I think up till now the business leaders have worked on the principle that the vote would go No, that everyone would have had their bit of democracy.

A Yes vote will have significant consequences e.g. costs incurred by rUK. A yes vote will open the floodgates throughout Europe for not just fragmentation of countries e.g. Wales, Catalunia will want their crack but the creation of new countries out of parts of adjacent countries. Pais Basco (part of France and Spain) Walonia (part of France and Belgium). Hell lets have North Yorkshire as a country. That way we wouldn't have to share Dracula and smoked Herrings revenue with rUK.

I read somewhere that our Queen is supposed to be neutral on such "democratic" issues. What rubbish. She should have stopped the vote dead in its tracks at the outset and made her government listen to and accommodate the issues of remote government such that they maybe. As I have said before IF it goes ahead, I hope the rUK asks for the Act of Settlement payment back with 300 years of interest.

You mean reverse 800 years of democratic process and make Queen Elizabeth II an absolute monarch?

Now where is Henry VIII?  Where is Charles I?

Inhospitable northern province??? idiot

Takes one to know one.

I'm far from the only person on here who thinks that Scotland is given preferential treatment when compared to England and Wales.

Well said Davie. A very small number of people on here are all big and brave on a computer.

It is obvious to even those of limited intelligence that my post was written 'tongue in cheek'.......the number of smilies are evidence of this.

However, there was always a possibility that it might offend the 'deeply humourless'..... That's life.

[Rog]

Just an idea . . . . . deep fried of course !

[tigers_gonads]

Anyway, back on track .......... 

Yes I know its the Daily Mail before somebody starts blubbing but some very good points made here

How can what you said be humorous? I for one didn't find it funny and i do have a sense of humour. So away and bite my hairy arse

If they vote Yes, whose legal system will be used for the divorce proceedings? 

I assume it will be the English legal system as the Act of Union was drawn up in Westminster?    I bet the big law firms are hoping for a Yes result and will be rubbing their hands together at the prospect!

Will it really....I mean really, make a difference to the average Joe? I'm not sure.

Probably not as according to Salmond and Sturgeon, Scotland is a really wealthy country.  So I think they can afford the costs of the divorce, their own currency, relocation of Trident, their share of the national debt, the establishment of border fences, checkpoints, and patrols etc etc 

Although given the reaction of the markets today to the YouGov poll it might in the short term, as most peoples pensions and investments are tied into the stock market in one way or another.

It amazes me how people(and news channels) latch on to one poll and do it to death. Most of the other polls show the no vote in the majority.
It seems to me that Salmond, like Putin, knows how to make that shower of shit in parliament dance to his tune.

VIVA DURHAM COUNTY! Viva freedom! Viva la Liberacion!

That doesn't include Hartlepool..................

Once the Scots have got their independence heads out of their arses, Hartlepool is going to announce a Unilateral Declaration of Independance. I'm hoping to have two aircraft carriers fishing cobles & their fleet escort groups (armed canoes) Commissioned & ready to patrol Home waters ASAP!
