Vote No in 2014

[gersforme]

I don't want to live in a socialist hellhole telling me what i can think, say and what I have to believe

the snp and their narrow mindedness can gtf

Britannia is my home.

[Taintedice]

Are you still planning on going to live in Wales if it's Yes :D

[Mook1]

I'm voting Yes.

I suspect it'll be an easy victory for the No campaign though.

[DeeMo]

Can you vote I don't know ? :?

[DannyBhoy]

I'm voting Yes.


No it is then! :D

jeers old pal, I'm undecided on this.

the idea of an free Scotland appeals tae me...however salmond has turned his back on traditional family values and the traditional mother, father, child relationship...I also doubt people of the good book such as me will not be wanted in the hell hole of this brave new world.

what dae you think I should do? I value your opinion on these matters.

cheers old pal :)

[Mook1]

So you want to vote for an independent Scotland but you're swithering because of one policy whereby they're going to legalise gay marriage?

Mental.

You do realise you can vote Yes & then vote Salmond out in a few years?...

[gersforme]

Salmond and his ilk have no time for christian values whilst at the same time they back parochial schooling :?

Their dream is of a utopian atheist society where euthanasia will probably be legal in no time and children will be taught all kinds of abominable stuff about the unimportance of gender roles

no thanks

rule britannia

[Red_Zeppelin]

I mind have known that wee naff mook would be all o'er this thread.

posting his hetrophobic, anti christian bile :blue:

is this really what an independent scotland is all about?

would I, as a hardcore presbyterian be allowed tae live in peace?...what the hell would be kids be taught at school? would they even be known as loons and quines????

[JimmyHaze]

Its a Yes for me, I might be idealistic but I think we have more chance of all views being heard in an independent Scotland.

I value all opinons even ones I dont agree with as long as the people holding them can debate and are openminded enough to listen to and consider opposing views

[Mook1]

Red_Zep, I'm nae fan of bufties myself but they already live together & are presumably bumming (perish the thought) so what difference does it make to you or me if they've got a bit of paper & a ring on their wedding finger?

I'm no 'anti-Christian' either, folk can believe what they want as far as I'm concerned.

[pwlp]

I'm voting Yes.

I suspect it'll be an easy victory for the No campaign though.

I'm voting YES too, I did think it was gonna be an easy NO win (say, 60-40), but I'm beginning to think it may turn as time goes on. Salmond's done a good job of timing this, as will become apparent when the year moves on. If I had to put my mortgage on it, I'd still say a tight NO win, but you never know once things start moving...

[DannyBhoy]

Salmond is a detestable character.

[Godric]

Salmond is a detestable character.

and Johann Lamont and her Labour coherts aren't like ?? .. the UK is in a mess not thanks to the Liebour party

[Godric]

and I will be voting YES

dan, salmond has got that yahoo look tae him...i wouldn'a trust him as far as I could throw him...the wee fat bassa.

[revolutionaryred]

You do know that same-*** marriage will be legal in Guffland and Wales before in Scotland?

So to be voting NO because of gay marriage is just plain stupid/bizarre.

It's a big YES from me.

Alex Salmond and the Snp are not the YES campaign, the Yes campaign is made up of Scottish socialist, Scottish Labour for independence, the Green Party, The Snp and and the 2 independent MSPs, if we get a YES vote the Snp are not guaranteed to win the 2015 election

[IanAberdon]

I'm voting YES...we can chuck out the Nats at the next election as an independent nation if needed. ;D

Surely better than what we've got, today's Thatcher/Tories story sums it up for me. :s

[Hairdrier]

Lots of very good reasons to vote no - Scotland has very large inequalities that have grown under the Nats, the place is turning into a police state, they haven't done their sums on tax raising, etc.

The trump card for the yes campaign is the prospect of more lame Tory/Lib Dem/Labour rule from Westminster. That could push a lot of people towards voting yes.

[Dirty_Dingus_Magee]

A yes for independence is not a yes for SNP or Salmond.

It's a yes from me.

[stewarty27]

Its totally right that the people living and working here in Scotland should make the descions effecting Scotland. And anyine who votes no because of Salmond has to be a total thicko !. Its like sayin im votin no cuz i like Cameron. Im voting YES for a richer better fairer Scotland.

[OleOle]

YES all the way.

Any person claiming to be a Scot who doesn't vote YES is a phucking coward and not a true Scot. If you want to be ruled by Thatcher's children for the rest of your lives then phuck off and live with the Nigels in their shytehole of a land.

This is Scotland's only chance in our lifetime to do the right thing. It's an absolute no-brainer.

If you don't like Salmond and the SNP then vote him out at the first Scottish election.

And phuck the bigoted clueless buns who don't give a shyte about their own country.

