Good question, I expect you'll be rewarded with some additional perks. Personally, I think the continuation of the UK has been untenable since devolution, scotch get free higher education, the rest of us have to pay. We English believe in a level playing field.
You vote no and you are voting for the status quo to continue. The ****ing political parties in this country have done **** all for the last 20 years. Most of them are scared to even take a stand these days in case they upset someone.
You're on form tonight
Why are you saying that, do you not think the scotch getting free higher education gives them a massive advantage over the rest of us?
We Scotch fund that particular policy . If you are upset about it why are you not slagging off Westminster for not funding it in England ?
This question baffles me. I'm Irish an independence is something, me and my ilk have craved.
My Son in law is a Scot and he deplores independence.
I can't get my head around this.

I'm not concerned about where the money comes from, I'm concerned about living in a country where you get a different deal depending on which bit of the country you live in. Devolution destroyed the UK.
When labour were in power education was free. So you can't blame them. It is the tories that are getting rid of it.
The whole idea of democracy is that the government governs for the public interest. Not that the government governs for themselves.
The tory party are only interested in themselves and what they can get out of the system.

My point is that everyone should get the same deal, the free higher education thing is quite a big bonus for those way up north, a big advantage.
I paid tution fees in 97 by 98 labour had scrapped them. They weren't reintroduced until the tories got power again.
