"........I'm sure the 'Yes' voters will be along shortly to thank us 'No' voters for saving them from economic ruin. A £15billion deficit, the poor man of Europe, according to the official figures. I feel quite proud to have saved my fellow Scots from economic suicide. Of course the bold Alex won't be too bothered, he now has his nose in every trough he can find! "  hate feeling a sense of "I made the right choice" when so many ppl are struggling. But it could have been so much worse | |||

"So many people are easily taken in by the media and Westminster spin. First of all these figures are while Westminster are in control of the Scottish economy, so they are saying that Westminster are in control during economic disaster (while still managing to install the lowest tax levels for the wealthy in history) but it is the fault of oil prices dropping. All Scotland's revenue from whiskey exports, which co-incidentally is about £15b is counted as English DOP as the tax is registered from London. So while Bothy rejoices over the fact that tens that of thousands of Scots have been shoved into poverty by his English masters, to keep the uperclesses richer, the rest of you believe the mis-management of the figures. Try to think for yourselves while Bothy master ages at the thought of being a pigs head for Cameron!" | |||

"We need a complete government overhaul. We can bail,out bankers yet our nation is in horrendous debt. Caused by faulse wars mainly.... We allow bankers too create money out of thin air and lend it too us at interest. Creating more debt than cash in circulation. There is no way out of the deficit. It is all scaremongering bullshit.. The government have no interest in reducing it. Lobbying insures this... We had the chance to privatise the banking sector with the bailout. But unfortunately our government think its better to sell the shares off at a cut rate price to the very people who caused the crisis in the first place..... Wee need to model ourselves on Iceland if we were ever to become independant. Just cant see it being allowed to happen " We bailed out 'BANKS' not bankERS because it would have been worse for our economy and the people with their money in those banks to let them fail The way the media spin it you would think they literally took money out of wee jeanies pension and gave it to a ceo of a bank just because the ceo was their pal  | |||

"Classic believe the hype........unless its snp hype. I voted no before I hear the typical yes voter response.of course the uk govt is going to do all they can to justify that the correct decision was made that dosnt make everything they say true. So many complex things are req to show exactly what the difference would be not to mention the changes that an independant govt would have made. Its simplistic to say I was right while spouting figures that dont take anything into account. I still believe I made the right choice.......for that time and circumstance that was placed before us. Who knows what changes will be in the next proposal. Im sure there will be folk swapping sides dependant on these changes" I agree...... And I'm more than capable of seeing through Westminster/ media..... And snp spin  | |||

"Thank's the tory's one of my neighbour's who i was speaking to yesterday has just been told he is losing £30 a week in his DLA money, he is in a wheelchair after losing both his legs 4 years ago, he was only getting £230 a month now he gets £110 to live on. No one can say for sure this wouldn't have happened if we had gotten independence but can definitely say it did happen because we didn't. " £110 a month to live on? Surely not. A person with such a disability would receive employment and support allowance along with the support element of it at around the £109 per week with a disabled element top up most likely from anything between £15 and £60 and then there would be DLA or PIP mobility at either £21 or £57 per week depending on which level. The minimum amount an able-bodied adult over 25 is £73.40 | |||

Try to think for yourselves while Bothy master ages at the thought of being a pigs head for Cameron!" "English masters". I really am getting fed up listening to the constant SNP rubbish, blaming ALL our troubles on the English, or the dreadful Tories.
So the independence alternative, being ruled by a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels??
Once again I ask the question, what's the point of getting independence from Westminster, and then being ruled by Brussels??? | |||

There's an awful lot that's wrong in here so I'll address it point by point 1) Gers are the Scottish Government's own figures, they're not media or Westminster spin. If you look back in time a bit you'll see the SNP trumpeting these figures when they thought it suited them, it's only now it doesn't suit them that they are suddenly trying to discredit them. 2)It's only an 'economic disaster' if we're independent. The fact is, without a large income from gas or oil we will always require subsidy from the UK govt. This doesn't mean we're poor, or stupid etc it's just the reality of having a relatively small population spread over a large land area. It makes higher public expenditure inevitable. 3)The thing about whisky is a descredited myth spread by some nats. There is no tax paid on whisky exports. The duty paid on whisky in foreign markets is paid in those countries. In the same way that the tax we pay for French wine goes to the UK exchequer duty paid on whisky in foreign countries goes to their own governments. I'd love to know who's peddalling the £15bn myth. The Scottish whisky association confirm the total tax contributed is less than £1bn | |||

The subprime lending scandal was a USA issue and not a European scandal let alone uk scandal so not to sure what your point is in connection with this thread. Yes it impacted on us and the rest of the world economy but unsure how our government could have stopped subprime lending in the US "Are you suggesting our economies aren't linked???? Imf, wcb, federal reserve ect ect ect. Are all owned by the same people. Coincidence. Hmmmm ?? Yes I did watch the movie. But if you do some research for yourself you will easily find that our banks were gambling our money in the US housing market!!! Same shit done differently... | |||

