creatures God put on this planet.
Then again,they can take us all for a ride now,can't they !!! :(

Yes, the most successful political union in history, which has delivered 300 years of political stability to the inhabitants of this island, should be dissolved because of something that might have happened in a Manchester hotel last autumn.

That really does just about sum up the intellectual prowess behind Scottish separatism.
