    Question for Fool Brittanias.

    How can someone who is born and raised in Scotland and who wants nothing other than the opportunity for his country to be in charge of running their own affairs and not be ruled by another country's Parliament nearly 500 miles away be regarded as a Separatist?

    We have a Scottish government who have responsibility for running the things that make a difference to us in the main.

    Why would anyone anywhere go into a polling booth and vote for another country to run their country?

    The Scottish people have decided to run their own affairs.

    They have decided by a margin of 55.3% – 44.7% to pool their sovereignty with the peoples of England, Wales and Northern Ireland

    They are idiots, blinded by dogmatic, romantic visions of a Britain from the 1840's, when we need a Britain for the 21st Century. Four separate nations operating independently in the British Isles would be far more successful than what we have now.

    Devolution is Still being run by another country no matter how you look at it. Limited powers GIVEN. Limited Tax raising.Limited Welare powers, Limited V.A.T. contributions. No choice in being involved in conflicts and wars.

    No control over National Insurance,the minimum wage,Corporation Tax,trade union law, Borrowing powers,

    Having right wing Tory Governments we didn't vote for for the next 20-odd years.

    All during the 2014 referendum the Naesayers conceded Scotland had the people and resources to run their own affairs successfully. Their argument was that we were ""Better Together""

    What you must really get your head around Noah is Independence is NOT about the SNP its about the people of Scotland having the right to make choices. One day I really hope you come around to that way of thinking.. I really do. Until then you are ruled by another country that is the reality.
