The nation is on tender hooks but could turn out to be a damp squid. Salmond is champing at the bit, Cameron trying to nip it in the butt. Darling's embarrassing debate defeat may have cost the no campaign victory in one foul swoop. Im not adverse to an independent Scotland but we should remember that all that glitters is not gold.

What the hell are tender hooks?

Mainly because he is the one lying through his teeth usurping the Scottish people into thinking he is going to create some sort of utopia where no one pays tax. They spend loads on the NHS. They receive no additional money from the treasury through the Barnett formula. Which is around 5 billion.

The sums don't add up.

How the **** do you usurp someone into thinking?

According to you, but you've clearly not a scooby and not read nor heard Salmond's counter-arguments to the naysayers and doom mongers' scare tactics.

This is a vote for Scottish Independence so it has nothing to do with anyone apart from Scots or people who live here and to take your argument to it's natural conclusion, I should have a say in whether Cornwall ever gets independence, I don't believe I should because basically it has **** all to do with me.

What you do next week could have a huge impact on the rest of us. I don't agree we should have a vote as some have said but it's wrong to say it has **** all to do with us.

You're right.

But its also true that a lot of Scots already feel that huge impact you talk about when Westminister dictates policy to us. Policies that make a lot of sense in London but when you stick it on Scotland it makes **** all sense (in my opinion anyway)

As far as I can tell that's the most common reason for voting yes. I really don't see whats wrong with wanting the ability to elect a government that deals with our wants and needs.

I don't disagree with any of that.
