Join my Facebook group Cabbies for Yes or/and Twitter account @cabbiesforyes if you support Independence, both have been set up today and I'm hoping for good support from cabbies who are in my opinion very knowledgable about everything, together we can spread the Yes word through facts!

For me one of the big questions for debate is Trust!

Westminster or Holyrood?

Answers on a postcard or in your usual manor welcome!

Without Scotland's trade and future trade you too won't have the pound!

Im not trying to convince anyone, It's my opinion and everybody else can have their own opinion...That's the beauty of Democracy, having the ability to practice our principles of social equality without fear of persecution along with the right to free speech.

That said, If you give Eck a chance he'll control your lives completely from cradle to grave, Holyrood Plans an open door policy to entice even more Migrants here (Regardless of hardship caused to his fellow Scots Job Seekers) ....a State empowered Guardian for every Scottish Child (a really sinister plan),.... Millions of Wind Turbines,.... Ban on Nuclear Energy and weapons...etc etc. All without the backing or permission of the good people of Scotland of whom he supposedly represents.

Yet Wee Eck and his mates, Indeed nearly all Holyroods second raters of every political ilk ignore the views of the majority and trample on people opinions as if they neither counted or matter, they just do their own thing whilst sounding like a bunch of Sports Hooligans.

Nahh...Shut Down Holyrood and save some money and do all us Scots a favour please.

So without consideration of how we will vote in 2016 your totally convinced, the white paper is only a business plan, a one party vision, who we vote for in 2016 will be based on what they stand for, that is democracy, your presuming the SNP will govern for ever!

I am not implying anything, I am merely stating a fact - the majority of Scottish goods and services are sold south of the border.

I was responding to your response to Sussex - he stated "But you ain't having our pound." which effectively means as and when Scotland is independent it will have a choice which currency to use.

Now the argument is such that Scotland has three choices - stick with a pound which is determined by the UK government in terms of rates and suchlike - to which the Scots will have very little input - indeed which could actually be contrary to Scottish Government wishes as they have already mooted the idea of lowering corporation tax to Ireland type levels to attract business. This would obviously p*ss off the UK government.

They could start their own currency - which would possibly be a no brainer as it isn't clear if the Scots would need to apply to the EU for membership, if the EU insist they need to re-apply they will insist on the Euro.

Or they could go with the Euro regardless, which would p*ss off a lot of Scots (and English close to the border) and in any case has already been effectively ruled out by the Scots government.

Its a NO from me and a Westminster thumbs up. The UK gvt holds all the cards and for me Big Eck is getting more delusional by the day. The Big issues like the EURO, he says what he hopes will happen but he can not prove anything- his Independant Scotland is getting more watered down by the day, come September he will be a laughing stock.

All in my honest opinion anyway....