"I honestly believe that our puppet government and any government for that matter have absolutely no control over a situation like this.. I do however believe that they are aware of the situation. Yet didn't even pretend to stop it. We have absolutely no control over our own economy. It's all premeditated in my view... As you said when the arse falls out of china will make for an interesting situation. That's if the euro doesnt collapse first. Sorry for hijacking your thread dude... | |||

only problem is that the SNP has no (ZERO) opposition in Scotland, other 3 parties are run by Westminster puppets, this in turn allows snp a free reign to do as the please
I am sure Scotland could have done well as an independent country if all tax went to Scotland and not to Westminster but then Westminster will never let that happen and they have spin doctors that will brush the wool over most Scots eyes, you can see that with the amount of NO voters who genuinely think they have saved us all (which does make you laugh).
At the same time, Scotland has as much chance of becoming independent as California does in the USA which is zero, this is simply down to people with no bottle, no determination, no up and go spirit, no fight and really no future, sad and disappointing
people are frightened of change and like to live in the security of the stockholm syndrome | |||

"15bn a year in wisky. £3000 a person. That's a fortune!" I've already posted about this above. It's a blatant lie. The thing about whisky is a descredited myth spread by some nats. There is no tax paid on whisky exports. The duty paid on whisky in foreign markets is paid in those countries. In the same way that the tax we pay for French wine goes to the UK exchequer duty paid on whisky in foreign countries goes to their own governments. I'd love to know who's peddalling the £15bn myth. The Scottish whisky association confirm the total tax contributed is less than £1bn. I've taken the following quote from the Scotch Whisky Associations website: 'In its direct impact, the Scotch Whisky industry adds value of nearly £3.3bn to the economy, employs 10,800 workers, and generates almost £530m in salaries for its employees. In indirect and induced impacts, the industry adds a further £1.7bn in value. Most of the economic impact (95% or £4.8bn) is felt within Scotland but a significant minority (5% or £274m) falls to the rest of the UK.' | |||

When a Scotland / England match was played they supported England; weird but as you say, the majority of Rangers fans are lost in the soul of football and voted entirely for that reason. Do they still have continuous orange walks playing in the pubs, at first I thought it was on the news on TV until going up for a second and third pint and realising it was a continuous orange walk being played on tv. Job Centre windows getting smashed because they are green, and grass getting sprayed blue Yes, that's true, some spray their grass blue  | |||

"The drop in oil prices has caused £15b drop in Scotland's GDP! And people are calling it a catastrophe. The Westminster government is spending exactly half that, £7.5bn, on upgrading one building, the Houses of Parliament, they are spending ten times that amount on a weapon of mass destruction which is near Glasgow because it is too dangerous to put near London. They are spending the same amount £15bn on a rail link that goes nowhere near Scotland! They are spending billions bombing poor countries around the world. But hey, they do save a couple of million by evicting the poorest people who are so evil as to have a spare bedroom! Yeah we are better together! " I don't think many people want HS2, either here or in the rest of the UK. The issue re trident is difficult to quantify though. Even if we use CND's figures (and we can assume they have gone for the highest possible amount) they have estimated it will cost between £2bn and £2.4bn per year. In terms of Scotland that would equate to about £200 - £240m per year. The question then becomes, how much does trident bring to the local economy on the Clyde and Faslane in terms of jobs etc? It's hard to say exactly but there's every chance it could be a similar amount. | |||

"So many people are easily taken in by the media and Westminster spin. First of all these figures are while Westminster are in control of the Scottish economy, so they are saying that Westminster are in control during economic disaster (while still managing to install the lowest tax levels for the wealthy in history) but it is the fault of oil prices dropping. All Scotland's revenue from whiskey exports, which co-incidentally is about £15b is counted as English DOP as the tax is registered from London. So while Bothy rejoices over the fact that tens that of thousands of Scots have been shoved into poverty by his English masters, to keep the uperclesses richer, the rest of you believe the mis-management of the figures. Try to think for yourselves while Bothy master ages at the thought of being a pigs head for Cameron! very good post
only problem is that the SNP has no (ZERO) opposition in Scotland, other 3 parties are run by Westminster puppets, this in turn allows snp a free reign to do as the please
I am sure Scotland could have done well as an independent country if all tax went to Scotland and not to Westminster but then Westminster will never let that happen and they have spin doctors that will brush the wool over most Scots eyes, you can see that with the amount of NO voters who genuinely think they have saved us all (which does make you laugh).
At the same time, Scotland has as much chance of becoming independent as California does in the USA which is zero, this is simply down to people with no bottle, no determination, no up and go spirit, no fight and really no future, sad and disappointing
people are frightened of change and like to live in the security of the stockholm syndrome
See now this is what pisses me off!! The snp " puppets" that think that the no voters only voted that way because of fear and that somehow we are unpatriotic ..... What on earth makes you think that we are not capable ( the same way you are) of making our decisions based on what we think would be better for us at the time " Getting very tired of this too! | |||

