Scotch Independence - the countdown

.

 

I'm undecided.

I'm still reading as much of the "facts" as possible.

There are probably as many unknowns and uncertainties as there are facts. That will make people nervous. A yes vote is a leap of faith (in my opinion)

 

And a No vote is just as uncertain for Scotland's future. That's what people seem to forget. All we've heard from Labour, Tories and the Lib Dems is they will give us more powers if we vote no*.

"What are the powers?"
"Erm, we'd rather not say at the moment"


* They also promised us more powers in 1979. We ended up with 18 years of Tory rule and **** all powers.

 

I agree ...

I have always favoured the idea of Devo max (rather than independence) but we won't get that under a No vote. We will probably keep the status quo. Many will be happy with that.

 

You got your own parliament and control over spending ie; free prescriptions and free Universities and probably lots of other stuff but I can't be ****ed to research because I'm a lazy ****.

 

That was after devolution ya daft cob.

 

I for one would be more than happy for you ****s to keep those geriatric old rockers.

Deeper and Down.

 

we only got devolution because of new labour... the tories will give as **** all.

 

**** of Dev..

 

Could someone remind me of my Mindy moment just one more time please.

 

Are we not men,we are ....

 

If everyone has to endure a 30 minute set from Simple minds or rod Stewart this evening then people will be too busy commiting suicide for there to be any possibility of it being a success.

 

I don't want to talk about it.

 

Good to see the pun factory is still alive and kicking.

 

The SNP played a fairly significant role in bringing Thatcher to power.

 

Tonight's the night.

 

Aye, I know. Despite what people on here think I don't actually work for the SNP nor have I ever voted for them. Also, I think Labour were more culpable in getting Thatcher into power than anyone else.

 

The Orange Order has been given permission to hold a pro-Union rally in Edinburgh five days before the Scottish independence referendum.

 

A major boost for the Yes campaign ...

 

Well done. I think this has only been discussed three times on this thread including the possibility of the march going ahead, the decision by the council and confirmation of the march going ahead about 10 days ago.

Again, well done
