It is terrible to see how a tiny minority can cause so much havoc to a country. I always thought we live in a democracy but what is happening right now is more akin to mob rule than democracy.
Yeah, where the hell is our vote in this?0 -

The Yes campaign have become very adept at playing the victim card. But it's OK, all these organisations are just bluffingsome of the bile towards us MSM will never be forgotten
Really hope the Scots vote yes and break the chains of Zionism
The English wherever they go, they hurt, rape, plunder and steal. they must pay for its crimes against HUMAN KIND

Have you voted with your heart or logic? Because i bet they say different things.
This entire thing is a big joke quite frankly and a great waste of money.0 -

At last!!
The voice of reasoned arguement.
Might have been a tad more persuasive with proper sentences, consideration of grammar, and correct spelling mind you...:rotfl:
I have an inkling that you, (like most YES voters), have little idea of the financial disaster we are on the verge of volunteering for.
Voters who care about Scotland, (and Britain), should say, "NO THANKS".0 -

And I'm sure Salmond is coordinating the Yes campaign from his office and he'll be trying to persuade retailers to publish statements saying that nothing would change in an independent Scotland.
If taxes and administration costs (two governments to deal with) go up then it's inevitable that prices will rise.0 -

With no banks (because most of them have scarpered) and no oil (because the Oil Cos will be nationalised) are you going to make all the shortbread and Aran sweaters yourself?0 -

So it costs more to send a parcel to the highlands than elsewhere. That's a fact. This cost for other things is spread out across the whole UK to give uniform pricing.
Are you saying that it isn't more expensive to run infrastructure across a large independent country with small population? Or is that more scaremongering?
Why should the population of Scotland not have information to help make their decision? Or is it only allowed if it supports the yes camp? Surely the prime minister of the UK would be expected to work to maintain the union.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -

According to Salmond anything said by anyone at all which doesn't support the yes campaign amounts to bullying the entire Scottish people !0 -