Would independance cured the collapse? I think not & i voted yes. Every days a gamble" Why is the oil & gas industry knackered??? What was the price of oil on 1999/2000 was it higher or lower than now (I will give you a clue on where to start - $12) Do you know how much it costs to produce one barrel of oil?? what about the new fields west of Shetland?? what about existing fields, buzzard, elgin etc ??? What about new projects ongoing??? What about oil EOR??? Oil & Gas is far from knackered, its just another slump same as we see every 8 - 10 years and you then read reports and hear broadcasts from reporters and government officials who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and while they broadcast they still show out dated pics & films of the Brents Oil & Gas is on a low at this moment same as back in the 80's, same as 1999/2000 and like these times, it will pick up again if not, maybe we should call Total, Shell, BP, Chevron and inform them, tell then to halt all their ongoing multi billion pound projects | |||

Interesting how you never responded to any of the points made but just resorted to cheap insults. I love my life but I do hate what is being done to the poorest and most vulnerable in this country and people like you who are not only compliant with it but actually rejoice at their suffering caused by a regime that less than 15% of the Scottish electorate voted for. | |||

"The one thing i do know for sure, if there is an "Indy 2". It will lead to further divisions, recreate the same ugly atmosphere and make me despair for this country ,which i once believed was a good land with friendly open people... i was wrong as the events of only 18months ago showed "I take it you are talking about the thugs who came to George square the day after the referendum with their union jacks and rioted, spitting and hitting females yes supporter So? Or perhaps the two thugs who attacked the pregnant yes campaigner days before the vote, or the no supporter who tried to run down Alex Salmond? Or maybe the fact that poor Jim Smurphy got hit by an egg! Personally I loved the fact that we had lively political debate, the carnival atmosphere and the fact that a large percentage of the population who had never taken an interest before woke up to the injustices that were being done. | |||

"Apologies if anyone took offence to that, it wasn't my intention. I only meant that perhaps it took more guts to try and bring about a major historical and economical change in my country by deciding to vote yes than what it did by voting to keep things the same. I also fail to see how I'm contradicting myself, that's purely down to your interpretation of my comments. " could it not be that it took more guts to realise that independance was not right for that time and to take the harder option to vote no. It took no more guts to vote yes than it did no. it was a choice that folk made in your eyes wrongly but to those folk you see the world completly diffrent. Acceptance is key no excuses no reasons why it was fixed just acceptance that the majority of scots felt the time was wrong or that they want to remain part of great britain. | |||

" When you said no voters didn't have the guts, then said you fully accept other people's opinions, that's a contradiction. The yes voters decided that it was worth the risk, the no voters didn't think independence was the best option. I believe that had Devo Max stayed on the table, that's what we would have now. But if it comes down to a straight yes/no vote, I vote no. Until it can be proved that it's financially viable and in our best interests. | |||

"We need a complete government overhaul. We can bail,out bankers yet our nation is in horrendous debt. Caused by faulse wars mainly.... We allow bankers too create money out of thin air and lend it too us at interest. Creating more debt than cash in circulation. There is no way out of the deficit. It is all scaremongering bullshit.. The government have no interest in reducing it. Lobbying insures this... We had the chance to privatise the banking sector with the bailout. But unfortunately our government think its better to sell the shares off at a cut rate price to the very people who caused the crisis in the first place..... Wee need to model ourselves on Iceland if we were ever to become independant. Just cant see it being allowed to happen " What are you on about, Iceland became totally bankrupt after the banking crisis and is still really struggling | |||

The cold hard truth.....
Your vote means nothing. The super powers in this world didn't want the UK breaking up and guess what, we "lost" the vote. The exact same thing will happen in the EU indy vote because the same powers don't want us out of Europe any more than they wanted Scotland out of the UK.
We're not really free, you think you can vote how you please but you can't and thank goodness for that. Breaking up the UK might have been good for Scotland in the long run but it would have been a disaster for the rest of the world and the UK leaving Europe will have the exact same effect.... FACT

"Just caught up with all the posts in the thread and at risk of being just as offensive as some of them i actually believe some of you are delusional The main reason the vote was no is because rangers fans associate the union jack with their team and are bigoted? Really? Rangers are a glasgow based team and this sectarianism is mostly a west of scotland mentality ... But they caused the majority of scotland to vote no? (Ps glasgow - where most rangers fans are based - was actually one of the few places to come out with a yes majority) And we all voted no because we had no guts to stand up to the scaremongering and were too busy bending over for the english?

