[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

...

I feel there's been too much hysteria about business moving south that people have got into a panic and they cannot think straight because of it. Calm down until you know the result of the referendum first! I'm certain the panic will be for nothing. I bet most of the posters feigning panic will probably still be in Scotland in ten years time.

Murdoch was always going to do this as payback for the whole Rebecca/Sun carry on

There's about an 80% chance, I would say, possibly more, of my job being relocated. I work in quite a specialist profession and most of the others have about the same probability of shifting. I don't want to go - but I have worked hard and still have more I want to achieve and I probably won't be able to do that in an iScotland. Not fear, just realism.

It's dawning on me, what we're seeing here is a lot of keyboard warriors, mouthing off on here.but hiding behind their curtains from the scary yes voters...

Lovely, I am not a victim, I haven't been assaulted, abused or anything else, I just keep my mouth quiet as feelings are running very high on both sides - even Irn who is on the other side of me on this agrees with me!

As for moving south of the border that isn't any empty threat, that is very, very real and I wish it wasn't.

The Carol Craig article is good for showing were all this positive spin has come from.

Oh lovely - thank you that has made me feel so much better - silly me to have to worry about my job and family.

So tell me - what do i do when my work moves to England. It has to if Scotland becomes independent.

You may well be comfortably shielded from the impact of your vote. I, however, am not.

From what I have heard on the radio and seen on TV the Yes voters are way more chilled and less aggressive. Cameron Clegg and Miliband going there today is a huge mistake as it looks so desperate and bringing Brown the worst chancellor ever out is tragic.

And you say the No posters are campaigning then have the cheek to tell us to calm down and claim we're feigning panic. Nice, IrnBruTheNoo. You don't know us, you don't know our jobs, you don't know our situations. Given that we almost certainly have a better idea than you of what the likely outcomes are for us personally, don't we. It's been explained numerous times why it isn't scaremongering - you choose to ignore it, that's fine. After all, it doesn't effect you and as you keep saying, people don't care about things that don't effect them. Or does that only apply to the evil No voters too?

"Feigning panic"
"Keyboard warriors" typed on a keyboard with no irony whatsoever
There are posters on here who are No campaigners rita but maybe they don't feel the need to shout about it all the time

Not all Yessers are scary and nor are all Noers there are some well-balanced people on both sides and on both sides there are some really nasty pieces of work which is why I choose to speak in private and a fundamental part of why ballots are private.

Lovley, this is the 7th thread. We are not just "keyboard warriors" - quite a lot of us are actually out doing things. Maybe rather than jumping in and trying to start up arguments that have already been had and resolved you could read back a bit.

I've just added my question to the thread for tomorrow's question and answers session with AS and AD:

Would the Bank of England fund Scottish banks under proposals for a separate Scotland to continue using the pound without a currency union?

"chilled" and "less aggressive" . Noddy you've givin me a wry smile.

Less panicked I'll give you that, but there is a messianic gleam in the eye that is far from chilled!

We'll see...

But please people, cheer up.

I've been around since the second thread thanks. It seems there's a couple out there knocking doors, the rest aren't even publicly talking about their decision.

If you read the threads, Rita, you'll see that a fair few of the No voters on here are out campaigning regularly.

Please don't be a bully.

(Also round us, the No posters get vandalised while the Yes posters are in tact. So, you know, I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to keep quiet.)

I am not panicing - I am coldly realistic.

If a yes voter can honestly hand on heart demonstrate that they fully comprehend and articulate the downsides and then still turn around and say "dont worry - it will all be fine" I will be utterly utterly amazed.

It is not hysteria - it is a genuine reaction to what is a very real possibility. Because it is an outside context problem for someone completely shielded from the impact - doesn't make the issue any less real.

Oooh, I just thought Rita might be psychic ... but it appears she was answering Statistically

I'm good, but not that good!

Anniehoo - don't the Scottish banks already deposit notes with the a Bank of England to cover their own activities (including the notes that they print)?

I know you didn't address your remark directly to me, IrnBru, but I can promise you I am not 'feigning panic' - I suffer from depression and anxiety, and this situation has raised my anxiety levels beyond anything I have ever experienced before. It has set my IBS off again - my symptoms are more severe than I have had in ages. I have insomnia - I have had one half-way decent night's sleep in the past 3 months. When I do sleep, I am having nightmares and anxiety dreams.

I was about to come out of therapy, because I could see that I might be well enough to manage without - this weekend I was the closest to suicidal I have been in months.

Do not bloody dare to belittle what I am going through by saying people like me are 'feigning panic'.

And LovleyRita's comment about keyboard warriors - words fail me.
