Scottish Independence?

[PeeJay]

Apparently the film Doomsday is being used as a template for rebuilding Hadrian's Wall if the vote is yes.

Begs the question will we have lots of 'no' voters coming to live in England if they 'yes' votes are successful?

Excited for Thursday. Great buzz around the country at the moment. Even though their is a lot of corporations trying to dampen it.

I've mostly stepped back from the debate following various bits of abusive mail that I received for an article I had published a couple of months back. As such, I shall just be giving all the moral support I can to my friends who are working tirelessly this week.

What a shame that born Scots who live in England can't have a say in the destiny of their country.

with each and every voting limitation, there is a side that benefits... strange how it comes to being, eh?

I mean... We don't allow convicts to vote for a reason. But what exactly is that reason?

Because in general they have proven themselves to be incapable of thinking about the good of society and by definition are selfish to a point they are willing to break the basic binding cornerstones of accepted social living.

Scots living in England have simple decided to legally travel within the kingdom they have historically and currently belong to. The only feasible reason to bar them from voting is out and out xenophobia.... IMO

I'm amazed that this being the most important event probably in the history of the UK that both sides cannot give concrete facts about key points. Very scary, andI can't help thinking ion the day it will boil down to whether Scots will be wanting to be known as Scottish or British.

After all the televised debates etc, the truth is no one really knows what will happen if Independence is voted for. A big failing on both sides of the political camp.

Whichever way it goes I hope it is for the best of Scotland.

The problem is one of definition, no-one can agree how to define Scottish in that context. I mean, if its based on domicile I might have been eligible to vote despite being from Hartlepool. Residence in Scotland seems to be the agreed compromise, for good or for ill.

I had a yes campaigner at the door earlier asked him a few reasonable questions but he couldn't give me an answer based on any actual facts. After which I told him that's why I am on the no side. No rational thinking person can risk theirs and their families future on some clown saying everything will be alright with nothing to back it up.

That's the part I don't understand; vote no and there will be another referendum at some point in the future, whereas if you vote yes and it was the wrong decision you are, to be frank, royally fucked.

I think no one actually knows what would happen so they can only trade on fear and uncertainty.

Still to my mind I'm not going to stick my hand into a black hole in the wall, not knowing if there is a pile of cash or a meat mincer on the other side. Seems to me that is the actual decision to be made. Everything else appears to be speculation.

Still we have all put our hand in the wall.
