They have their own language already

 

Funny, the best estimate I can find is until 2040, and that is an optmistic one from the current administration.

More unbiased views put the reserves at less. Even if the first one is correct, 27 years of oil and then what? Hardly long term is it?

Geezer

 

What an idiot you are, and i don't usually call people names, but i'm making a special exception for you.

So you want independence but you want to keep the pound.

You leave your on your own end of.

Anything else you'd like to keep, like the queen just so you can use her for special occasions to attract more tourists.

Once your independent that means everything is scottish and you sort out your own finances AND currency, your not using ours.

If your intelligence is an example of the average "for" voter i pity scotlands future.

You are truly living in cloud cuckoo land.

Now i don't care one way or the other about scotland, but i would get off my **** and vote to make sure if you leave UK then you don't keep the pound.

 

pmsl such a dafty.

and why is it that in this thread its mostly people not from scotland that seem to know everything about scotland ? lol
since this thread is starting to go into the gutter due to small minded people that like to resort to throwing mud and insults and they don't even live in scotland ill end it at that lol

Lets just hope we get a yes vote and get to see how badly the rest of the uk does without us.

 

No be getting a yes vote from me

 

from what I have read on this thread most of what I have seen is english people trying to
say scotland will not make it and we would never survive on our own

to be perfectly honest it is people like this that makes me want to go independant and be done with it.

it is really very annoying when you read people who know absolutely nothing about scotland trying to say we wont make it on our own
how the hell do you know ?

all you are doing is repeating the Propaganda that your goverment , english papers and the bbc have spoon fed you
believe what you want I dont care TBH as me and many others will be voting to
go independant as we are sick of all the bullsh!t your country puts us through !

 

Please show me exactly where in this thread that i have claimed to know about scotland, in FACT i have said EXACTLY the opposite.

Your the one who has this jumped up idea of self and the great scottish nation, i couldn't care less about you or your country if i tried, (REALLY HARD) and i suspect the vast majority of people in england feel the same.

This is just a nationalist desire that has no basis in economic reality, and i'm pretty damm sure it will make no difference to england or the english man, but those children you speak of will rue the day the likes of you voted yes in years to come, you will just become the laughing stock of the uk and a prime example of how not to run an economy.

Zimbabwe of the british isles.

 

Well said.
we will see whos laughing when we get a yes vote! lol

 

you just came accross as a proper ***** ditchmyster

Zimbabwe of the british isles ffs

I think many of you english would think that if we voted no to independance its because we are scroungers and know we are better off leaching from the english economy

or if we vote yes and go indepenant we would as you said be the Zimbabwe of the british isles and the laughing stock of the UK

here is the thing people like me and other scots like me have the ***** to stand up and go it alone
many of you english dont like this and for instance post utter **** about how us scots are weak and not able to last on our own
how do you know this will happen ? do you have a big crystal ball in the back of your pikey
caravan that mysticaly tells the future
Hmmm no so do us a favour and STFU !

 

so it is a we hate the english thing then.

Your missing the point, you scotts think we care about you,

Don't give a flying **** what you do, this hatred is a one way street, you over estimate your own importance and are totally deluded, you don't register in the consciousness of the average english man AT ALL, get over yourselves.

What you do need to realise is your nation is insignificant to anyone but yourselves and your politicians are useless, and once your bit of oil has gone you have nothing, and will be worse than you are now, but your so twisted by hatred you can't see the wood for the trees.

I suspect the only reason the likes of cameron don't want you to leave the uk is because they know you'll be back with nothing to put on the table and a begging bowl in your hand in a few years.

Oh and as for the pr1ck thing, i can be yeah, but this time i'm being nice.

 

You don't care yet you keep posting in a thread about scotland? lol
you are a plank mate.

 

It's the internet, and i'm being entertained by deluded scotts, whats not to like.

You really think your important to the uk, trust me you'll not be missed.

Maybe if you got independence after WW2 you may have stood a chance, but hey what do i care, i already voted for my independence and left the uk to live in croatia. can't say i blame you for wanting out, but you need a plan that involves more than smoke and mirrors.

 

 

i dont think the average englishman even gives the scots a second thought, in the same way scots dont about the english

its not hatered between the the nations, just not a great interest in either persons place of residence, there history or anything else.

ive certainly no hatered based on where people are from, ive negative feelings towards people i think are tw*ts from any part of the world lol.

im yet to be convinced to go for independance - the case just hasnt been presented well enough to convince me.

also, joking aside why does mr cameron want to keep the U.K united?? what does he have to loose really?

 

My grand mother was an o'connor so i think i'm entitled to comment.

And as i said to your other deluded mate, it's the internet.

One day you'll pull the fancy endoscopy camera out of the proverbial St!t hole that is scotland and there will be no lube left.

Oh and there not my politicians, i already voted with my feet.

 

Nail firmly hit, this is the point i'm trying to illustrate to these guys, but not just that, the government of either side of the border don't care about the common man one jot.

Those thinking they will be better off are not the ones that will be doing the books, if you think they have wasted money now, wait till they start coming up with all kinds of hair brained schemes after independence.

 

if ever a sign needed vandalizing its the big one on the motorway that says
WELCOME TO SCOTLAND
it needs sponsered by england adding in spray paint

 

No thanks, we don't want our signs matching yours.

 

 

ahh politics, everyone loves there input eh

except politicians they love there expenses claims lol

 

I,m Scottish and not too keen on independence, our little great country is being turned upside down by Salmond and his storm troopers trying to be all nationalistic, I quite enjoy being British and quite like the status quo to be honest. I can't see any REAL benefit to go it alone!!!!

Mac

 

Im Scottish and personally I will be voting for independence. Although I dont agree totally with everything Salmond says the SNP have improved my day to day life (council tax freeze, increased my wages amongst other things) They have also objected to many things I hate about the westminster Govt (pension reform for one)


Slightly connected, my mate has just launched his own wee business www.ahmsayin.co.uk
If anyone is interested in showing the world your opinion lol

 

I am half Scottish, and I struggle to articulate the contempt that I have for idiots like you.

 

I do have a question though: do you actually think that Scotish people are a separate race from the English?

 

Only half inarticulate then?

 

You ask why you should care about my linage, which means your finally starting to get my point.

Your still deluded if you think your politicians are cut from a different cloth than those in westminster.

On a serious note, why is it that no one from the scottish side seems to be able to come up with the answers to exactly how you will be better off.

And where exactly did the funding for all of these improvements come from.

I'd bank that pay rise if i were you, because i have a sneaking suspicion it will be the last one you see if you get independence.

Your country is currently riding on a high tide of nationalism and no doubt you'll have a big party and all be drunk on patriotism.

BUT then you wake up the next morning and realise your in bed with a hang over and you pulled the fat ugly bird.

Good luck with that guys.

 

Ah yes, Salmond making lots of popular moves, whilst still backed by English money. Of course, he wouldn't do that to strengthen his position, oh no.

Is anyone going to illustrate exactly how this sort of stuff is going to be funded once you gain independence?

Geezer

 

Oil and gas is going to pay for everything it seems.

 

i have an idea.. it may just work.. how about you leave scottish matters to the scottish people and see what happens?

the amount of anti-scottish crap in here is why we will get a yes vote. so many non-scottish people thinking scotland wont be able to stand on its own. in for a shock i think.

also the more this thread goes on the more daftys seem to get pulled into it and the tone of the thread goes down and down.

wont be posting in the thread anymore as ill only get dragged down to there level lol
cheers to the people that had a wee debate/rant without resorting to insults or bull****
