    yeah because GB was the only country in the world to go into recession in the last few years, oh yes siree bob, the rest of the world was sipping down pina coladas, while GB was in the ****. Every country with possibly the exception of Canada was hit hard, but vote YES, wee Eck will save us all.

    2am First seven councils expected to declare their results: East Lothian, Inverclyde, Moray, North Lanarkshire, the Orkney Islands, Perth and Kinross and the Western Isles.

    3am Aberdeenshire, Angus, Dumfries and Galloway, Dundee, East Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire, Falkirk, Renfrewshire, South Lanarkshire, Stirling and West Dunbartonshire to declare - that will bring counting to just under half the votes to be counted.

    The worst recession for 80 years which we got no protection from because we're ruled by Westminster.

    What's the positive about keeping the status quo?

    More of the same please? The UK is a busted flush and has been since the 60's. People talk about the UK's growth (fuelled again by a housing bubble in the SE) but Ethiopia is having double digit growth.... so let's all move there?

    Now is the best time to go it alone I feel. We've just had the once every 100 year economic disaster, the worst recession since the South Sea Bubble so it stands to reason that there "should" be relatively calm waters ahead.

    And look at Ireland FFS. They don't have our natural resources, yet they're having 2-3% growth and have exited the bailout and paid back half of the loans.

    Let's do this. NOW!

    The truth is no one knows the future. The UK could embark on another wonderful enlightenment and lead the world again, or it could succumb to the massive debt mountain that threatens the future of the entire Western world.

    We don't know, but what we do know is the UK isn't working, whether it's North England, Ulster or Wales, the main beneficiaries are London and the SE. Westminster, rightly, look at the SE and make policies that suit the people and companies based there.

    The policy makers look at the wealth being created there and tailor to the needs of that economic powerhouse. But we are geographically different and what suits the SE doesn't suit Wales, Yorkshire, Wales, Newcastle or Scotland.

    It's YES for this mickey basturt.
