    There is so much disinformation and conjecture being disseminated that it should be difficult to make an informed choice but when i'm being sold (Or force fed) a vision of a bleak Scottish wasteland - should I have the temerity to vote Yes - then i'm afraid my default setting of "I'll show these bastards" kicks in and I suspect many Scots feel the same way.

    The propaganda from the No camp has been absolutely staggering, that's why I changed my mind. I won't be bullied or lectured to, least of all by people who are too scared to make a coherent argument for the Union because they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

    I think you've hit the nail on the head with that statement. It defines exactly where the better together campaign have made a pigs arse out it. Regardless of whether what they are saying is true, it's enabled salmond and his team to twist it into an us vs them. Make it easy to to turn into look at them trying to scare us. It's played into his hands. It's enabled him to avoid the focus on how it's actually going to work and give everyone a kind of we'll show them standpoint.

    I seldom listen to Salmond and I have not watched any debates in which he's been involved because there's no need as you say, the No camp have done all the work for him. Some of their scare tactics have backfired spectaculary, such as no EU membership, no currency of our own and border guards at Berwick. It's laughable.

    That's what the yes campaign is. Avoid the actual consequences and focus on twisting any arguement against it into scaremongering.

    But as you've said you're voting yes..

    You've based this on the propaganda put out by the yes campaign.

    So anyone who's voting Yes has bought into the Yes campaign propaganda?
