"Because its one of the biggest events in UK history with huge implications for everyone in the country! " The Scots have been lamenting since the battle with King Edward about their much beloved lost land.... I guess countries do carry baggage for eons just like people do. A 'great' way to show the rising generations how to be mmmmm. Well here's hoping that if it is yes for Scotland that their anthem will change to much more cheeri-er words. | |||

The ignorance of some people never fails to shock me...... ![]() Er, the English also did not vote for the government we currently have. There should have been a re-election but the government we got lumbered with changed the rules to allow themselves to stay in power. As the electorate we should be able to say that's not permissible or acceptable. The problem is that our politicians think they can do as they like, and they actually seem to be able to! It occurs to me that with a smaller pool of voters in each country, it may be more difficult to campaign against these things, which is what we should be doing. Allowing our politicians to set their own rules, expenses, salary, perks, and everything else, and not to be able to even insist they attend Parliament and represent us, is just mad. As for allowing parties to know which way individuals vote, and making them vote with the party is leaving the party open to insisting MPs vote against the wishes of their constituents, which is actually their job! WE, as he electorate, allow all this. Our politicians totally take the piss, but we let them do it. | |||

The ignorance of some people never fails to shock me...... ![]() That's how is works in a democracy. Someone will always be unhappy at who gets in. So you were happy with the 13 years of Labour that YOU as a scot helped get into power. Who then did nothing but perpetuate Tory policy by a different name, who arguably did more damage to the country's finances than the Tories have done in the last 4 years. And you honestly think that an independent Scotland will be any better? The way this vote is going alone will leave 50% of the country unhappy with the result either way it goes, but they'll have to put up with it. The union has been great for both countries, the trouble is people like you thinking that if you'd been independent all along every fucker up here would have their own mansion and private oil well. Well you wouldn't. If you're lucky you'd be in the exact same position you are in now, and I'll tell you why.... The only people independence is going to be good for are the people who are already rich. As they are the ones who want payback for funding the campaigns. | |||

"then how come the people of Scotland vote for a government and get stuck with another oh that's a good union for us.get real and keep your English government to yourself " over the last 20'ish years there has been a labour government for 75%ish of the time. So that argument doesn't really hold water. | |||

"Not sure whether this is 100% true but I've heard a 'Yes' vote will ensure that we always have a conservative government as we don't have enough Labour MP's in England and Wales. That's a scary thought." People keep quoting this but it's not really true. Labour would have won in 1997, 2001 and 2005 even if you didn't include Scottish votes. | |||

"Even on a high turnout, there's still likely to be 20% or so of people who haven't voted at all. Since all the polling is so close, if it's a yes vote, it will have been done on the basis of a minority of the country choosing independence because those people have not voted. It's a pretty big deal for the future of Scotland and the rest of the uk to be determined by such a small number of people.

"Cameron will go down in history as the person that broke up the union. As for Mr Milliband he knows he can't get to No 10 without the Scots. LIB Dems follow any party just to be in government. " So why are the Tories so dead against it? They dont do well in Scotland at all so by breaking away ( or allowing the Scots to do their dirty work) theyre cutting out negating shedloads of safe labour seats. I.E. culling the opposition numbers. The Scots would be better sticking with Britain and helping fight the for the working classes IMHO. | |||

"So Scotland never gets the government it votes for, Really? 1951 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt. 1955 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt. 1959 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt.... 1964 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory. 1966 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 1974 (February) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory, 1974 (October) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 1979, 1983, 1987 & 1992 we had a Tory Govt thanks to the motion of No Confidence in Jim Callaghan's Labour Govt that the SNP tabled. When Thatcher realised that the SNP were siding with her she then tabled her own motion of No Confidence, which took precedence over the SNP's motion. Supported by the 11 SNP MPs her motion of No Confidence was carried by 1 vote. The SNP are responsible for starting the Thatcher years. 1997 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2001 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2005 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2010 Nobody got the Govt they voted for - only 7 months to go to the next election. In 1999, Labour delivered devolution and no one can dispute that in 1997, 2003, 2007 and 2011 Scotland got what it voted for."" Salmond would have your head on a spike for saying that. You may even get a couple of thousand yes campaigners on you doorstep in protest at your lies and scaremongering. Funny thing though. What you say is TRUE. | |||

"I've not heard any! It's not about the scots against the English. It's about the idiots in London who decides what happens around the uk. They take care of the millionaires instead of the millions with very little, tax cuts for the rich and bedroom taxes for the poor. The people who try to make out it's a scots v english thing need a boot up the hole! " Unfortunately - as shown by the semi-literate racist a few posts up - for some people its ALL about that. I did a re-enactment show a few yrs ago at Bannockburn. The re-enactors, the ordinary crowd were lovely. It took a turn for the worse when the SNP rally across the road decided to visit. Two days of having 'English Bastard' yelled in your face by SNP supporters isn't what I would call a nice weekend away. Because of that event, I now firmly believe that the SNP and its grassroots membership are - at core - essentially anti English. I do NOT believe the wider independence campaign is such, but for me the SNP are. | |||

