Scotland Debate

[Old Skier]

Are you implying that the Scots, Irish and Welsh are terrorists now?

Are you really that silly

 

[Old Skier]

Would appear I'm not the only one to draw the conclusion, but we'll never know what he meant in truth.

it's one 't' in Scot btw.

I would hate to bully you into thinking anything else however I am beginning to think there just might be 2 t's in Scot.

PS: Once again I will own up to not being English.

In all honesty I do not think there are many if any YES guy on here.

There are three or four looking for a balanced debate and trying to right the many 'natural' assumptions from the non voting NO guys constantly give out.

I'm trying to be one of these.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Equally the Yes vote are not giving a vision of the future so snap.

What makes you say that? Of course the YES campaign is giving a vision. It may be filled with uncertainty but at least it's a vision.

Well, I think there's been a bit of trouble in Ireland. And a few 'second homes' have been burnt down in Wales.

Does the havoc wreaked by Blair and Broon count?

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

No one knows if anything will, what is certain right now is nothing will because as far as I'm led to believe no one has said there will be change post NO

And no-one has said that there won't be. So other than staying in the UK what are you voting for if you vote NO. Again - all I'm saying on this is that BT are not giving Scots any vision for the future.

You seriously posted that! You don't know what what someone voting NO is voting for?

Are you deliberately trying to be obtuse?

No I'm not - voting NO is clearly voting to stay in the UK and for the status quo. Tell me what else voting NO brings then>

Thing is I'm not hearing from BT any vision for a future Scotland in the UK when maybe some undecided voters might like a bit of vision from BT - because they don't really like the status quo.

If I am wrong tell me what BT have in mind for Scotland in the future - other than more of the same. And with that I think BT are running a risk with the undecideds.

 

[Hobbit]

And rightly so, given we contribute more than pretty much everyone else.

But I do agree with this, I'd dump Falsane,The £,Euro and NATO.

But you're not contributing more The City of London, financial district, contributes not far short of the revenue that's seen from oil.

It's Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics again!

Check out the vid that Adi posted and you'll see why - and it's in those ONS figures too!

Why does it have to bring anything apart from "NO I don't want to separate from the Union"

Your looking for agendas that possibly aren't there.

I think you alluded to the fact you were born in Scotland previously?

Anyway, onwards.

Did anyone happen to see the last nights referendum debate on BBC2?Again, I thought they did a pretty good job, and the guy who chairs these debates is the best I've seen from any station, James Cook is the guy, reckon he's working his way to being The BBCs main man this year.

couple of points...I think Lesley Riddoch is terrific, she should get back into politics.I think Brian Wilson ( for all I disagree with him on nuclear power stations and his football team) is precisely what I'd want from iScotland Labour, the guy is decent and his work on land ownership in particular is good.Carmichael was probably on his best behaviour,considering it was his constituency, and only made one ricket, so pretty impressive for him.Thought the SNP Constance was a wee bit light weight, too much smiling for me.

It doesn't - but I think it is running a risk by not doing so. You seem to be ignoring the fact that for a century there has been an underlying yearning among some/many Scots for going it alone. And there will be many who whilst not promoting or supporting independence might have had at the back of their minds - maybe one day - but not at the moment.

And I think it is the votes of these people that BT is risking losing to the YES campaign. Because 18th Sept is the date they can decide one way or another. So if they are in the 'not now maybe another time' camp - then they might realise that if 'not now' then another time might not come.

No I didn't but the majority of your post indicate you only read and agree with the bits that suit you.

 

[Old Skier]

So SLH do you suggest that Westminister offer the people of Scotland a bribe to stay in the UK. I'm sure the rest of us would love that.

City of London institutions may move to Nigeria in 5 years time if they get better deals.
Oil is there for 50 years.

Calm down dear, you'll need to change your Tena if you keep getting this upset,.It was a genuine mistake, I was sure you had previously said you were born in Scotland.

Always been calm which according to HID is one of my annoying features. I'm sure I have a couple more.

I was born in Jamaica but I am Welsh with a preference to be considered British but in the end people can call me what they want.

Now, would you support independence for the Islands of Scotland.

 

[Adi2Dassler]

Now, would you support independence for the Islands of Scotland.

Theoretically, yes.But I do realise there has to be a point at which demands for independence stops...Leith from Edinburgh is my own personal crusade.But I do think there is a strong feeling that Orkney/Shetland and maybe to a lesser degree The Outer Hebrides feel as disenfranchised from Edinburgh as London.

I'm ignoring it because it's hearsay.
