Come the 19th September you'll never be seen on here again Jimi. You'll be off to join the Scottish Republican Army. Most of those links are like the SNP's policies, there's nothing there...

I forgot about that :) Most Scottish nationalists think they're Irish anyway so he'll have a split personality...

Well,that's one wee problem resolved.:)
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...may-keep-pound

Quote:

A currency union will eventually be agreed between an independent Scotland and the remainder of the UK to ensure fiscal and economic stability on both sides of the border, according to a government minister at the heart of the pro-union campaign.

The private admission comes amid increasing jitters at Westminster, after opinion polls showed an increase in support for independence despite the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats all arguing that Scotland could not keep the pound after a yes vote.

"Of course there would be a currency union," the minister told the Guardian in remarks that will serve as a major boost to the Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond, who accused the UK's three main political parties of "bluff, bluster and bullying" after they all rejected a currency union.

The minister, who would play a central role in the negotiations over the break-up of the UK if there were a yes vote, added: "There would be a highly complex set of negotiations after a yes vote with many moving pieces. The UK wants to keep Trident nuclear weapons at Faslane and the Scottish government wants a currency union – you can see the outlines of a deal."

Yes it will,take it from me Stephen.
Another point for you,my wife has a relative in Hamilton who is a top Labour councillor.
He told me that the SNP are miles ahead but BT are keeping it quiet for fear of a backlash,apparently the latest survey done by the Labour Party themselves I may add, are SNP YES on 56%,BT are on 35% and 9% are still undecided.
Before you,or anyone else for that matter,say its a load of rubbish,(which wouldn't surprise me in the least) then you'll find out sooner or later.
Another wee point,and be truthful about it,how many BT campaigners have you seen in any local towns/cities?
I'll let you know how many the YES campaign had last Saturday throughout Scotland,47.
People are donating huge sums tae YES whilst BT are scrounging for any cash help,THAT is the difference.

Ahh, Jimi Jimi Jimi, always quoting the bits you like and ignoring the bits you don't.

Here you go:

A Downing St source told the BBC: "Nobody in the government who is in involved with this issue has this view. No-one thinks this."

It's also quite spectacularly strange how many private, unpublished polls keep giving Yes a two-thirds vote whereas all the published and verifiable ones keep showing the reverse.

Jimi, I know a man whose cousin knows a wee wummin whose son's teacher's aunty's adopted daughter has a dog that wee'd on your garden wall, and she says that you are Alex Salmond's sister, so it must be true.....

What's the story?

I have to confess to being somewhat bemused that someone as a Chancellor who allegedly "Failed on the economy, failed on the banks, failed on regulation, failed on immigration, failed on Iraq/Afghanistan, failed on energy, failed on the EU, failed on PFI, failed on education" etc, etc is suddenly considered a credible and appropriate authority on all things "Better together".

How is that?

Who is the minister? It's just a quote from someone. :confused:
