You must have missed Elaine Smith getting torn apart, the green lunatic dismissing 8000 job losses and telling the world iScotland won't use fossil fuels (unless I missed a memo that includes oil) and the yes panel telling the audience the white paper on independence wasn't what was going to be on offer.

I have legal advice on EU entry.
I've started technical discussions on a currency union with the Bank of England.

Two absolute whoppers right there that far outweigh anything the no camp has spun.

Mr Salmond, who has previously admitted that sterlingisation would merely be a stopgap, insisted the former commissioner was “wrong”. However, he refused three times when challenged by the Telegraph to say what currency would be adopted in the long term.

Mr Rehn, a Finnish MEP, served as the commissioner in charge of economic affairs and the euro between February 2010 and July this year. For the previous five years, he was commissioner in charge of enlargement, meaning he oversaw the accession of new member states.

Mr Salmond has claimed an independent Scotland would start life in the EU thanks to a fast-tracked membership process that would see the European treaties tweaked to include the new member state.

But Mr Rehn rejected this in his letter, dated today, saying Scotland would be forced to apply using the “normal well-known procedures” and meet all the necessary criteria.
Yes Alex the person who oversaw enlargement for several years is wrong and you're right.
