Saw a headline stating that Obama "tweets message" against independence. Think Cameron had something to do with that?

There didn't seem to be a massive groundswell for change. You need numbers in polls to be more than 50/50 to get change and they were showing that at best for the YES vote. It's probably a bit like the republican debate here, not really enough interest to bother with change.

I think there was a lot of interest. The republic vote in Australia wouldn't change peoples lives much. In Scotland it would have change everything and create major risks for them and future generations. I think it was taken very seriously by them.

If YES had won I think the Scott's would be fucked in the long run crying to Westminster for hand-outs that they would not receive. They have a good deal at the moment with England subsidising the whole nation. A whole nation of welfare dependent skirt wearing men with large pints of beer in their hand doing SFA on their own beyond a good comedy festival with oil reserves running out is no firm bases for a standalone country.

Please try to control your personal attacks and diatribe.

What do you actually have to contribute on the matter apart from personal bias and bile?

BO by way of contribution on the matter of Scottish Independance:

'Best outcome for them really.'

I ask:

"What the fuck would you know about what is best for 'them'?"

And you have no answer. Thought so. That's what your contribution is on this matter ~ condescending twaddle.
