No UK sport funding. No lottery. No roads maintained. No NHS. The list of services that the English help fund is nearly endless. Good luck to them.

york away to this! said:what happens if it's a draw? I assume it goes to rock paper scissors - best of three.
No one thought of it!
There is no plan.
Quelle surprise!

The media keep saying how this has galvanised politics. I don't think it can be cited as such because this isn't about politics as we understand it, more a desire to send a message.

I think you will find they will be able to set up their own versions of the above, and they can afford it.
The arrogance of some English people is laughable.
i think you will find neither side has been precise with the budgeting for these things. Worrying for either side !Mike N said:trunky said:No UK sport funding. No lottery. No roads maintained. No NHS. The list of services that the English help fund is nearly endless. Good luck to them.

I don't mean to insult you. I simply wouldn't know about the IFS. However, I do think Neill and his paymaster are not impartial but they have access to the media and therefore can influence public opinion. And I do not consider them honest or decent either. I believe their venality and reptilian self-interests are of no concern to the issue of the independence of a nation.the god Gerry Gow said:hackneyslim said:Andrew Neill is a Murdoch mouthpiece and as such is fundamentally a propaganda tool. If listening to liars, blowhards and doomsayers is an acceptable conduit to political solutions, he should be Speaker of the House.the god Gerry Gow said:Brilliant interview the other day from Andrew Neill.
This SNP woman kept bringing up the NHS and how it was only safe under SNP hands.
Neill let her rant then pointed out that in real terms the SNP had cut NHS spending by 1% whilst the rest of the UK had increased theirs by 4%.
Cue much reversing of position and stating that the campaign wasn't about that anyway more about not privatising bits of the NHS.
Hang on says Neill are you saying the SNP haven't privatised any services. Yes says the woman.
Funny says Neill cos you have definitely privatised Woman's obesity programmes. You have given them to weight watchers.
Cue bluster, bluster and more bluster
Which is all very clever of you to say but the figures came from that independent body The Institute of Fiscal Studies.
No doubt you think they are Murdoch mouthpieces as well

So you just believe what you believe and everyone is therefore wrong. OK - well done.

worked in Corby for five years in the early eighties, they were spouting that shit back then too. Just laughed at them, but having said that there were some great people living there and in fact used to go to city games with several guys from Corby.

Tomorrow I will vote NO on the basis of there being no concrete answers about anything from the yes campaign about any subject. As a Englishman who has grown up in Scotland I can see both sides of the coin. The yes campaign is built solely on the heart the No on the brain. Which one will win will be decided when it comes to ticking the box all alone in the polling booth. I don't have any kind of ideas about being better without the suppressors as it is being sold. I know without the union this country will lose a lot of funding. But I think this is the beginning of the end for the union its only a matter of time before its all broke up so why not now? Zero information! That's why, the terms should have been laid out clearly and agreed by both sides of the border before any kind of decisions had to be made. There for the question is wrong. Should Scotland be an independent country? The answer for any country is yes. Will Scotland as an independent country be a better place in the future? Without any agreement from both sides before hand no one knows. So HEAD or HEART? Emotion for me has no place in this answer NO!

Once they are gone, there is no coming back.
They make their bed, they can lie in it.
They may vote No of course, but as you say, they need us more than we need them.
