IT is already at risk. We have so far recieved just 30% of the austerity cuts that are coming our way if we stay with the UK. I hope you don't have mortgages on your rented houses because if you do you can expect to be in trouble very soon.

How you got to ths position without imagination must be more luck than judgement. Vote NO and your luck will soon run out.

I think what *****s like you miss half the time is that the state is seen as a burden to quite a lot of people - it's not a big free pinata where everyone gets a stick to beat it - it actually has to be paid for. You talk about austerity as if everyone loses something free - no they lose something they are borrowing money to pay for - and they will have to pay it back at some point.

WTF is a *****? I thought that was my point. And cut the insults boy I have obviously hit a nerve. Perhaps you have borrowed to rent? I have little sympathy with people who try to make money with money. These are the people who have put the world economy into the mess that it is in. I rent out property but this is as a result of productive business that provided a service to the community and my property is paid for. If you play roulette it's no good moaning when the 0 pops up.

God forbid somebody tries to make money with money.

The nerve you hit was 'what about austerity?' when addressing someone who very probably isn't a net benefactor of state wealth redistribution. It's the naivety of assuming that everyone gets something for nothing - what you don't seem to realise is that for some people their main relationship with the state, at least as they see it, is to write a cheque for their taxes - and their only interest in it is that the cheque be as small as possible. Also I don't believe you are a businessman, for one you don't seem to have a grasp of profit and loss, or even get the concept of balancing books.

and might I add rather aggressive, typical of the yes voters.

If the no vote wins this chap will take some beating in the ensuing mega beel stakes. :)
