Scotch Independence - the countdown

A Scot of Irish descent living in Australia.

That's a potent mix.

 

So he claims. But I think he knows deep down that he's on the wrong planet.

 

ER - stuck in a home, will vote whichever way his nurse tells him to vote. Hopefully the nurse is a Yes voter.

EDGE - one day Yes, one day No. Either a woman or very much in touch with his feminine side, ie. a chicken queen.

Nev - just yer typical hun really. Devoted to any powerful white man that flashes his arse at him, gullible to the point that he defended Craig Whyte even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the c**t was a crook. Feels embarrassed to be Scottish and wishes he was English. We wish he was English too.

Stopme, archers - English. Live in England. Not eligible to vote. Their opinion doesn't matter - on any issue.

 

Tina, can you not answer the question about interest rates?

 

your wit knows no beginning

 

I`m not of Irish descent though, chubmeister fails again.

 

I don't think Tina has much of a grasp on reality, never mind interest rates.

 

No worries, Padraig.

 

I agree. We should have our own currency. I was just pointing out the lameness of them dragging this issue up time and again.

However, if currency union makes economic sense to all parties then why not? Or, why not have currency union with Europe, if that made economic sense.

Am tired of hearing about this red herring of an issue.

Enjoy!

 

There is no point in independence if we don't have a currency. We could use the US$ or the Swiss franc, we can use whatever currency we want, but that's not independence, so what's the point?

We already have our own Education and legal system and have done for centuries. We have a devolved parliament with powers over the NHS, taxation and the likes. Only a truly independent nation can have its own currency, and in these days of globalisation, further integration seems to be the way the world is going.

Independence with a currency union is entirely pointless. How can you be independent but you're relying on the BoE being sympathetic to a Scottish state which it has no jurisdiction over.

 

Independence wont happen overnight. It'll be a gradual process in regards the currency, the monarchy, Trident etc.

I see a Yes vote on September 18th as a step towards full independence.

‘It’s your country, now’s the time to have your say’

 

That's like the sorta ****e McMurdo would write.

 

Well, EDGE is a tad tetchy today.

 

Is that how you make all your decisions ... no facts, just go for it?

 

Not this Bear.

 

Never trust an Irish Abo, Pud.

 

How many facts do you need? How factual can future predictions (the clues in the name) be?

 

Salmond has said he's putting any talk about the Yes campaign till after the Commonwealth Games... fair play. They should be able to get on with attending and ensuring it's as successful as possible.
