What Ukrainian demand would that be? It is an independent country.

Do you mean Ukraine with it's own currency, a foreign fleet in one its ports, and has just impeached a corrupt despotic leader who refuses to accept reality - some similarities to Scotland, then.... ;)

Is wee Eck going to ask Norway to send troops in?

Ah facts, the arch nemesis of the SNP and their supporters. I suppose trying to explain the complexities of Ukraines history and current political situation to someone whose whole outlook is based on English = bad would be a bit difficult.

Anyway it's not just in Scotland where a yes vote is unappealing to people.

Quote:

More than six out of 10 voters in England and Wales want Scotland to stay in the United Kingdom, according to an Opinium/Observer poll on attitudes towards independence.

Some 61% of the English and Welsh say they want the Scots to stay in the UK, while just 22% say they would prefer them to go their own way as an independent nation.

If you're going to use Bella Caledonia as a reference for independence Jimi you might as well go the whole hog and post links to the highly neutral Sinn Fein and Gerry "Honest" Adams as well. Then for parity I can post links to the EDL and Golden Dawn.

Also we're giving Scotland a vote to decide for themselves. I don't see Russia advocating the same for Ukraine.

Ah, but I am sure we will send in Special Forces to Faslane, and then start "military exercises" along Hadrian's wall.

Oh, wait - no, we're not.....:erm:

Bella Caledonia is a rabid pro-republican anti-British rag that's incapable of giving a fair and unbiased opinion. It feeds the bigots of society with it's hatred towards Britain, which is lapped up by the Irish/Scottish republican/nationalist supporters it aims itself at. It holds no credibility in a debate on Scottish independence. It has no unbiased views. It's unable to see anything without it's green tinted spectacles on. It's a joke, as are it's bigoted contributors who are prominent in the comments sections.

What's wrong with what I said? You're getting a vote to decide your future. I understand this is a novel concept with Salmond and his dodgy interpretation of democracy.

Well they should keep out of the vote as they haven't lived there for ages.

One of the comments at the bottom made me laugh.

Frankie Boyle said that he respects David Bowie's right to express views on Scottish Independence just as he respects Iggy Pop's right to express opinions on the CERN particle accelerator.

Can't wait to hear what Frankie has to say about Sean.

Maybe you should have translated your post into plastic Scottish like Jimi does, he might understand you then :)

Absolutely. I don't know anyone around here who hates the English.
