  1. It is the opposite because I want to live in a country which is both fairer and more equal. I don't want a country ruled by Tories and a small elite who answer to the city of Londen.
  2. But you said your vote was based on dislike of Salmond and Strurgeon. You then went on to say disliked Cameron, Darling etc just as much. You can call me silly if you want but I don't get your logic?
  3. Haha. Being a fellow Saintee I feel for you. Although you know that as far as independence goes he is spot on.
  4. How can you then vote No if you mistrust them equally. Surely your logic would make you a don't know?
  5. Great stuff. Beattie sounds stunned by the passion and logic of both Cosgrove and the journalist.
  6. Interested to know why you would presumably trust Cameron ,Darling,Brown etc before Salmond and Sturgeon.
  7. Newsnet Scotland have an article on RBS and have started a petition regarding a Scottish desire for it's own broadcaster. Have just signed up. Would provide a link but sadly don't know how to this on my tablet (old codger dyndrome)
  8. Haha you beat me to it by a couple of mins.
  9. Oh I wonder if the BBC will report this?
  10. Read 2nd paragraph of Denzil's post 567.
  11. It won't have one party and it's called democracy.
  12. Scotland needs skilled migrants. Pretty much everyone agrees. However to suggest we wouldn't have proper immigration controls is crazy.
  13. Totally agree. Regardless of next Thursday's vote Scotland badly needs it's own broadcaster which sees the world from a Scottish viewpoint and presents news in a fair and balanced way, As an example,of BBC reporting, the name Ian Wood is trotted out ad nausea . A man who has conveniently changed his story in recent months over oil reserves in the North Sea. Other experts are aviailable (eg Prof Kemp an oil economist) but the BBC rarely mentions them.
  14. I went for the jugular? Look at my quote above. I praise both sides conduct. I merely point out that the Unionist press and Jim Murphy have tried to create a very different picture. There are incidents of abuse on the BOTH sides but they have been very much in the minority. Some of the rubbish that the likes of the Mail have printed have been appalling.
  15. Don't see it myself. Conduct on both sides of the debate has been excellent with only the Unionist press and Jim Murphy in particular trying to paint a different picture. I think their evidence boils down to one egg.(Pun intended)
  16. I would suggest the only chance of a socialist Govt is in an independent Scotland. The British Labour party is to the right of the SNP. I would expect in an independent Scotland a new Scottish Labour party would emerge with proper left wing values. Your head and heart should say Yes.
  17. Great news. I'm not one of lives optimists but even I'm starting to think we can do it. For the first time in my life you get a sense that people are getting excited by politcs. People are starting to think that they can make a difference.
  18. Big yes for me. Claims on here that a vote for Yes is a vote for Salmond. Not true. You can vote for whoever you want in the 2016 Holyrood election. Churchill delivered a WW2 victory but lost the first general election after the war. If it is a Yes vote Salmond will undoubtedly have helped to win the day but you can vote for whoever you want in 2016. A decent Scottish Labour party would have a good chance of victory.
  19. Reckon he must have spent the summer in the gym. Looks stronger to me.
  20. Excellent performance today. Only criticism (and I mean only!) was that Macca looked isolated at times. He needs help but in Tommy we trust. As for Aberdeen McInnes has done an excellent job in coaching them in the art of tackling at head height.
  21. Went for Macca for his workrate,hold up play and goal. Chris Millar a very close second. He is having a great season. Seems stronger this season and is winning far more 50/50s. Reckon he's been in the gym over the summer. Get Muzz fit and they will be as good as any midfield pair in the league.
  22. Good to see Tommy looking more upbeat. Wonder if he considers the ice bucket challenge as being part of Muzz's rehab?
