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.

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.

So if it's not broke why are we trying? Where's the positives in what we've got? The NO campaign seem to have problems telling us, perhaps you can help them.

Ever hear of ERM 11? Suggest you google it.

Can't use the pound? Why not? Its our pound as much as anyone else's.
Tell that to the Irish who used it for 60 odd years. Or the Isle of Mann, Channel Islands and a few other places who still do.

Perhaps EW&NI will need a new currency? You could call it the Farage :badgrin:

especially the bit about the Euro.
Ever hear of ERM 11? :

Imagine telling a Jock what he can or can't do. Think they might have learned something about us in 300 years #-o

What is the obsession with the pound? If Scotland decide to go independant they should have their own currency. Lets face it, they print their own notes now so why don't they just continue with that and call it the Scottish pound. It just won't be linked to our pound. They would, however need to have their own coins. I mean it can't cost that much to set it up.

English MPs cannot dictate Scottish education, but Scottish MPs do dictate English education. Scottish MPs have voted for English kids to pay massive University fees, whereas English MPs have no say up in Scotland.
