I hope Scotland vote's no, not to keep them as part of our Union, I just don't think that Mr Salmon is the man to take Scotland forward.If anyone else was leader of the SNP, I would want you to vote yes.

Eck is getting on a bit though, he'll not be around that long, he might not even win a post-YES election, not like he would romp a post-naw one, and the whole issue is far greater than any one individual. If we go, hopefully it will give impetus to England reforming it's political affairs against the wishes of it's ruling class, win/win! some folk might take the huff for a while, but we are natural allies in this day and age, and will eventually collaborate on loads of things, but only those we decide to, rather than are told to.

It's not a vote for Salmond , it's a vote for Scotland (Independence) !!!!

"Salmond really thinks he can be the father of his nation, some kind of Ataturk of "

Bit like putin :lol:

"As I observed last week, he has also been ruthless, in a way that echoes the rhetoric and tactics of Nigel Farage in England, at feeding on contemporary discontents and laying them all at the door of everyone's favourite villain, "the Westminster elite"."

:lol:



I am still for the yes vote, I just think the whole thing is a joke tbh, and wtf are our party leaders doing wasting our cash having a fucking holiday in another country! For 1% of oil revenue? Get the fuck home and keep yer noses out, we ain't got a vote so why they there?

Fucking hate politicians

If you change to euro I will be moving north of the border for certain!

Good luck with the Yes vote, if successful it will give Scotland opportunity for change and self control.
I loathe the majority of our Westminster politicians and would be more than happy to cut adrift from them too.
A Yes win gives new hope.
Don't like Salmond at all but he wont be around for ever and at least we can openly see what he is like - some of the UK lot both past and present were 'devious sneaks' whose 'butter wouldn't melt' charm caught a lot of people unaware.
You got a vote - use it wisely.
Cheers

97% of Scots are registered to vote, 4,285,323 people, 5,579 polling stations, that in itself says a lot about the right to vote whatever the choice :shock:

It's a shame it wasn't a bigger margin one way or the other but thats how grown ups deal with the big ones. You dont have to get up in the hills with yer M16's or yer kalashniks and shoot down airliners or fight off the Feds. :D

Quazer I'll wait to hear from the mainstream before I comment on the vid. I mean you could mock that up in 10 minutes.
What a long strange trip it is.

Absolutely sickened by the scenes in Glasgow last night. Fat mouth-breathing huns burning Saltires and attacking women for having the audacity to carry a flag.

I can't fucking wait for Rangers to die again.
Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine....
