    Salmond and Sturgeon have just made a massive cock up and the people of Scotland want answers before they vote.

    Arrogant ****s.

    Come on Gambol, the Chancellor is promising £7bn investment in "The North", that surely tips it in favour of the Better Together campaign? After all us Northerners will be getting a new railway all the way from Manchester (In the North) to the centre of the known Universe, aka London.

    He's not talking about the North of the UK, but the North of England.

    Does every single government project have to include Scotland now? You'd still vote for independence anyways <doh>

    The whole argument itself shows why Scotland should go independent - the English can't develop their own country without having to worry about Scottish perceptions of fairness. The UK Government will probably have to chuck a few billion towards some Scottish project just to shut them up.

    Wow, Toby in response shocker!!!!

    Indeed, not every single project has to take account of Scotland but when one like HS2 (and now HS3) will be to the detriment of Scottish Businesses - using UK Taxpayers cash no less, then I think it's yet another good argument for Independence.

    And perhaps you could tell me where i've ever said i'm going to vote Yes? <confused> I don't recall doing so, like many, i'm as yet undecided.

    Should we be in uproar every time there's a project in Scotland because our taxpayer money is not being invested on us? That's the whole point of tax, it gets shared amongst the population. A lot of it goes on London, maybe, but it's where it costs the most to build/improve/modernise public services.

    There would be no point in improving the train line from Glasgow to London, the cost would be ****ed and the time saved pointless vs cheap internal flights. What they're trying to do here is improve transport links between large English cities in the North of the country, and it's something everyone holds against the Tories. I hate them with a passion but this is something that's needed.

    What should they do then? Not refer to the 'North of England' but call it 'the bit of England nearest to Scotland'? Not spend any money on England until everyone in Scotland is against Independence? I really can't see the point you're trying to make...

    The Scottish taxpayers' share of HS2 comes to approximately £4,000,000,000.

    Looking at that alongside the "startup costs" we've been hearing about, the part of HS2 we're paying for (but won't receive, obviously) would be enough to set up our own infrastructure over 21 times.

    Christ knows we haven't received **** all for giving you the money for that hideous M25 monstrosity yet.
