I'm glad we've established your double standards within 60 minutes of you joining this discussion. What were you saying earlier about laughing at rubbish?
As for "separatist": Yes. I prefer to call a spade a spade. I reject the SNP's attempt to frame this as a nationalist issue; I know plenty of Scottish-born people who are extremely proud of their nation and wish to see that nation flourish, but who reject separatism as the means by which it might flourish.
Separatism is one possible expression of nationalism and is the one the SNP is peddling. And, for the very many reasons we have gone over, and over, and over, in this thread, separatism is a pig in a poke.

No double standards as i said I care not about the politicians
They will twist their arguments and select facts to suit them self’s as that’s how politicians work. I have my opinion, which I haven’t given yet, based on an emotional and a practical fact based argument.
As to your comment “Scottish born “ why is a birth location an issue in this debate on either side, if come 18 September you are living in Scotland and eligible to vote that’s the issue. Are you suggesting we should limit the vote only to those born in Scotland??
And of course it’s a nationalist issue; the democratic vote of the Scottish nation is what will decide this one way or the other.
