Scotland Debate

I've listened to the debate and answered, I've been scoffed at and kept coming back.I'm confident in my assertions and my point of view and can back it up, unlike most on here.

I think that is fair comment. Your position is quite rational, well thought through and plausible (if slightly over optimistic in places).

I don't agree with you but can respect where you're coming from.

I don't think that's very fair. Yes you have argued a good case but built on assumption and faith and sometimes in direct opposition to the spoken and written facts.

Most on here have portrayed equally good arguments and asked questions that have been deflected or ignored by the YES campaign.


I've said it before and I'll say it again. YES and NO want the same things but YES are going about it in a radical and ultimately destructive way in my view, fuelled by the SNP's entire reason for being. - separation.

That's from May? It's been established that both the type 26 ships and Prince of Wale swill be built in Scotland, irrespective of tomorrows vote.They can't be built anywhere else in The UK.

Only the carriers can't be built anywhere else. The type 26's where offered as a bribe in essence. The british government won't allow miltary equipment to be built outside the UK.

The Type 26's can be made in Portsmouth as far as I'm aware.
 
As a fisherman I think if Scotland gets independence it would be a terrible situation for the fishing industry,the snp have not come out and said what the future plans would be,what little they have said is only based on assumptions, this for me is the flawed argument of the snp most of their policy's seem to me to be based on the premise of let's get independence and then try and govern.

IMO this is no way to plan for the future of Scotland

One of last nights TV highlights was two lobster fishermen from dunbar on CH4 news.They basically ripped the pish out of each other, one was yes, one was no.

But I'm interested in your point of view seeing as you work in one of our main industries.My own, possibly misguided, view of fishing the north sea, is the common fisheries policy we signed up to has reduced your ability? Wasn't it a rough deal handed down by westminster? I'd have thought independence would be great for your industry?

I always thjought the fisheries act was European wide, and therefore couldn't be a rough deal from Westminster?? More likely to be a rough deal from your wannabe new bosses in Brussels!
