A good quote gusmac - he is spot on

"I would like to present an alternative view from an ordinary English person, to show that we're not all as removed from reality as the English celebrities who put their personal abstract sense of shared citizenship above the very real needs of ordinary Scottish people." Ain't that the truth

"If we'd had greater autonomy from Westminster, then perhaps our local representatives might have fought to protect our vital industries (steel, coal, fishing, transport), rather than letting the Westminster establishment deliberately ruin our industries, jobs and communities as part of their insane ideological experiment in turning the UK economy into a supposed "post-industrial society" built around the city of London financial sector (and we all know how that absurd fantasy turned out)." Yes, a sector absolutely ridden with fraud and simply not serving the urgent needs of our economy

I Smell YES camp desperation growing ever stronger the closer the referendum gets, All their Bull is getting stronger as the gaping holes in their arguments are shot to bits.

They assume that the majority of the people in Scotland are gullible enough to believe all that Wee Eck and his mates say, We're not.

They Can't Keep the pound, North sea Oil supplies are diminishing, They won't be given Automatic membership of their beloved EU and they Cannot prove that things will get any better in a Post Independence Scotland.

Bring on the 18th of September and lets have an end to this nuisance of a vote once and for all, then we can sit back and watch as they devour Wee Eck and his cronies for losing their already lost cause.

What is your problem? Your arguments are utter guff, and completely devoid of any factual or logical content, in fact completely typical of the entire No campaign. We are trying to run a country here - keep out of it if you haven't grown up enough.

It's not me with a Problem, I like most Scots am comfortable to live as Part of the United Kingdom.

Calm down, Gosh know how badly you guys are going to take things when your bubble is finally by the 19th of Sept.

The majority of NO voters are far from comfortable. They fear change and playing on those fears is all your Tory loving No camp have to offer.
If you are comfortable, then you are a fool. :badgrin:

If a No vote goes through it just means Independence will be defered for a future referendum in 5-10 years times. In a way, not an entirely bad result because it gives us even more time to prepare and to gain further support, and perhaps sway those many undecided and confused by No rhetoric. Another 5-10 years of what Westminster has in store for us will see living standards drop dramatically and our society become even more divided, while all the while we could have been a wealthy small independent country with copious resources and a govt accountable to its people - as one one young Polish lady in my taxi said to me the other evening - THIS is a very beautiful country

:)

So what you mean is that you won't accept what the people of Scotland want if it isn't what you want. Very democratic.

Its not necessarily what they want if they have been fed with lies and scare stories from the No campaign and effectively brain-washed - only time for reflection will make them realize how much they have been duped. When the No campaign is so bitter and negative, it is a sure sign that something of great value is at stake - and that is precisely why we need to claim it.

Cam gave up a whole shipyard to secure the no vote, if they vote yes he should place no orders with it

I would urge all Yes supporters here to remember to display a Yes sticker on their taxis to show their support, and remind the general public to make the right decision for Scotland's future - remember this will affect our children and our grandchildren. To pass up this great opportunity would be a collosal mistake, and a gigantic step backwards. The Union has never been good for Scotland and its time is now over.

I have placed it in my cab as requested, not sure what good it will do in Manchester ?
