To feel sad that this could be the last day as a United Country?

[Loopylala7]

Anyone else?

If it's Yes,
does it mean that England will no longer have to continue to subsidise Scottish policies such as free care for the elderly, free university tuitiion and free prescription, which are not available south of the border

It we do, I can see LOTS of anger and resentment brewing between the two countries this is not the case

Democracy is only exciting if you think you are on the winning side.

The decision can never be reversed, unlike a general election in 4 years time.

If it's Yes,

It we do have to continue subsidising - if it's a No, I can see LOTS of anger and resentment brewing between the two countries

Larry you raise a good point, now I'm definitely rooting for yes

If scotland are a yes i want a referendum on my taxes going towards any shoring up of the new Scotland. A clean break. Sort out your money, your schools and your hospitals yourselves.

onelastfling Why would Salmond remind you of Farage?

Do people genuinely still think that the rest of the UK pay for Scotland's tuition and prescriptions?

A clean break. Sort out your money, your schools and your hospitals yourselves.

Exactly.

(I will be sad to lose them if it's a yes), but they should stand on their own two feet if it is.

Yes, they will move on happily.

To suggest anything else is to say that they don't believe in Democracy and the Scots are really passionate about democracy.

In challenging austere times it's really incredible that any percentage would vote for a change to the status quo - people who are under pressure are very risk averse.

Whatever side you're on it's unbelievable that it's so split, it's just such an amazing thing that 40% plus would vote for change.

It's inspiring, incredible, hopeful ... that humans would do this.

Whatever the vote it will be fine and GALLUS tomorrow. Folk love a good argy bargy but it WILL go back immediately to being absolutely fine.

He's got that same loose canon slightly looney look about him.

He looks all talk no substance. Untrustworthy.

I don't care and I am sick to the back teeth of hearing about it. I don't think the yes's have thought through what it will really mean for them and I think AS just wants to be the one that did it. Whatever way it goes, I just hope everyone STFU about it, but they won't happen, it will be ENDLESS.

YABU. It's exciting, for christ's sake. DEMOCRACY. Enjoy it, it'll be a while before it comes around again.

'Enjoy it' certainly wouldn't be a phrase I would use!

I have to say there are many in England if my FB feed us anything to go buy, think the same.

I personally can't wait to see the back of Irn Bru.

I love Irn Bru

Mel Gibson can do another another gringeworthy, over-sentimental film (which he's spectacularly good at)

Sorry, to clarify, I would accept higher taxes in rUK to fill any gaps in the rUK economy created by Scottish independence. I wouldn't agree to higher taxes to subsidise a newly-independent Scotland.

He could play Alex Salmond

Freedom 2

I don't think you are on your own with that thought.

I hope for goodness sake if it's 'yes' that David Cameron and Nick Clegg fight for the best deal for the rUK.

Most politicians look like that, don't they?

Personally, I've always been slightly puzzled by British Nationalism. But then I was probably 6 or 7 before I discovered that Scotland and Wales weren't independent (from England) countries. And I was an adult before I got the Ireland/Northern Ireland thing properly figured out. So this all feels a bit like putting things the way they should be to me.

Yes I'm upset at the prospect too. I love Scotland and Scots and feel that it will be part of our heritage being ripped away too if they become independent. I had a bad dream last night about it happening :(

Divide and Conquer.

I've alway very much felt British more than English.
