No, I want to stay

grr Music it annoys the life out of me when Scottish people do that unfortunately there are numpties who think that that sort of racism is ok.

Annunziata · 15/10/2012 19:26

No, I think it would be a terrible idea. (I am Scottish, well born and brought up here)

Saltire · 15/10/2012 19:27

I used to want the UK to sty together but after living with a Scottish house mate who regularly says awful things about English people and insults me constantly due to me being English I really don't care any more

After living in England for 12 out of 19 years, I don't care any more. About living in England that is, due to English people making awful comments aobut Scottish people and me to my face and being downright racist.
So you see, despite what some English people think, it happens to us Scots too

Haemadoots · 15/10/2012 19:27

No I am scottish and think we do well as the United Kingdom

Does anyone know if there will be a cut off for voter turnout like there was before where if not enough voters turn up then it doesn't count?

MrsjREwing · 15/10/2012 19:32

Is the North sea oil going to run out in two years? If so that may be why England is giving Scotland what it wants.

Good luck to the Scots if that is what they want. Just let us visit without a passport and don't join the EU.

ThompsonTwins · 15/10/2012 19:35

The Scottish Government has yet to make the case. For some Scots the feeling of wanting independence is emotional. They know what they want to run from but they do not know fully what they would be running towards. Looking forward to seeing and hearing the content of the public information campaign. If there is going to be one that is...

Mrsjay · 15/10/2012 19:36

Where are we going Grin Id imagine we would still be part of the UK in someway if we got independence but we won't I am happy to stay Alex is even allowing 16/17 yr olds to vote on it that is how confident he is of winning Hmm

Petsinmyputridpudenda · 15/10/2012 19:36

Dh has just found out he has Scottish parents ( put up for adoption at birth) so Scotland has to stay united with us till he explores his 'hOmeland' this seems to mean eating lots of shortbread and drinking whiskey while planning trips there.

LemonWOOOOsse · 15/10/2012 19:37

I'm in North East England - our local news tonight was full of 'What will happen if Scotland becomes independent?' and the impact it would have on the NE economy. Apparantly firms that would have settled in North East England will be 'lured' over the border by the offer of lower taxes etc. Hmm

I felt like calling in to say but look at all the jobs it'll create building Hadrian's Wall back up Wink

There will probably be some sort of majority voters thing before they can decide and it is just a vote for a vote isn't it

BionicEmu · 15/10/2012 19:38

If Scotland become independent and don't join the EU does that mean that if I visit up there I'll get all my VAT back?

Disclaimer: I have no idea how the whole tax thing works, I just know that when I went to Iceland I could claim all my sales tax (or whatever they call it) back as they aren't part of the EU.

laughinggnome · 15/10/2012 19:41

I don`t mind one way or another BUT I would like the Scots to have a choice.

Then perhaps the Scots that bang on about some old king who rampaged against the dude with the blue face paint however many years will finally shush about the whole sorry affair.

I do not however feel as an English person that I need a vote because if they gain independence and it all goes wrong they will bang on about it being our fault for the next 200 years.

Daddyshambles · 15/10/2012 19:46

I'm Scottish and I'm all in favour of independence providing we can untie the country and tow it a thousand miles to the south where the weather is better. Otherwise I'm staying in the UK.

I'm sure there's an oilrig somewhere in the N sea that we could dump Salmond on.
