Tv Debate On Referendum It Is Awful

[gordiescotland1]

Alex Salmond is constantly avoiding answering the questions and all he is doing is quoting he is such an arrogant vile man

[Baldric]

What did you expect?

[gordiescotland1]

I hope to God we dont get independence Im moving back to England if we do He is so horrendous

[Peter Pedant]

so you ' ll be voting yes will you ?

[murraymints]

Self serving, arrogant numpty !

[Baldric]

That's ^^^ no way to talk about Gordie!

[mikey4444]

So Salmond's music hall act isn't going down so well ?

What a surprise !

[maggiebee]

I'm voting YES for independence. I'm not voting for Alex Salmond and I don't hate England or the English. I just think we are perfectly capable of running our own affairs.

[Zacs-Master]

And that's exactly the sort of vote Slamond is hoping for maggie. He has a hidden agenda. Beware!

[naomi24]

maggie, //I just think we are perfectly capable of running our own affairs. //

If the vote goes your way, I only hope you do.

[anneasquith]

zac. what is AS hidden agenda ?

[DaisyNonna]

Calm down gordie. Remember he is a politician and does not know how to answer a straight question with a straight answere.

[craft1948]

I will be very sad if Scotland vote for independence, not for monetary reasons though...........

[EDDIE51]

Exactly what he has done all along. He has no answers, he does not even know what type of 'independence ' he wants, he says 'just vote for it and we will make it up as we go along'.
In particular he can't say what is going to happen about a currency. Despite being told by Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dem leaders, Governor of the Bank of England, financial services authority and all England based banks that it will be impossible to keep the £ in an independent Scotland he just repeats ' it is Scotland's £ as well'

[Quizmonster]

Gordie, are you aware that, if the vote is for independence, one thing that will have to happen once the process starts is that a general election will take place in Scotland. In other words, a vote for independence is not, by definition, a vote for Alex Salmond.
ALL parties will be represented; it may even turn out that the Conservatives, who were at one time a major element in Scottish politics, get in. (Heaven forfend, obviously!)

[weecalf]

darling debate is like someone famously said being attacked by a dead sheep

[Gromit]

// Like being savaged by a dead sheep //

[janbee]

A YES vote would do terrible damage to Scotland. After the initial euphoria, reality will set in and we will be stuck in the past - permanently. Salmond is a VERY dangerous man and obviously hates Scotland and the Scots and wants to take us all backwards in time and leave us there. Maybe he's hoping the sale of Tunnocks teacakes will solve our problems. Beware anyone voting YES, be VERY aware. This is not something we can vote out after 5 years because we don't like it. This is for EVER, for all eternity, and future generations will curse those gullible enough to vote for an Indy Scotland. Yes, we must get rid of Cammy, no doubt about that, but Fat Eck (and his gang of thugs) is not the answer. Far from it. A very grave error will be made if a YES vote wins. A very sad day for Scotland.

[mushroom25]

what I can't understand is the reasoning behind the way some have said they'll vote. as janbee says, the vote could decide they way Scotland will be governed, for generations.

yet some have said they will vote yes to "stick it tae Cameron" - which is nuts, because he won't even be in power 12 months from now.

[mikey4444]

If the Scots do go independent, it will radically alter what is left of the UK, as it might mean permanent Tory rule ! We need those 58 Scottish non-Tory seats at Westminster !

[venator]

Why isn't Cameron pushing for a yes vote?

It would save us in England from a Labour government owned and run by the trade unions...
