Gusmac, I hate to say it, but this is little more than a childish spat.
Do you honestly believe that claiming everyone is saying bad things about the Nasties is gonna drive people to vote for pretendy pseudo independence?
You gotta do better than this.
Reality is, folks are gonna look at the security of the pound in their pocket first and foremost. Like who's setting interest rates, money supply, economic control - The London they know, or the Brussels they don't. In these uncertain economis times, that no one predicts will be any better by the time of the vote, who's gonna want to take the huge risk? Who's gonna vote for uncertainty?
Then they're gonna look at people they know in the rest of the UK and ask if they want to live under a separate jurisdiction to them? Parents, siblings, children, friends? Border controls between them and us?
Then they're gonna look at what the break would mean. Simple things like booze runs to Carlisle and Berwick because the Scottish Nasties, in their drive to price alcohol out of use, means that England supermarkets will be selling it cheaper.
Ditto fags, because the Nastie's health kick will increase the price out of our range in their drive to nanny us.
Ditto fuel, well they will claim their price hike is green.
Ditto Pies, Butter, Chocolate - all potential health risks, all ripe for a price hike.
So those who can afford it will be crossing the border to stock up on as much contraband as their Trabants can hold.
But wait, I see it now, the Nasties will tell us that we'll be living on the cheap side of the border

They'll probably expect us to believe them too

But there won't be any need to have border controls?
This is the best yet. Contriband, illegal immigration and the mentailty of isolation will require border controls. That's the way the UK works. All in place in the event that the new natural right wing majority in England, because they are no longer balanced by the missing 50 plus left leaning Scottish MPs, decides to pull the rest of the UK out of Europe.
You'd be as well digging a canal from the Tweed to the Solway and physically separating the two nations. Cos we would effectively be cast adrift.
So crack on Gusmac. Keep up the petted lip defence of your ridiculous policy, cos its got to be the worst case of negative campaigning ever.
