So please spare me the regurgitation of project fear. The simple fact is you and your ilk would not vote for Independence if it could be proven beyond doubt we'd all be millions better off !! Our target is NOT you or your Rule Britannia mob we're going after the soft No voters and we intend to educate them to the truth. And if that gets you and Britnat fanatic incandescent wi rage...................... Then all the better


I'd vote for independence in an instant if I felt that there would be as much work as I wanted in my chosen field. If the spin offs from that were that there was more money for Welfare too then happy days. Thing is, apart from my constitutional preference I'm a realist.

From what I saw independence was really politics for the conspiracy theory crowd, people who rarely worry about responsibilies or consequences. That worried me, easily brainwashed and manipulated they believed every last word of the utter rubbish served up by Wings or Business for Scotland.

I don't really bother with politics, the referendum was the only time I've voted in the past 20 years, I don't align myself to any party etc..I generally dislike the notion that politics is really just trying to get as many people as possible to think the same way as you... However, all of a sudden everything was at risk..your job, the value of your home, the country's economy, NHS, Pensions, Welfare....it seemed there were a crowd of nutters prepared to put all that at risk on the basis that 'ach, we'll manage somehow!!!'


Not good enough...



So you're saying Oil and Whisky brings in more than enough to pay for everything and it's (another) conspiracy that (once again) Westminster are responsible for hiding the true revenue of Scotland.


Got ya.
