IMO, Salmond offered not one single fact as to why Scottish independence is better. Either for the Scott's, or The English.


....but then I haven't watched the whole thing ;D

He does indeed always look surprised. Or taken aback at the gobby arrogant Scott on the other side of the studio. ;D

In my eyes, Salmond made an erse of himself last night.

If he gets his way then he's gonna make an erse of my country as well.

Please no!

Nobody wants to see that. There might be a "healthy" rivalry between the Scott's and the English but its just that, rivalry, as far as I'm concerned. And long may it remain "healthy" :y

That is very true, and I worked in London town for a number of years, trying to keep this rivalry going.
Jeez, I've even got 2 brothers born on the wrong side of the wall.  ;D
The venom that this Yes/No thing is being 'fought' is astounding, and is managing to turn Scot against Scot.
I've actually had to delete friends from the book of face after they've gone all neanderthal on me.
I'll be glad when its all over TBH.

To answer the question. Darling.

One question I would dearly have liked to have asked them was who is going to pay for unravelling Scotland IF it gains independence?

To date no one has actually worked out the cost to the tax payer -that is YOU regardless of where you live in the UK.

Own DVLA ? Send a Scottish task force to the DVLA offices.
Remove Nuclear deterrents from Scottish soil? Scots to pay for every single aspect of that.

The actual cost will be billions of pounds to unravel everything over the years to come. Plus everytime a problem arises RUK (rest of UK) will have to underwrite it.

As I have said before the whole thing makes my blood boil and is nothing more than a Salmond ego trip. I hope on the day those that are allowed to vote , vote No. Hopefully Scotland will gain more ability to set tax levels and so on

Oh and who decided that the rest of the UK couldn't see the debate? Ridiculous.

Independence for North Yorkshire -vote yes :y

Totally agree Varche, except for your final comment, I prefer ..... Better Together independence for the Yorkshire Ridings.  :y

You would think that Salmond would have some answers by now, he has had plenty of time to at least get some credible ideas together.  What Badgerface hit him with was really nothing new or out of the blue.

He should sack his press manager, unless he didn't read his LTT properly in which case it's his own fault.

You're assuming of course that he can read ::)

Not knocking anyone that can't by the way, merely suggesting that someone in his position should be able to...
Not that it seemed to hold Geoff Dubly Bush back any :-X

Why? The question is a Yes/No one. There is no "Not sure" option ::)

Cleggy, you are one of the few people besides me and the Oxford English Dictionary (final arbiter of our wonderful language) to appreciate that scotch is an acceptable, nay preferred, adjective to describe the people as well as the drink.

Makes the whole question moot ::) The useless fat left wing meglomaniacical moron Salmond only suggested the referendum as a cheap ploy to keep his seat on the Scottish Parliament...

The whole sorry mess will bite him on the arse in a big way once people wake up to the fact that he'd sacrifice his own granny to get his way.

Here's a question... Why are Westminster so keen to keep Scotland in the union? Everyone seems to think we are leeches that live off the English governments handouts. That being the case, why does Cameron and co want to keep us? You would think they'd be waving us off with a smile.
There must be a VERY good reason they want us to stay as we are.... Wonder what it is???? ::) ::)

Personally, I think Scotland will vote no, which then leads to a running sore that must be resolved at the same time as any further devolution, "The West Lothian question".

Apparently, according to daft lad  Mr Salmond, if we try and stop him from using the pound sterling that Scotland doesn't have to accept there share of the UK's dept  ::) ;D ;D

Never mind, with a bit of luck, we can soon revoke his passport and send him off to Russia were him and that village people extra, Big Vlad will make a great double act  ;D ;D ;D
