Scotch Independence - the countdown

Yeah, how's that working out? Argentina ( a country rich in natural resources) are on the verge of their second loan default and currency crash this century, I believe. still, Mexico seem to be doing well (despite the fact half their population is queuing up to get into Texas).

 

Maybe Nev or Mon can tell us how many jobs have been lost in Scottish shipbuilding in, say, the last 20 years?

Sorry, I forgot you had a better grasp of economics than the Adam Smith Institute.

 

That'd be the Adam Smith Institute that foresaw the recent banking collapse?

 

The Better Together banking crisis?

Anyway, seeing as Portsmouth is being mothballed I'm still waiting on Nev and Mon telling us where rUK are going to build these warships?

 

People who fail to understand what this referendum is about.

 

That's when they're not trying to persuade Labour voters that they'll be the new Venezuela <subcommindante mcmarcos>

 

Not sure, not my problem, but, somewhere in the UK, as that has always been their policy.

 

I do hope you're right. As I've said to ST a few times, the reason that the Yes has hit the glass ceiling is that they've tried to get the Labour vote to switch sides, and they've not done **** all for the 15-20% Tory vote, nor the 20-25% Lib-Dems, who would probably mostly come from the middle-class bracket. The Yes are relying on Scottish Patriotism and the hope that the left switch sides and push through to victory on a wave of 'social justice'. How anyone can say that the UK isn't fair (in the main) totally flummoxes me. We have a huge welfare state, free health care and in Scotland we have free education, free health care for the elderly, free prescriptions, how much more of the states resources to you want to shower on the poor?

 

Scotland won't be a "Foreign" country just because we get independence.

 

I agree that the currency issue is bollocks. I've said it many times. We can use whatever currency we want.

 

For the purpose of building warships it will be, or didn't you read what this whole argument is about?

 

why do yes voters think it's a bad thing to be rich?

 

Yeah right! Are you aware of what the Clyde used to be before your Tory/Labour mates got hold of it? Age 69? going on 9!

Scotland will need a navy, atm there are no vessels patrolling a coastline that is longer than Englands. The Russian navy has been to visit the Moray firth. http://www.newsnetscotland.com/inde...ce-was-alerted-by-social-media-admits-hammond

The clyde will probably have more orders than it has right now.

 

Well said.

Voting Yes means economic suicide and the neo Nazi nats have no answer.

 

Because they are poor.

 

Nothing to do with baldy fat ***** Oirelanders.

Get ****ed.

 

That's a ****e response and you know it. Stick to omelettes and sleeping with rich, old women

 

Salmond will welcome the Russians with open arms.
