Welcome to the forum Mr Salmond!
It's posts like his that really makes me want them to vote yes just so we can see his reaction when reality hits and they are nowhere near the 4th richest nation in the world. Cranberry sauce is waiting for the turkeys who vote for xmas.

It is a bit dismaying to read some particularly virulent anti-Scottish comments, of course, but at the same time it is amusing to think that some of those who express such views support the Union and cannot understand why Scotland would leave it.
The issue for me does not lie in the details or the personalities, but in history and historical forces. It's going in one direction, whatever the result next week. I agree with GDM and Bob Dylan about the times. In this instance, though, the issue has been clouded by personal interest and short-term fears, as well as nationalist feelings of one sort or the other. But the door is open now, even if they don't walk through it this time, in Scotland, Catalonia, the Basque country ... Didsbury.
