    But this isn't close to being true.
    The SNP state that they will continue to use the pound until the fiscal conditions would be in the countries best interests to move to the euro. This is, indeed, word for word what the UK government post on this issue.
    AS for tax the SNP have no control over VAT(hiked by unionist parties), income tax(hiked)
    Yet have control over council tax and have returned a real terms reduction.
    It's almost like you are clutching at straws?

    If you struggle with your reading skills then work on them.
    The reason why Cameron wouldn't campaign against dissolution was highlighed earlier. He has already made it clear he WOULDN'T stand in the way of the will of the Scottish people. IF the yes vote wins Cameron will let proceedings commence.
    Now, I have given my views on the oil settlement based on the IMB. What makes you think the UK government could possibly have a case at a court of law?

    So your main concern about normalisation is that Scotland would compete with England?
    Honestly in the modern global world is this really "what it boils down to"?

    You really don't understand any of this do you?
    Scotland is making a profit on the back of being Scotland.
    Lets look at Scotland main profit streams.
    Income tax
    Oil revenues
    Tourism
    technologies
    exports
    Now which of the following would deminish is Scotland became normal? Now the point you make about corporation tax is a valid one. Northern Ireland have been able to set their own rates of corporation tax and a reaping the benefits attracting more new investment in the previous fiscal year that in the two prior.
    Next you talk about the city of London. Do you think this directly benefits Scotland? It's actually for you quite a decent point. Glasgow in particular has grown into a major finacial player over the last few years to sit side by side with Edinburgh.

    Well I'm not. My wife is English/Scottish, as is her Mother. Our respective families have English, Scots, and Welsh. My anti-Englishness does not extend beyond wanting to win against them at sport. The same cannot be said of many locals here that are traditional Labour voters. A long serving member of a local community organisation here was recently voted off her position by a couple of brain-deads that started a campaign against her. They told her to her face that they didnt want an English-Woman in charge. They had their "Vote Labour" placard up in the garden this May.
    I await the next comment saying Scottish Nationalists are Racist/Anti-English etc. You know it's bullshit and you are only kidding yourself in saying so.

    If you are interested about Crime figures then you would vote SNP.
    You must appreciate that the extra 1050 police on the street is working. Crime is at a 30 year low. Was that not what you were talking about?

    Less than '5.2 million or so'?
    I suppose 'or so' is too complicated for little you.
    Anyway you're wrong, in fact it's over 5.2m, but we've all seen that facts aren't important to you.
    And hopefully they'll be teaching you English at school tomorrow that post was a wee bit sloppy.

    No the SNP support want the referendum to happen in 2015/16 as was CLEARLY stated pre-election. To call the referendum just now would mean the SNP have went back on a key election pledge. The party won power by being honest to the country, and it would only jeopardize this.
    Furthermore, The newly formed governemnt have the Scotland bill to tackle, providing the economic teeth to help Scotland continue to outperform the rest of the UK. I also suspect if the SNP continue to do such a brillant job over the next three years then there will be a swing towards full autonomy when the question is put to the people.

    First point, much more nonsense. Seems you can't understand my point, not my problem. Never been anti-english or ever bordered on bigotry; point you mentioned is; nah I'm not even going to spell it out for you. As I said, not my problem whether folk/you agree with me or not.
    2nd, I can't fathom how you somehow think the only intention of independence would be to spite England, quite perverse.

    Independence stuff is based on the anti-English shite that runs through Scotland.
    I refuse to consider otherwise.

    Our support doesn't offend me. I don't like anything that glorifies the orange order and queen tbh. Not because I am against these institutions( I would want to retain the crown if we achieve normality) but I don't like to see it at the football.
    I also find the fuck the snp rather cringeworthy, as the folk singing it are not the smartest.
    I have enjoyed the changes in the last 6 months. Love Penny arcade etc.

    Wales doesn't have a substantial Irish Catholic, or of that background, population. I think you'll find that Wales is just as violent as Scotland. It's just that they don't shout 'Fuck the Pope!' or 'Fuck the Queen!' when they're steaming in on a Saturday night.
    Seperate Schooling is an issue you don't really want to get into. If you're opposed to it for whatever reason, then all you can do unless you want to impinge upon peoples rights, is evict the Catholics from the country. As regards 'Sectarianism' and the role RC schools play in this then you have to take that issue all the way back to Rome. El Papa ain't just a pretty face.

    What about Flower Of Scotland being sung, and fans dressed as if they have just came from Brigadoon. Is that any worse than the Orange Order.

    Yes, The Rangers have long been outspoken champions of the sectarian schooling system and I suppose Willie Waddell invented idiotic parenting through his promotion of domestic violence?
    You're a mentalist.
