Re: Scottish independence

I'm half surprised the Salmond hasn't mentioned that from memory both RBS and Lloyds have the UK government/taxpayer as a major shareholder. If I was being cynical I'd suggest this might have been an influence in them going public, however non-cynical the announcement was designed to stabilise the ...

Re: Scottish independence

I've just lost a good half hour of my life reading through the comments of a Better Together facebook post. I'm not suggesting every no voter is like this but I would defy you to find more rampant visceral spleen-bursting hate comments from the yes camp. (Although by all means post a link). https://...

Re: Scottish independence

A more detailed poll analysis from YouGov. http://up.metropol247.co.uk/Gavin%20Scott/POLL1.jpg The male/female split is about what I imagined. Not sure why I'm so surprised by the Lib Dem figures.

Re: Scottish independence

My point is EU should be dealing with the much bigger problems in the EU, like Immigration, jobs, etc but there don't because there don't care. You do know the amount of food the EU produces could help wipe out of the world hunger. Lets not go down the road about how fruit and veg needs to look nic...