The people who try to make out it's a scots v english thing need a boot up the hole! " 3 or 4 posts up... "no basically about it lets get rid of the English" I've heard plenty and I'm getting tired of it. I've always regarded and treated Scots the same as anyone else from the UK. I support them in International rugby if they're playing (unless it's against England, obviously) and I'm pretty sure I've never oppressed a Scot in any way, shape or form. I've certainly never been rude to, or insulted a Scot for being Scottish. I'm getting to the point, however, that what I am hearing is making me think that if Scots want independence then they're welcome to it and I hope they hack Scotland away from England totally and live happily ever after on their own little island. By all means hate our politicians - I do - but most of "The English" have done nothing to warrant the vile outpourings. | |||

I've never had a problem with Scots but I don't want to be hearing about being a bastard English person. How would you expect me to react to that? Is it not a fairly reasonable reaction to say, well, if that's how you feel, rebuild your border, sod off over it and leave us alone? Insults and name calling tend to have that effect." Haha ... I heard a guy mumble Scottish prick last week at the casino because I got served before him, that was just one arsehole guy, I wouidnt judge every other english person by his remark. As I said earlier we have idiots both side of the border and thankfully the minority. | |||

"Cameron will go down in history as the person that broke up the union. As for Mr Milliband he knows he can't get to No 10 without the Scots. LIB Dems follow any party just to be in government. Not Alex Salmond then? Who's been campaigning for this long before Mr Cameron became Prime Minister...." And good on him, he's trying to make a fairer country for the people. Wouldn't you appreciate free education for your family and free prescriptions etc. It should be the same all over. | |||

"Well I think we have idiots both sides of the border, it doesn't mean everyone has that same opinion. X" The difference being for me is....I must have been very naive as I didn't even know there was a divide until I started using the net. Then I found that a lot of Scottish ( amongst others) really hated the English. I thought it was banter at first but it wasn't. Then I went to visit a woman who I used to speak to in Scotland. She took me to her local and introduced me as "her English friend" and out of the nine people in the group , eight turned away from me and one said hello. The one who said hello told me that when they were children they got told to never go near the English as they eat their own babies ![]() | |||

How many people does it take to tell you they have personally experienced extreme hatred from Scottish people just because they are English before you accept it is possible? There are at least 3 on this thread alone now. Perhaps you and the people you associate with don't feel like this but, I assure you, some really do. I'm not talking about people muttering Scottish prick in a bar here! | |||

"Mabey just mabey it gives a hint to Cameron to sort this country out. If Scotland leave then I wish them the very best." No, it will indicate to Cameron that he now needs to wring even more money out of the poor that are left, to continue supplying the trough he and his mates have their snouts in. | |||

Maybe you have had an experience and I've had a few but nothing as bad or to the extent that you are making out to be. I'm surprised at the anti scots attitude to be honest, it's attitudes like that fuels hatred all over the world. | |||

"Another funny thing that I've noticed. Everything that anyone says in favour of the union or against independence is lies and scaremongering. Apart from Kim Jung whatsisname in North Korea, pretty much every political leader says that it would be a mistake to split. Salmond says it is lies and scaremongering. Pretty much every serious economist in the world (most recently Alan Greenspan) has said that Salmonds figures on everything from oil to pensions don't add up. Salmond says it is lies and scaremongering. The head of pretty much every major business in Scotland says that the Scottish economy will at best face a serious downturn, and at worst a 1930's style depression. Salmond says it is lies and scaremongering. The yes campaign accuses the Tories of wanting to privatise the NHS in Scotland when they know damn well that they couldn't do it even if they wanted to because the NHS in Scotland is controlled by Hollyrood. Salmond knows too well that it is his lies and scaremongering. With all these voices and many many others all trying to tell the Scottish people that this is not a good idea, but only Salmond and his cohorts are saying otherwise. Has anyone from the yes camp, just for one moment stopped and thought. Maybe Salmond is WRONG?" You would need to be up here to see all the lies and scaremongering that's taking place and I inc BBC news in that,your NHS is under threat as the Westminster gov are going to sign a deal which opens up NHS to American private companies this fact has an impact on Scots NHS if we stay in Union.we also want rid of trident it's to expensive and only a symbol of power for Westminster.also other countries may question whether Westminster should be in G8 ? | |||

" If you look again I never said that about Cameron lol. " No, I know you didn't. I was attempting to generalise on various perspectives. Personally, I think DC is doing a brilliant, if difficult job, of sorting out the mess left by Blair, Brown and Co. He's unpopular with most because of the tough decisions he's had to take to get us on the road to recovery and how it's affecting people in their everyday lives. Unfortunately it seems to be the cylce. Labour mess up the economy then a conservative government sorts out the mess and gets us back in the black - but becomes so unpopular that they get replaced by a labour governement that proceeds to mess up the countries finances again..... John Major was the chancellor that sorted out the last Labour mess from the 70's. It was also a Labour government that, in 1967, devalued the pound due to their total incompetence on handling the economy. But I feel I'm wandering off topic a little here, lol.... ![]() | |||

