RISE NOW AND BE A NATION AGAIN !

If the UK Monarch is 'Head of State', presumably there will be a "Governor-General for Scotland" - with a theoretical power of veto over the Scottish Parliament . . .

How's that going to sit with the proposals ?? :augie.

The best bit about some of the shite being spouted is that someone appears to think that The Herald is still a quality broadsheet, worthy of being quoted. It is far from independent press and rarely worth buying :blast

I don't want the media to force feed opinions to me, I'd prefer to be given an objective view of the facts and I'll make my own mind up :thumb2

You probably want to avoid paying for a subscription to "The Scotsman" as well, then................... :D

I also came to the same conclusion and recently stopped taking the paper after many years of readership it seamed to me to be getting very parochial in its views and outlook

Yes continues on winning path as No camp in-fighting escalates

The No campaign faced renewed criticism from within its own ranks this weekend with senior Tories admitting that Yes is on a path to victory in September's referendum.

Among those voicing concern about the state of the anti-independence campaign are Lynton Crosby, the prime minister's election 'guru', the mayor of London Boris Johnson and former Scottish secretary Lord Forsyth.

The latter publicly attacked both David Cameron and the Labour opposition at Westminster for their 'complacency'.

He told The Sunday Times: "Where is the government? Where is the opposition making the case in the United Kingdom parliament for the United Kingdom?"

According to The Sunday Times, Tory critics are increasingly alarmed by the cross-party anti-independence campaign led by Alistair Darling, admitting it is too negative and lacking in momentum.

Crosby is understood to have described the No campaign as 'feeble', that polls showing the No campaign in front are wrong and that victory for Yes in September is not only possible but likely.

The newspaper quotes a source saying Boris Johnson is among senior Tories who believe the No campaign's relentless negativity is alienating voters, particularly women.

The renewed internal criticism heaped more pressure on David Cameron to reverse his decision to refuse a head-to-head TV debate with Alex Salmond.

Yes Scotland Chief Executive Blair Jenkins said: "This report is confirmation of what we have always said - that against the relentless negativity and 'can't do' attitude of the No campaign, the hope, ambition and confidence of Yes will win through.

"More and more people are coming to Yes because they realise that taking responsibility for our own future and making our own decisions is the best way to achieve a better, fairer and more prosperous nation.

"Even some of our fiercest opponents are beginning to accept that Yes presents a far more attractive case for the future .

Would you like to tell us who you're quoting there?

:rolleyes:
 
You miss my point....all he's done is spouted other peoples opinions. He has yet to give us his. Every single one of his posts is a cutnpaste from the loonies. I could do the same quoting The Daily Telegraph, but my posts would be seen as dis-honest as his, and rightly so. If a decision as important as this is to be made on the basis of half witted inaccurate cartoons, quotes from Australian journos, and the CND agenda, then the nation is doomed!
 
thats quite an accurate picture portraying benefits poaching layabouts breeding like rabbits raising neds who contribute feck all to society & then want everything for nothing while causing mayhem in the shitholes they create.theres a reason their called the broons!
 

Have we become independent overnight without me noticing? We currently have no tuition fees or prescription charges and our pensions are paid just fine. Now Toddy listen carefully I will say this only once (more) Tell us your understanding, not somebody else's of why these current freebies would end if there is a no vote? To help I will give you three options. 1. Fat Eck will take the huff and remove them to punish voters for putting two fingers up to him. 2. The stock markets will crash at the thought of the rest of the UK having to keep Scotland in with it. or 3. Losing the referendum vote means the SNP will also get voted out of power and replaced by a right wing government at the next Scottish assembly elections.

Remember in the voting booth you cannot cut and paste your x on the ballot paper so let us see an understanding of just what thought process has brought you to the conclusion that yes is the right way to vote.
 
If I can quote from the FM's 2014 New Year Message

“It’s a precious thing; to be able to debate and decide our own future through a civic and democratic process. Let’s ensure that the debate over the next nine months is a constructive one – where we respect each other’s views, regardless of how passionately we hold our own.

“Let’s also ensure that we take this chance to think about the sort of country we want Scotland to become.

“Let’s not wake up on the morning of 19 September next year and think to ourselves what might have been. Let’s wake up on that morning filled with hope and expectation – ready to build a just and prosperous nation.

And if I have the link right, you can watch it here.
