Should Scotland be an Independent Country?

  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
Nothing at all, you can call it what you want. You can put the queen's head on it, or Sean Connery's if you ****ing want. That misses the point completely.

The issue is not the currency. The issue is the currency union. Recent events in the Eurozone illustrate how difficult it is to have a currency union without political union. So the sterling you use north of the border will not neccessarily have parity with the pound we use south of it.

I thought the eurozone was a political union..?

Last time I checked ze germans were bailing out other countries.

So my question is - What the **** are you talking about?
 
What a ****in clown.

Just like Salmond.

Arrogant and presumptious.

Not done your homework sonny, like the the SNP.

I agree with ST on this one ER.

You just gibber vaguely contentious pish without any actual substantiation.

Just like UKIP

Vaguely racist and wholly ignorant.

As if I give a **** what you think.

Aberdeen and the North East have been horrendousluy under funded by Holyrood and that is a fact.

**** them.

SNP are no better than Westminster.
 
So, we'll have our own currency and be completely debt free. Just like Rangers. We can call this place New Scotland. All we have to do is make sure Charles Green doesn't become First Minister and we'll be sorted.

Something that the SNP clearly doesn't want for some reason or another - if they really don't want to saddle the rest of the UK with all the debt when they go there has to be a bloody good reason for it. And don't even try and pretend it's any form of altruism - even you would struggle to get away with that one<laugh>.

It's purely political. Easier to convince doubting Labour supporters to vote Yes if we stick with the pound than start with a new currency. I still stick to it being nothing more than scaremongering by Tories, Labour and Lib Dems and I suspect it'll backfire on them.

Correct Dan.

The SNP want to keep sterling and arrogantly thought that the rest of the UK would just agree to it.

That's because you're thick.

They will agree to it ER - when the separation talks start both sides are going to want to tie up as much as they can as quickly as possible so as to then focus on the really difficult bits. There'll be no earthly point in arguing the toss about the currency as that will screw us both up in terms of global economic confidence - I just don't see any disadvantage for either side in agreeing to it. Makes sense all round and hopefully will be seen as a sign that they can work togther rather than act like petulant kids at every turn.
 
<rofl><rofl> What insight ! You are as thick as mince, thing is, you dont know it and I guess for you that must feel like a happy place to be.

Do you worry about muslamic ray guns ?

<laugh>

Enlighten me then?

You rarely of fact or opinion on here. You just babble ****e.

So what's your opinion on why Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal are struggling with the Euro? I know why, because it's a huge benefit to Germany as they have the strongest economy. I wonder why Greece were considering a return there own currency? Probably because they're doing so well.

And you live in Australia? Who gives a **** what you think. Your shagging some bird you met on the internet 15 years ago that got you the green card <ok>

You mean why are countries around the world struggling with finance? Do you remember the 2008 crash saints?

Do you seriously believe the pound is some untouchable super currency? because its lost value to the euro for the past 5 years.

It is - it's kept parity with the US and Aussie dollars, the Yen etc etc. <whistle> I actually think the only currency it has out performed is the Erritrean shilling and even that's touch and go
