These "English greymigrants" to which you refer.
You don't sound very inclusive or welcoming of them.
Would you not then include them in what someone once called "the guid folk o' Scotland", Mr. gubrach ?.

Things have continued for decades always putting the Scots at a disadvantage and always seeking to take more oil

2nd paragraph, 8/9th words..."Scottish traitor" Donald Dewar.
Sounds a really unbiased site.
I'm sure we can absorb all that as truth no worries.
As for the bbc though... dinnae trust them.

I am scottish. Not a jock. If I need to hand in my drivers licence and replace it. With a scottish one . Then so be it. ( why do no voters try to push the idea that yes voters are thick ).
Eddie, you don't have a clue about how much oil we have, do you? Or how much Russia has. Russia supplies a large percentage of Europe with their gas, they have the power to turn off the pipelines and make people suffer, we can't even supply the whole of the UK. We could turn off the pipelines and nobody would notice - some bargaining chip that is.
And who owns the oil in the UK? The country owns the oil and companies produce it and are taxed heavily for the right. You may hear about massive profits for BP and Shell but I can tell you that they don't make their profits from UK oil, it's made in the USA or off West Africa. Buying the fields off the oil companies would break the country and not make much more money (unless you reckon that a Venezuela style grab and re-nationalise will do more for us than it did for them. Venezuela is screwed as a result). We don't even have as much oil as Norway, let alone Russia. Wake up, stop believing the lies that are being fed to you.
What really worries me is that a lot of Yes voters have swallowed the line that there are heaps of oil revenues coming their way. It's based on pure ignorance.

If we are such a barren nation with nothing to offer , why are labour and the Tories selling their soul to keep us

Yeah I reckon he probably thought that this was a price worth paying for devolution - the populous now thinks he was wrong.
We will never know the truth behind that as there is only on voice left and that is the voice of WMD and we know how creditable his voice is.
Yet again Westminster politicians taking advantage and spinning lies
You're quite right about the BBC as can be seen from umpteen posts unusually though they have written the following-
BBC News - Scottish independence: Vote disorder reports
....also don't swallow that one about renewables being the saviour of our future....wind farms are only economic because of the subsidies.
they are inefficient mechanical and unreliable...have a look at the ROI figures if you were to invest in one and there was not be any subsidy for the energy they produce (or not)

have you just watched some weird sci-fi or something? Scotland has plenty of renewables and oil and while it might not be worth extracting our fossil fuels those same resources will remain there for the future if we need them
Correct - there's been an estate up for sale recently in the Highlands.
It covered roughly 22k acres a number of farms, wind turbines with a number in the planning process, mini hydro stations with a number in the planning process.
Total value including the sporting rights was circa £11m but guaranteed income before any work done was £600k pa. Who needs loads of cash - set up a business case and banks would be falling over you to lend you the money.
Yet that £600k is incentives that the tax payer and energy user is subsidising and that is for one estate - how many more are there out there like this.
However people need energy to utilise all their 24/7 gadgets and life styles so someone will always be willing to pay.
Otherwise they wouldn't be laying power cables from Scotland to Wales thro' the Irish Sea as they are at the moment if there wasn't a demand.

I watched the bbc news tonight (who was that said boo hiss ? ).
It showed Dennis Canaghvan all but attacking Jim Murphy.
He was pointing fingers at Murphy,talking then shouting over him and generally losing the plot.
The "illegal war" was mentioned of course (wish I had a penny for every time I've heard that recently) and then he went through his verbal agenda. The interviewer said that time was out but there was no stopping Canaghvan...there never is once he gets started.
I think the beeb will save that as an outclip and show it when the dust has settled (?)
Canaghvan and Sillars. Two bitter,angry old men.
There is nothing more scary than a Yesterday's polititician smelling another chance of power.
I don't want them having any power over me.
I also watched Nicola Sturgeon saying that they needed more job creating powers.
I wondered what the guys working in Faslane, Scotland's largest single site employer, thought of that.

Another way of generating income (pardon the pun) any power generated is taxed and any power exported is taxed and all subsidies are renegotiated to prevent the rich from getting richer and the poor poorer.

If Scots engineers were to design a generator powered by the dual fuels of denial and blame shifting then we would be the most energy rich country in the world.

Jim Murphy is one condescending bugger though.
The clue is in the denial of all the info and advice given by the great majority of financial institutions and impartial experts to you and your preference to believe whatever wee eck tells you.
ps... re the driving licence wonder how long it'll take till a McDVLA is sorted out...and how much it'll cost.
Those things always get done on time and on budget don't they ?.

I'd rather have a Jim Murphy than a Canaghvan anytime.
Check out Canaghvan on "right to roam" .
At least one good thing will come out of all this discussion
My post count has rocketed
Seriously for tomorrow one thing I would ask is that all those that can vote do so - irrespective of what they vote for - as a lot of good men have died over the years giving us this right.
Whatever happens tomorrow things will never be the same