I'm sure there's equal amounts on both sides, as everywhere. Anyway I agree with you that I hope Scotland gets votes yes and shows the rest of the UK and the world that it can manage itself more efficiently. In the end hopefully Wales and NI would do the same, I'm sure english people will benefit from the split avid england would itself be managed better as a result. | |||

" Cameron's speech yesterday was good but I think too little too late. " Cameron and Westminster having only, very recently, woken up to the very real possibility that the Union is about to be broken. Cameron's shiny face has been replaced by a look of fatigue and fear. The 'yes' vote may well have been tipped by the selection of the incredibly dangerous Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson as the Conservative candidate for the safe Tory seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip. Boris wants to be Prime Minister; it's always been about him and, like Salmond, he can never answer a direct question or take responsibility, preferring to act like a buffoon, and he gets away with it. (Take a look at the YT video of his interview on Newsnight to get a feel for him.) If I was undecided about voting then the thought of BJ as Prime Minister would have me voting 'yes'. The last Labour government destroyed the UK's finances but the current government is continuing to bleed the general population whilst feathering their own nests and those of their friends in the City. Cameron will be forced to resign after a 'yes' vote; if there is not an immediate election then a caretaker PM will take over until the 2015 election when BJ will become PM. As an aside; the post above relating to the opening up of NHS contracts to US conglomerates is spot on; these firms are in it for profit and not to provide a better service. The profit will flow from radical revision of terms and conditions of NHS staff. | |||

"So Scotland never gets the government it votes for, Really? 1951 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt. 1955 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt. 1959 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt....Wonderfull post 1964 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory. 1966 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 1974 (February) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory, 1974 (October) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 1979, 1983, 1987 & 1992 we had a Tory Govt thanks to the motion of No Confidence in Jim Callaghan's Labour Govt that the SNP tabled. When Thatcher realised that the SNP were siding with her she then tabled her own motion of No Confidence, which took precedence over the SNP's motion. Supported by the 11 SNP MPs her motion of No Confidence was carried by 1 vote. The SNP are responsible for starting the Thatcher years. 1997 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2001 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2005 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2010 Nobody got the Govt they voted for - only 7 months to go to the next election. In 1999, Labour delivered devolution and no one can dispute that in 1997, 2003, 2007 and 2011 Scotland got what it voted for." Salmond would have your head on a spike for saying that. You may even get a couple of thousand yes campaigners on you doorstep in protest at your lies and scaremongering. Funny thing though. What you say is TRUE." | |||

"So Scotland never gets the government it votes for, Really? 1951 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt. 1955 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt. 1959 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt.... 1964 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory. 1966 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 1974 (February) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory, 1974 (October) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 1979, 1983, 1987 & 1992 we had a Tory Govt thanks to the motion of No Confidence in Jim Callaghan's Labour Govt that the SNP tabled. When Thatcher realised that the SNP were siding with her she then tabled her own motion of No Confidence, which took precedence over the SNP's motion. Supported by the 11 SNP MPs her motion of No Confidence was carried by 1 vote. The SNP are responsible for starting the Thatcher years. 1997 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2001 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2005 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt. 2010 Nobody got the Govt they voted for - only 7 months to go to the next election. In 1999, Labour delivered devolution and no one can dispute that in 1997, 2003, 2007 and 2011 Scotland got what it voted for."" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"Look Cameron was offered a debate about this from wee Eck and replied with it's nothing to do with him it's up to the Scottish voters how come that its got lots to do with him now..vote yes and lets break up this terrible union for scotlands sake" For England's sake you mean? If they do go independent then there will be an economic flight from Scotland. RBS and many others will leg it to England. We won't have to put up with the ridiculous Barnett formula by which we subsidise Scottish benefit wallahs. Labour will loose shitloads of MPs so unlikely to get power for god knows how long... England can actually becEnglish and get on with it. Scotland will end up more like a third world country...with what as currency? | |||

"A work colleague told me today that you can only vote if you live in Scotland (I asked as my brother in law is Scottish but lives here) and you dont have to be born in Scotland in order to vote. Is this true? Sorry, I haven't really taken any notice of it so have no idea " True....my next door neighbour is Scottish but can't vote. My daughter just qualified as a doctor in Edinburgh and is now based in Inverness. She is English but has a vote. As she has more than 3 brain cells...she will be voting no as she would like to stay in Scotland (nice place). If the vote is yes...then like many intelligent people she will leave. | |||

Scotland is a very wealthy country that can take care of itself vas it's people. As for the greedy bankers who recently brought the country to it's knees, they only moving their registered address to england so when they fuck up again the Bank of England (english taxpayer) can bail them out. Great move for Scotland I think. | |||

"I can't help feeling after reading a few of these threads some people are going to have egg on their faces later." not just some but many, only one side can win the vote. Whichever way it turns out there are likely to be a lot of people thinking "i should have kept my mouth shut" | |||

"Am i missing something, why are all the MP,s getting their knickers in a twist over Scottish independence? " The point has been missed. He knows his appearance makes people vote yes and that's what he secretly wants. Its like that 1995 moldy 4 birth caravan parked on the front lawn you want rid off but you have to con someone into taking it. ![]() | |||
