Are you honestly saying that this guy is a NAZI?? You really have run out of argument.

Seems to run in the No camp.
From The Scotsman 14th August

"Ms Hama reportedly wrote a Tweet to Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in 2012 which read: “u will like borgen...german...#snp nazis ring a bell :)”. Ms Hama’s Twitter account has since been deactivated or deleted.


A piece written by Hama for the Better Together website, entitled ‘Why I’m Saying No Thanks’, was subsequently removed from the campaign website."

As I've said previously there's bad on both sides!
 
Well I did four hours outside a polling station. No voters were definately not wanting to have any badges etc and spoke of feeling intimidated. Certainly I in four hours have had more anti English sentiment than I have in the 15 years I have lived up here.

It'll get worse tomorrow when they don't get what they want.

My experience exactly.
But not limited to anti English mate, it's anyone whose not with them.
Apparently it's unpatriotic to have a different opinion.
 
What is Scotland?
Scotland, with little more than 5 million people, is one of the oldest countries in the world, having been united as a single nation by King Kenneth MacAlpin in the year 843. It remained an independent state for more than 800 years until the formation of Great Britain in 1707.
When did it merge with Britain?
When England found itself at war with France in the early 18th century, fears that Scotland would side with the enemy prompted London to block trade and deprive Scots of property they owned south of the border, unless they agreed to create a single country. After much debate — and widespread Scottish hostility — both the Scottish and English parliaments were dissolved on May 1, 1707 and replaced with a new British one.
 
IF Scotland votes YES will Wasteminster MP's take a pay cut due to the land mass they work for being greatly reduced?

Politicians don't represent land they represent people. I'd settle to pay them more, abolish the expenses racket and halve their numbers.

The act of Union was a Scottish idea proposed by King James, your Scottish King James. And at the time a pragmatic and sensible one that brought 300 years of peace and prosperity.
 
Nothing to do with Scotland bankrupting itself and needing bailing out then gubrath?

Ah Mike, if you know the truth and all of the subterfuge behind the Darien disaster you know exactly why the bankruptcy happened. Foolhardy and desperate the venture may have been but the lies upon which the investment was founded were lies fed to us. In those days we couldn't check things so quickly and easily as we can now.

Let me guess; it was a Tory conspiracy, perchance?
 
Actually no it wasn't a Tory conspiracy. At the time it was a foolhardy venture which was ill equipped but the fact that King William blockaded Scots ships from resupplying the project and would not allow other nations to trade or help the venture kinda sealed its fate.

Did you know that Mathematics would not exist in an independent Scotland this was announced by Alex Salmond today when he outlined more of his plans for the country in the event of a Yes vote. The shock announcement came after the SNP realised that none of the figures they were quoting actually made any sense. Instead, schoolchildren will be educated in a kind of black magic called Eckonomics, where you simply put your entire beliefs in what one person says, no matter if it's correct or not. "Who needs things to add up when you can just pretend that they will. Trust me, it'll be fine." It has also been announced that each child in Scotland would receive a 'Magic Independence Wand', capable of many wondrous things. The wands are to be made from old girders and it is believed that with one swoosh, Socialism will appear. Other tricks include turning bad politicians magically into really nice ones and creating an oil fund that wouldn't be required to balance the books."Who needs J K Rowling's support? We'll all be wizards and witches in an independent Scotland," cackled Salmond.:D
