So in today's Daily Retard we have - with two days to referendum day - a joint (signed) statement from the W3 promising more powers and no change to funding (via the Burnett formula).

Putting aside for a moment questions voters could reasonably ask about this statement - this is either total unplanned back-of-the-envelope panic by Westminster - or an incredibly cynical and disrespectful ploy to disrupt and confuse the electorate - there being simply not enough time to determine, discuss and debate what this joint statement means to Scotland.

It is frankly disgraceful and incredible that Westminster has come up with a statement such as this at this very late stage. Anyway - they reap what they sow.

Also starting to see a lot of pictures of people's Facebook where they are saying that anyone who votes No is a traitor - quite sad to see that

Again is it not what you expect to see in a campaign

What do you expect Westminster to do - sit there and do nothing ?

Come on! This is not local council stuff with guys playing silly games - this is the future of the country. So you tell me LP - which is it - chaos or cynicism from Westminster? If it is 'playing politics' then at this stage it is a dodgy game of poker to play,

That said I think it'll be enough to sway things to a NO but I honestly don't think this will do them any favours other than maybe saving the Union.

Are you really that naive you can't see a lot of things that are said and done by both sides of the campaign are done purely for someone's vote

Sides are playing their trump cards

No doubt the Yes campaign will play one ( if they have any )

I heard on the news while driving to work today that Mr Salmond is promising more jobs should a YES prevail.

How can he make guarantees like this when the entire running of the YES campaign has been so vague on ALL the key issues.

He can't guarantee what currency will be used, but he can guarantee jobs :confused:

And Salmond has been crystal clear on every issue of the YES?
