Should Scotland be an independent country?

Thanks for your fascinating contribution. Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

I think this reply may be equally applied to Prime Minister Cameron, his pet Nick Clegg, and the ginormous nose of a man that is Ed Milliband after their carefully stage managed damage limitation campaigns today.

Maybe when you're there you can use that well honed pedantry of yours to take him through the article and explain the nuances of such complex terms as 'Scotland' 'Britain' 'New Labour' and 'Sovereignty' as well as just do basic fact checking on what was said in the article-he seems either woefully blinkered or incredibly stupid.

If you add an @ then you can have a direct pop at someone

Watching the BBCs wonderful yes/no comedy programme thing. Jack Dee is singing, this is your fault you Scottish cunts.

@bothwell you're not from Bothwell Bridge are you?

Nope, not even close. I'm actually from the East coast, so on the wrong side of the country entirely.

I obtained the name "bothwell" through needing to quickly register a username for anonymously trolling a website while watching telly one day. The thing that was on telly was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LanuPqvjuA
and as I was thinking "perhaps this will inspire me", Mary on t'telly said "something blah blah something, Bothwell something" and I thought "oh, that sounds like a good name" and stole it.

Apropos Salmond, one of my friends was telling me that the consensus on him from all the old ladies in his local beauty salon (I have no idea what he was doing in a hairdressers as he hasn't got any hair and he doesn't get his nails done) is one of manifest distrust. "Wee kiddy fiddler", they said, allegedly.

He didn't turn up. :(

Orange Order marching in force to support the No campaign today. That'll help.

'grim economic reality of leaving the UK' is todays meeja massage seemingly

i hear the forum have dispatched hippy to scotland with all haste to turn things around

Get him to write his crib notes on the back of his hand - that'll definitely work... ;-)

so Murdoch is expected to announce that the Scottish Sun newspaper will openly back Yes

payback for phone hacking enquiry much?!

To misquote AndyP, yet another reason to vote no.

Can someone explain to me how booting out the neo-liberal elite is consistent with palling up to Rupert Murdoch?

Wasn't this mentioned ages ago elsewhere? something about tax benfits of moving newscorp to scotland if they become independant? let me try to learn the search function...

Rupert's already telling Salmond how to run the country on Twitter.

Okay, how would Salmond govern? Socialist paradise no.
People need jobs, decent pay, streamline bureaucracy,new investment. No EU.

Thanks babe

So if Murdoch independently decides to use the Independence bandwagon to his advantage, this is tantamount to the Yes campaign 'palling up' to him?

The Yes campaign has had the sole backing of the Sunday Herald. Every other media organisation has been very much in the No camp, reflecting the interests of their owners and share holders, and yet social media and grassroots campaigning has overcome both this and a substantial lead for the No campaign. One week before the vote, The Sun may be going over to Yes, and now there's cries of 'self interest'?

Do you treat Blair and Cameron's respective courtships of him with equal disdain, or just when it doesn't suit your own position? Do you not find it troubling the way the BBC has been so biased in their coverage when it should be politically neutral?

I can't find anything in the search, so that murdoch thing might be something I made up.

Can scotland be a tax haven?

Why not, London is.

The South English have a Parliament which works for their best interests already?

I think you'd find a lot of people living in the South who disagree with that statement.
