Salmond v Darling

[williamalex1]

The second live debate tonight BBC ONE 20.30 UK wide, so who's going to come out on top this time.

Surely Salmond must improve on his last performance especially on his currency plans or he'll blow it.

Opinions now and after the debate.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Yes that was a weird one, probably the worst performance I have seen Salmond give and the following day the polls show a rise for the Indy vote.

what polls? the 35 people they asked on the right side

Looking forward to a decent debate this time- will/can Salmond answer a straight question on currency this time? surely he has to, to at least stop behaving like an arse on TV...live.

I think the very unassuming Darling will tie him in knots, again!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I think the topics for debate tonight don't include currency but focus on such as the NHS and oil. Whilst it will be very tempting to Darling to switch all discussion to currency I don't think that would be a good tactic as could be seen as typical politician tactic - avoid question asked and try to answer the one you want to answer.

On oil I read an article in the Sunday Times yesterday about attractiveness of Aberdeen to property investors - why? KPMG reckon the. City needs another 120,000 oil and gas workers by 2022 to remains global energy hub. Now make of that what you will but it doesn't sound like a city in an economy collapsing as oil runs out.

Anyone else watching the Edinburgh Tattoo on BBC Scotland just now, I forgot how diverse it was.

 

[Dodger]

Darling is a weasel.

Is there any way he might be able to say why staying in the Union would be good for us or is he just going to bleat on about the pound that he's just admitted we can still use?

He,I suggest, is doing YES a power of good.

You mean he's a weasel because he's on the other side from you?

I wonder what animal description would apply to Salmond if you didn't like his views? Any suggestions?

Not at all. I am not on the other side at all thanks.

Here he goes again.....stuck again.

Weasel.

Fat Eck is slashing all over him here.

I thought you were English? Or at least lived in England?

 

[Dodger]

Insulting.

I live in England but have a vote through property thanks.

 

[rosecott]

Insulting.

I live in England but have a vote through property thanks.

Sounds dodgy?

My brother still lives in the family home in Fife in which I have an interest. Do I have a vote?

 

[Dodger]

Dodgy?

In what way? Owning property in Scotland to which taxes are paid entitles me to a vote.

With regards to you I have no idea.

 

[richy]

Insulting.

Hardly insulting just what I thought. Obviously I was wrong, no need to get your knickers in a twist.

On the contrary. Calling a Scot English is not my idea of fun.

 

[Dodger]

Darling has been absolutely poosiled tonight.Royally shafted by Salmond.

Darling concentrating on the risks and not anything positive to stay within the Union.

It certainly feels that the power is a shifting

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Not one positive sentence from Darling......rabbit in headlights.

Big shift to YES after that debate I would think.

Unintentional but I see your point. I'd hate to be called Scottish.

"You can't keep spending money you haven't got," says the man helped who added £500bn to the UK's national debt. Does Darling realise what a tool he made of himself?

It is quite interesting reading the differing views of the debate.

On the BBC ticker website it has the opposite than on here - people critsizing Salmond for once again not coming up with any of any substance and the normal answer of "because we will" - but also Darling doesnt get away with it also.

Its all full of hot air from the pair of them it seems.
