just another example of the scant thought of the consequences given to this matter by either side. it won't be a case of "yes vote, here we go!", there will be years of work establishing what independence will actually look like. Never mind currency and EU membership, there's loads of smaller issues that need addressing. one matter the SNP won't have given any thought to is the railways. if you read past ASLEF's political stance, this raises all the questions that need to be asked and resolved in the run up to independence, in just one industry.

I have held firmly to the belief - backed up by statistics, that two thirds of the population of Scotland are not interested in divison from the United Kingdom.
The nearer the reforendum date gets, the more preposterous Alex Salmond's posturing sounds, and indeed is.
The tragedy is the waste of money being caused by this nonsense.
At least we can hope that Mr Salmond has enough dignity to take his rejection and disappear up his own kilt.

It wasn't until I actually visited Scotland that I realised just how much of another country it is - as opposed to the bit stuck on the top of Britain which is probably how the majority of our MP's see it.
I think there will be a number of votes for independence, but from my experience, the Scots people are far to clever to fall for the puff promises of a power-keen party leader - even if he does have a local accents.
Pragmatism is one of the key aspects of the Scots character, and it has stood them in good stead for several centuries.

i stayed in Scotland for a time, and i think that most know which side their bread is buttered. There are obviously some who have a thing about the old enemy, i have been on the receiving end of some supposedly good natured ribbing, which wasn't remotely funny, over their hatred of the English, not you of course, i was told, as if that was supposed to make me feel better. I like the people of Scotland, the welcome, the food, the drink, the scenery, and even the bad parts, but what Scotland isn't, is some fairy tale country, with men in Kilts, playing the bagpipes, the clans agathering for that hootenanny, it's a myth, or a Sir Walter Scott invention. It has an egotistical man who wants to claim that sort of imagery, it won't work, Scotland is tied to the rest of the UK whether he likes it or not, and if he wants to get independence and then bankrupt the country, then let him.
