Will Scotland Leave the UK?

We should call ourselves Scotland and demand that the old Scotland change their name.

Or keep the UK but use it to refer to the Union + Scotland just to confuse Americans even further about the difference between the UK, Great Britain, the British Isles and so on.

My Dad is Scottish, my Mum is English. I have large families both north and south of the border. I don't hate the English, I love them. I was born in Falkirk but hold a British passport. This debate is crazy

Well only some 'contributors' to the debate are crazy to be fair...

I Prefer the English version where those who can easily afford to pay do and the rest don't.

You're aware that prescriptions in Wales are free regardless of financial situation right?

Let's not stray too far from el topic, eh?

So, the latest developments in the whole separatist fantasy.

BP's boss warns of 'uncertainties' because of the referendum:

Sainsbury's boss points out that groceries will get more expensive, if English supermarkets stop subsidising the higher costs of distribution in Scotland:

As referendum day looms, the facts are coming home to roost. We have a successful, well-integrated and efficient union. It may not be perfect, but it works, and it works well. The alternative will be a costly mess.

The only sane vote is 'NO'.

Nothing like a well-reasoned rebuttal, supported by evidence...

But what about the points he raised? Rather than give a "I'm right, you're wrong" response can you offer anything to counter them?

Jeez,I had hardly typed out a reply tae Chris (cable forum mod) when two more mods jump in like a shot,are you both off your rocker.
Anyway,I have given my reasons,what I will say is this,I posted on Twitter to an number of followers that the 'Dirty Tricks' mob would be out in force over the next few months,any neutral looking in on this debate would clearly see how frightened you are,you are but won't admit it,aren't you.
A 5% swing ing the polls will have Better Together in a complete panic,you all thought at the outset that it would be a formality but now you all have squeaky bums,get used tae it chaps,our day will come,mark my words.

Mods are allowed to have opinions too.

You could have saved yourself time and effort by simply replying "no".

sorry, I can't understand what you're saying.

[Osem]

I cannot wait for the referendum, especially if its a NO.
