    I seem to remember lanky munter Janet Street-Porter slating Hull having never visited the place. If I remember correctly, there was an outcry in the city, and its inhabitants beseeched the gangly minger to go and see the place for herself. Upon doing so, she changed her mind. I think she called it the Florence of the North, though I may be wrong on that part.

    I knew a young lady from Ealing
    Who had a peculiar feeling
    She laid on her back
    Opened her crack
    And peed all over the ceiling

    Tom Devine is a **** of seismic proportions, but it is this quasi-religious stance taken by left wing mhutants with a penchant for Irish Catholic politics that is turning me and other proud Bears away from the Yes camp and in favour of more devo and more nuclear weapons for Scotland.

    'mon the Tories!

    I don't support low growth, I'm more than acutely aware that being part of the London-centric UK, is both good and bad for Scotland and its people. I just don't appreciate agenda driven Irish Catholic historians espousing Independence to their brethren when we know that more and more of them are supporting Independence for Scotland, not because they believe that it will be good for Scotland, but because they see it as a mechanism that will lead to the end of the British occupation of Direland.

    There is zero proof that voting independence will lead to greater growth, nor is their any proof that the pic posted will actually happen.

    Fixed that to focus on the main reasoning behind your morality on this.

    Not at all, Jean.

    My father is an ardent Nationalist and always has been. Quarter of my immediate blood family are dirty bead rattlers as is my moist wife. I detest people bringing religion, football into the political sphere, I am equally as damning on Rangers fans voting No based on their support of a football club, as I am on mhanky monobrowed Celtc fans voting for Yes based on the perverse view that Yes Scotland means Nigel and Jock will leave Paddy alone.

    I will probably vote Yes/No to spite whoever will beel most at the outcome of Independence/Better Together.

    Have you actually switched to the No side then ****head?

    As a businessman I thought you'd be all for it - you just know the first thing that will happen is a slashing of corporation tax to ensure there's no relocation of big businesses.

    I've never heard this mentioned over here maybe it is by Medro and his ilk but just sounds like paranoia to me.If anything Scottish independence could have a bigger economical effect on Ireland rather than a political one.

    I'm undecided. If Scotland was independent and was governed as a low tax, small state society which promoted growth, immigration and wealth creation, then I'd vote yes in a heartbeat, but the Scottish political landscape is stuck in the 70's, with dinosaurs like Sheridan kicking about, and insane spastics like Paddy Harvie spouting ****e about radical transformation of the economy, I worry that an Independence Scottish state will be like Ireland for 50 years before they adopted a rightwing political approach which fuelled record growth before the housing sector overheated and burst. The by-product of the Irish bubble bursting is that they have pursued the correct economic policies and are no longer relying on bailouts and are back in growth.
