What I can't understand is why so much is being discussed about money.
If I wanted my 'freedom', for want of a better word, I really couldn't give a f*** if it was going to cost me a few quid each week.
It's not about money Itself, It's about currency, most of us Scots like using the pound Sterling, Wee Eck says we still can yet everyone else knows we can't. the mans incapable of being honest with his fellow Scots on the issue of currency.
He Know's full well that If there is a break away from the UK then it would be impossible to use a UK currency, what ever the new currency may be it could never be sterling, whether it be called a Scots pound, Scrote or Jock Dollar...It cannot masquerade on the world stage as £sterling.
It would either need to be a brand new Currency, untried and untested or more likely the EURO, that is if the EU lets us join which also looks unlikely.
As for Freedom, as a Scot I am as free as anyone else in the UK is, why leaving the UK should make me feel even more free annoys me, I'm not a prisoner of the UK nor the English, I'm an equal partner in the Union just like everyone else is.
So, Why feck it all up, 100s of years of good work that has brought about all of our prosperity on a fantasy that being independent will make our lives even better.
Nope, I'll stick with my UK mates and after the Referendum most Scots will have voted to do the same.
If it ain't broke don't fix it or you'll break it in the trying.
