Both camps are hopelessly as deranged as the other.
It's depressing but a sad reflection on Jockish society on the whole.
Immature Yes voters with the Brigadoon and Braveheart complex. Blame the basturt INGLUSH for all their ills and think in the post UK utopia, thistles will grow where once only misery prevailed.
or
Mutant No camp basing their voting intentions on a self-flagellating opinion of themselves and life in general (irony not lost)

That's nothing more than a glib generalisation which doesn't even come close to representing the actual views of most of the voters on both sides.
The sort of pish that some ****e comic on Mock the Week would gibber out and the brain-dead masses would lap up as social commentary.

It's a perfectly clear and concise appraisal of both camps.
You get purple faced alcoholics, fresh faced students and limp-wristed lefties trumpeting Indy as a chance to finally rid Scotland of the basturt INGLUSH and the TOWREEZ, whilst you get equally purple faced alcoholics, students and right wing conservatives wanting no independence as WE IR TOO FICK or SAMOND IS A FAT ****.
The real debate should revolve around, what benefits will independence bring, will it generate wealth, are we willing to trade in 300 years of being one of the worlds leading nations on a leap of faith? England and Scotland (in particular) were a pimple on the backside of Europe before we sought a political union. The next 300 years spoke for itself.
Granted, those days are gone now, and in the past they must remain, but with the increasing likeliehood that the EU will want to integrate further, sitting with Nigel gives us a big voice.
But with the news this morning that my home city is again top of the league when it comes to poverty, health and investment, maybe it's time for us to go it alone as the Union isn't working for us Glaswegians.
Yes/No? Mibbees ayes, mibbees naw

I want to vote yes, but my fear is that we end up as Ireland in the 1930's-1980's. Bankrupt, ****e and throwing babies in furnaces.

The theory is that independence will invariable lead to Scotland creating a viable investment alternative to London, which in turn would lead to more jobs and drag people out of the spiral of debt and poverty, drink, drugs and violence.
Whether that would or could happen is debatable.

EU open market laws will ensure it doesn't start like Ireland did - and there are no respected socialist economists left.
It was good listening to the BBC News this morning and hearing business people in Cumbria saying they would probably move to Scotland in the event of a Yes vote as they feel they would fare better here.
