DON'T LEAVE US!

Also is it not true that in Scotland the professional wrestling is almost exclusively in the genre of Hardcore sports entertainment? Also, je suis Européen.

{Ed007's Note - Here's a recent documentary about the Scottish wrestling scene.

I laughed when I saw one of these sports entertainers was called "mark" because that was what I was going to call all of them. 40 years ago they did not actually hurt each other and everyone believed it, and now they actually hurt each other and no one believes it!
also may I ask ED why are you voting yes?

{Ed007's Note - I can't see any reason not to, and when you question the No campaign they can't come up with any either.}

Am scottish

12.) 02 Sep 2014
I am Scottish and all I can say is Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

13.) 03 Sep 2014
I don't know much about the issues of the Scots leaving the UK, but do you not think its rocking the boat for the sake of it?

If there are plenty of good reasons for and against are we not better off with the devil we know?

I will be stunned if Scotland suddenly becomes a world super power because England and Wales were holding them back?

Scotland is about cut it's nose off to spite it's face by voting yes and I am disappointed my post outlining the reasons why Scotland should stay in was not posted, (nothing to do with currency)

{Ed007's Note - This really isn't the place for this discussion and your post was nothing but hyperbole and made up nonsense:

Imagine Scotland was already independent and we were about to have a referendum on whether to join a union with the rest of the UK.
Could the Pro-union side convince us that getting together would be better when we were told what would happen to Scotland after such a union? Some bullet points from the campaign…
-Your main Parliament will move 600 miles away, and your MPs will be in a tiny minority & will therefore have limited ability to effect policy on your behalf
-Scotland will get a government it didn't vote for.
-All of your oil and gas revenues will be handed over to the treasury in London.
-Even though not 1 inch of track will touch Scottish soil your taxpayers will contribute £4.2bn to the HS2 project.
-Your taxpayers will also subsidise the crossrail project to the tune of £4.2bn
-The biggest nuclear weapons facility in Western Europe will be built on the river Clyde, just 30 miles from your largest city.
-Even though you only have 8.2% of the UK’s population you will contribute 9.9% of the UK’s total tax take yet will only receive 9.3% of that tax take back to spend in Scotland (you will lose £4.4bn per year to the UK treasury)
-You will devolve all of the economic levers you have used to shape your economy directly to London and will now only have control of 7% of your economy
-Even though 79% of your MP's voted against it we will privatise your publicly owned mail service
-Even though 91% of your MPs voted against the bedroom tax in your parliament, we will impose it.
-Even though 82% of your MP's believed that a VAT increase would be detrimental to your economy, we will impose a VAT increase.
-You will join a country whose health and education services are rapidly being privatised.
-Now and again you’ll get dragged into an illegal foreign war.
-An austerity budget will be imposed from London cutting jobs and threatening vital public services even though 81% of your MP's voted against the cuts.
-The financial regulation system will be so weak and so lax that your whole economy will be brought to the brink of collapse.
-The most weak and vulnerable in society, instead of getting the protection and support they deserve will be interrogated and humiliated in an effort to get them off the meagre levels of support to which they are entitled.
Who in Scotland would vote for such a package?
Who would vote for that union?
So why would anyone vote to remain in such a union now?
This is about democratic ownership, social responsibility and the fact that Scotland on its own will be economically stronger from day one of independence.....

Why are the English so keen to keep Scotland under their rule? To supply even more young men to die fighting in illegal wars, to keep North Sea oil under English control? Over the years English governments (Governments we never voted for) have decimated our mining industry, our steel industry, our ship-building industry. They have battered and kicked us down for 300 years and now they are in a panic because we are kicking back. Britain didn't invade Iraq in my name, Britain isn't supporting Israel in my name, Britain didn't make the streets of Ireland a war-zone in my name, British governments haven't covered for and protected paedophiles in power (the BBC, Government ministers and members of the Royal family) in my name. What kind of government pulls the wool over it's own people's eyes and manipulates people by orchestrating incidents like the Lee Rigby 'murder' to stoke up racial tension, to get people on side for their next illegal war.
I could go on and on, but just to finish up, Bessex, Scotland don't want to be a superpower, we have no interest in warmongering, we have no interest in ruling the world, all we want is to control our own affairs and our own destiny. England needs Scotland a lot more than Scotland needs England, the British Empire is on it's last legs and the world will be a far better place when it does finally expire.}

London boy me. Good rant Ed. If you go can we keep your bit in the flag? Would look stupid otherwise.

{Ed007's Note - I'll see what I can do :)

20.) 04 Sep 2014
We'll have to change the flags name to the De-union Flag (De-union Jack on boats of course).

Irish heritage but born in Sussex

21.) 05 Sep 2014
I don't like the Union Jack anyway.

I would personally like the St Georges flag displayed in England.

Its plain, but it is our flag.
