Scotland has it's own ability to create all the Scottish money we want (within reason)


Our notes are produced by RBS and Clydesdale bank , none have the queen on them

George and David better up their game because this crap about Scotland will loose the pound is just complete nonsense and scaremongering.

And David Cameron's latest project of 'phone a friend in Scotland and tell them to vote NO'

smacks of guys clutching at straws

I don't think it really matters if Scotland loses the pound. Ireland have the Euro. I'd be more worried about not being a part of the EU myself....

Scotland will join the EU and Euro, that is the plan the SNP have made clear from what I can see.
They have been very clear about wanting to join the EU. This is why I laugh so hard when the word 'independence' is ever mentioned.
I've no doubt the Swiss find it hilarious.

^There ya go.

Without the pound its pretty much automatically going to be the Euro.

On the plus side it could mean easier trade with Ireland.

Referendums are something positive and people should be keen to take part in.

Its just a shame in this case that its a complete farce. If Scotland wants independence then thats what it should get.
None of this half measure quasi shit.

Thing is for me tho andy I cannot stand liars of any kind , I have never voted in my life , because I came to learn couple of decades ago that there was something very wrong with the system , full of liars from the top to the bottom feeders , so there is no point in playing the fake game .

Some day maybe they will learn that they are only lying to themselves

I totally agree in respect of representative democracy, voting in that case is futile as you point out.

Direct democracy though is something I believe in strongly, in that instance everyone should take part as much as possible.

The trouble with this referendum is that it is a real non choice, EU or UK and even then the UK is in the EU.
Ultimately just what difference does it make?

There is nothing I can see that shows the Scots will be better off.

TBH Andy I don't think it will make one blind bit of difference , I really can't understand why they want to bring this to the table now .

The way I see it Scotland has a sqewed form of identity , where they have banged on about the men from moidart , wallace etc.... but stand up to sing for the queen , it really makes no sense , so why do they want to break away now and be a seperate entity ?

As the very self same masonic voters will still stand and sing for the queen if/when they get indy

What I'm waiting to see if the orange and masonic order will be stopped in scotland and people treated equally , I doubt very much tho

I fail to see what choice they have in the matter.
If they become a separate state then they have no say in what the UK does with its currency.

What the Scots should push for...is their OWN currency ;)