Maybe while your at it tell the other SNP MP who is being investigate or tell that to the 16 of the that had their parliament credit cards suspended. Try telling that to the SNP MPs who are making money on various 2nd incomes but mainly renting houses. Maybe ask how many of them have given their wage rise to charity as they promised. So many things we can go on about. | |||

"The oil & gas industry is knackered, a reported 70000 people across the uk have been made redundant due to the collapse. These are direct workers & supply chain from steel mills to local suppliers. Would independance cured the collapse? I think not & i voted yes. Every days a gamble Why is the oil & gas industry knackered??? What was the price of oil on 1999/2000 was it higher or lower than now (I will give you a clue on where to start - $12) Do you know how much it costs to produce one barrel of oil?? what about the new fields west of Shetland?? what about existing fields, buzzard, elgin etc ??? What about new projects ongoing??? What about oil EOR??? Oil & Gas is far from knackered, its just another slump same as we see every 8 - 10 years and you then read reports and hear broadcasts from reporters and government officials who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and while they broadcast they still show out dated pics & films of the Brents Oil & Gas is on a low at this moment same as back in the 80's, same as 1999/2000 and like these times, it will pick up again if not, maybe we should call Total, Shell, BP, Chevron and inform them, tell then to halt all their ongoing multi billion pound projects Its a slump?? Well i hope everyone thats lost there jobs knows its just a slump & make them sleep easier at night. I know theres projects going on but it looks as though it,ll be 2017 before it recovers. " Welcome to Oil & Gas; it happens every 8 - 10 years, its not near as bad as in 1999 - 2000 though then the price of oil was down to $12 a barrel, such as life, we adjust and get on with it anyone who has worked offshore for a long period of time is aware of this and have things in place to keep them afloat in bad times | |||

"Why don't we all just stop looking like petty little children talking about rainbows and unicorns and try and preserve some self dignity. At the end of the day it was a no vote, no changing it, simple. No on really knows if Scotland would've been better or worse as an independent country & I can pretty much assure most people who voted yes didn't vote yes becuase of promises made by politicians we voted yes becuase were Scottish not British and we wanted independence we didn't listen to promises about oil and whiskey. But what we do know is Scotland has been turning into a 3rd world country slowly but surely "under British rule" it is getting worse, more and more people are using food banks & now people who need their DLA will lose £30 a week or be completely cut off this includes people who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan in the "British" army and have lost limbs or suffer from mental disabilities like PTSD, all under British rule. The fact is in about 20years time country's like Africa will have little oxfam boxes in schools and shops giving money to help the scottish, Bob geldof will be making Christmas songs for us, children in need will be for us. All under British rule! "Of course they will | |||

"Ok this is a genuine question probably more for no voters as am interested to know this since the EU referendum is happening this summer. The Better Together camp said vote no to make sure we stay in the EU if you vote yes they you could end up coming out of the EU. Now say Scotland does infact vote to stay and the rest of the UK want to leave how would no voters feel as Better Together said nothing about a EU referednum before the Scottish Referendum took place. " Can't speak for anyone else, but the EU was not a part of my decision. It was whether or not we could financially support ourselves and maintain quality services, which in my opinion we cannot. | |||

If it does happen that Scotland votes to stay and the Rest of the UK vote to leave my opinion is that is a clear breach of what was said in Scottish referendum and a lie to the Scottish people. | |||

"LandA whats your experience in the oil industry just out of curiosity? I suspect you will be similar to me with 30 years knowledge to quote such, you do realise the amount of projects actually being tied in and coming online at this moment in time can you name 5 of them "Not going to bore everyone with an argument about who knows the most etc (or point out the number of fields coming to the end of their life) so I'll go back to the point I posted. Production has been dropping for the past 15 years, other than a small increase last year. The days of 2.4m barrels per day are long gone and aren't returning. You won't find anyone out there credible claiming they will | |||

So I'll just add, to the fact that production has been decreasing for years now, that any new fields will be lucky to cover the production lost by the number of fields that are winding down. We will never come close to the production levels of 2000 and no one is daft enough to make such claims. I'll file the fields in the West Coast of Scotland that we can't use because of trident under conspiracy theory. | |||

You are aware I expect that in the year 2000, many platforms fully cut back to minimum flow due to the cost of oil being $12, the reason the did not shut down in full is to prevent cooling in the lines causing slugs & condensates as well as all the other problems that occur with full shutdown what platforms in 2000 produced more oil than the buzzard is producing now? I was on the Piper when it peaked 100,000 barrels per day, the platform was so unstable at that point they severely cut back | |||