[gersforme]

i repudiate the notion that only separatists can be patriots, i am scottish, british and proud as phuck of both

Surely better than what we've got, today's Thatcher/Tories story sums it up for me. :s

Indeed it does. The Scottish Secretary under Thatcher would only will to agree to 50% of the proposed cuts as long as it could be "covered by deception" his words ... and The Government of the day proved to be telling bare faced lies. I was never a Scargill fan but he was right about the closure plans that the government of the day blatantly denied were even being considered... and these kvnts want us to believe their better together campaign.

I accept the yes campaign will be lying too but frankly Id rather deal with our own lying bstards who would be more accountable to Scotland.

God help Scotland if we vote no we will basically say to the Tories you can do what you like and once a no vote is secured just wait to see what the Tories do

[gersforme]

no is a done deal, live with it :D

[steviex]

no is a done deal, live with it :D

It is and god help us.

[KillieKingdom]

FAO Gers: Methinks that Salmond has only gone for same-*** marriage under him, because he's desperate for the gay vote with re: independence referendum and not for the reason it is originally intended.

I am probably going to be in the minority within the LGBT community voting NO. I can guarantee however that in England too, the idiots who voted, that a-hole Cameron in are probably feeling sheepish now after realising how much hurt and pain plus the damage he's done to the UK.

[BertrandRussell]

Vote NO and we can still have a Socialist Britain.

[gersforme]

I do not want to live under ancient anti english feeling disguised as "scottish nationalism", it has a dark underbelly of exclusivity which is not progressive in an ever shrinking world and European map, Salmond can quote all the ex Soviet states who went independent but they lived under communism all their phucking lives!

No wonder they got out the first chance they had!
A lot of poor souls think they are voting for Scotland "going it alone" far from it! They are voting for open borders, more rule from europe (just like eire), there is no nationalism here, just a bunch of junked up privileged lefties who made it into politics leading people to a marxist hellhole where everyone but bible believing Christans are welcome.

Those are the hard facts, I do not want the never ending expense of "independence", Scotland is better of with our fellow Brits, and regional division of an island , pro- devolution is madness.

Its pretty simple do you want decisions to made about in Scotland in Scotland or in London. Which of these 2 do you think are more likely to act in Scotland's interest?

There will be NO real debate and if you are waiting for one to make up your mind you'd be as well staying in the house on 18th September. The No camp will lie through their teeth with endless scare stories.

Even if it fails, a strong Yes vote is required, otherwise the Tories will go all-out to f*ck the country up knowing the Scots won't stand up for each other. Pretty much the way it's always been.

"take a chance"?

And what if it goes t1ts up? Do we go crawling back to the UK and say, "erm, sorry about leaving, we phucked up, any chance you could take us back"?

[Taintedice]

I don't really see how it can f*ck up, to be honest. Scotland is well-established, and all the ***** institutions have been independent since the middle-ages. The implemenation of this H2 will see north of Birmingham become a wasteland, so I think it's ***** for Scotland to establish its own economic base there, rather than worrying about London. The SNP are always going to struggle to make the economic case as we're a wee country and will be subject to a lot of international pressures, same as other smaller countries. But, if you want to see your country and citizens protected from an uncaring govt in London, vote Yes :)

Maybe not the best choice of words however, the chance(or risk), in my eyes is how long it would take to get get properly set-up on our own and iron out the inevitable issues.

I wouldn't go "crawling back" as you say. We would get it right it, I have absolute faith in that, its more a question of how long would it take and at what cost...mana

It's difficult to assess the impacts on folks' day-to-day life, I can see some stiff rises in the price of alcohol and fags, as the SNP are health-nuts and want to stop the sick man of Europe syndrome, meaning also they'll no doubt ratch up the pressure on individuals (nanny-state) to look after themselves better. Nae wunner gersforme is a No XD

I just think if we really are a country we should have our own government voted in by us not have a government voted in by our bigger neighbour.

Lets face it England runs the UK and now more than ever London runs England.

Why would we think they look out for us more than we would ourselves is beyond me.

How many other countries in the world dont have their own government?

All you need to visit/live in England is a 7-times removed cousin, then bring the entire family with you.

[weelabourwifie]

As one who used to beleive in the UK I no longer do, This unequal union has done nothing has taken Scotlands rich resourses and squandered them on the rich, And also Wars nobody wants, Enough is Enough if Scotland stays within this union we will get stuffed every time, My big hope was always the Labour party but in a lot of ways they are worse than the tories !! At least you always know what you will get from the tories, The fact is now the Labour party cannot get elected unless it panders to the rich and affulent London and the SE of England, This IS where UK elections are won and lossed, Im broken hearted at what the Labour party has become, They use Scotland like an auld hoor ! Enough folks let take control of our own destiny ! for that reason Im voting Yes,

[Taintedice]

I think Scottish socialists will vote No as they don't want to abandon their 'brothers' to the tories down south. I can sympathise with that, as there is a good chance labour and the lib/dumbs will form the next UK government. But socialism is a failed creed at the UK level, so what's the point. It could perhaps work in a smaller country like Scotland, as long as there is a fallback position.
