For many years Scotland has had a positive balance of payments, we export far more than we import.
A large percentage of our imports are from England

If the yes voters have been taken in by that there's no hope. If that kind of message has been believed how gullible are you and how many other "facts" have you been taken in by.
Once again you go on about England when you know full well any decision is going to effect the whole of the UK.

So why did/is our economy grow/growing at a slower rate than that of the UK?

If you are going to post nonsense as fact at least back it up with something.

Not at all, I witnessed an egged window with a NO poster up.

Judging by his conscription post - just made up garbage.

As usual, and chances are no response either which has been common theme when his inaccuracies have been pointed out all over this thread.

This egging is getting out of hand.
But seriously, when all the no camp have to be concerned by is a few eggs, in this febrile atmosphere I'm absolutely loving, then the yes camp are doing pretty well.Good to see we're only resorting to eggs and name calling instead of fire bombs,breaking bones and kicking women.

This is a guess, but maybe because the economic choices being made down south are to help that region?Maybe if the economic choices laid fully with Holyrood we could redirect our economy to one that suits our needs?I suppose that argument could be made for parts of England/Wales outside the M25 corridor, and that is also correct, but unfortunately they're not having a referendum to remove themselves from that particular train.

You called DCB's post a joke I merely commented it's not. If you are thinking what you posted is only happening on the YES side you are seriously mistaken.

Can you show me what facts you use to gain that conclusion

I could have my blinkers on, but I'm not sure there's been many assaults reported by yes on no?Like the mass beating of jambos for yes at tynie at the weekend...I'd appreciate links if you can provide?
Btw, I'm not doubting there are vocal idiots campaigning for yes, I've been accused quite a few times of being one myself!

So your thought is a guess, at least we get that part correct.
I'll give you my guess, is it maybe more the fact that Scotland's economic growth is down to the fact that there is not enough revenue generated in Scotland to sustain a similar level of growth to that of the UK?

As we all could I suppose, all im saying there are many reported and not reported incidents on both sides.

Everything is a guess, no one on either side is Nostrodamus.You're opinion is fair enough, but neither of us know for sure, just like Osbourne or Swinney can't know for sure, and certainly not Darling/Brown.But I'm prepared to put my faith in Scotland and it's people, I think ( and I know this is a cliche used ad naseum by YES) that the best placed people to run the concerns of Scotland is the people who live and work here.How anyone can think otherwise is something I'll never be able to comprehend.
I've not seen any reported physical attacks by yes campaigners

George Foulkes, former chairman of Hearts and a firm supporter of the No campaign, stressed that there was no evidence the attack had been carried out or orchestrated by No campaigners.
He said: “I deplore any physical violence but I think you have to be very careful about making claims about who is responsible.
“I would deplore it. But I suspect it may be being exaggerated and twisted to create counter balance to the attacks Jim Murphy has had to suffer.â€
I also understand one No campaigner has suffered abuse a long the likes of being called a terrorist and a peadophile
I watched the live debate last night from Edinburgh.
Much better than the first two, both sides spoke well, no shouting over each other even from Sturgeon, well chaired and some very good points made and information devolved that couldn't, or wouldn't be answered by the first two leaders.
I have to say though that the 'star' of the show for presentation was Ruth Davidson who was quite exceptional and eloquent. She should be in place of Darling.
