Scottish independence

You know us Glaswegians, the only thing worse than being a serial killer is going to live down THERE!! ;)

I know you Glaswegians well - I spent my formative years living in Mt Florida - a stones throw from Hampden Park - Somerville Drive side. Went to Mt Florida Primary school. So yes - I know Glaswegians - as I am one :)
 
Oh dear that includes me then......and I'm taking my grandson to Parkheed tonight, will I be safe. I don't think I speak English style.... actually.

Old boy.


You'll be safe - but don't expect any great level of hi-flootin cultural debate with the locals :) Nonetheless I think that you'll find that they are rather quaint and have some interesting behavioural traits.
 
Saves me asking what school you went to !! :D

I guess so - I didn't go to school Toryglen side if that's what you mean :)

Otherwise I'd have been in the same class as Jim Kerr as he is same age as me and he lived not far away (prob less than a mile) - but might as well have been other side of the moon in some respects.
 
anyone care to summarise the gazillion pages they wrote in their white paper?
News seems to be saying all the essential answers are missing as they don't have any.

You mean Wee Eck and Daphne weren't able to tell us what the world will be like in 2016? - poor show!
 
Yes they did!! Utopia in an independent Scotland, Purgatory in a UK one.

I haven't listened or seem - but I suspect they did more towards the 'utopia' out of UK than bother too much about 'purgatory' if still in.

I await with no little interest the BT Campaign response outlining why 'utopia' if still in, rather than them just focus on their view of why 'purgatory' if out. I bet though we'll hear a lot of the latter and not much on the former. The BT problem is that they don't have a clue what the UK will look like in 2016, post a Scottish No vote and a 2015 UK general election - and in that context they have difficulties putting forward economic or European absolutes for Scotland as well.
 
Apparently they want the BBC still and the pound... Independence is independence, you do it your self,you do your own dirty laundry as well.

By the way, why are the English not casting a vote on this, after all it is our possession :whistle: ... I'll get my coat now.

They have been told the pound is out and they will have to find their own scheckle.

Vote yes and Scotland will magically transform into a land flowing with milk and honey, Wee fat Eck and his Poison Pixie will sort the whole thing out, don't worry about the details, it will all work out fine in the end.

The man lives in cloud cuckoo land!
