And yes WARMAIR...'Canny' they may be, but they're also very belligerent Trade Unionist's, some even on the periphery of communism ? In my 'personal' opinion, never trust a Scot !

Things are looking quite interesting in Scotland.

According to articles found on the web - Yes and
No votes are now running neck and neck so it looks
like being a close call. One article suggests that
trust in their politicians could prove crucial as
the referendum campaign reaches its climax.

According to a recent poll it seems that Yes campaign
leaders are trusted a bit more than those on the No
side to deliver for Scotland. But things can change.

Questions that are being asked are - Will the No
campaign leaders put the interests of the Westminister
Establishment ahead of the people of Scotland?
Will the Yes campaign leaders always put Scotland
first?

Which of them can really be trusted to stand up for
Scotland's interests?

The Scottish communist party has 280 members out of a population of 5,254,800. I just don't think they are relevant.

The brief time I spent in Scotland I thoroughly enjoyed and was treated with much more courtesy than I received in England where I was abused on two occasions for no good reason other than I had an Aussie accent.

When the polls are close one way to get an idea as to which way it will go is to look up the odds being quoted by the betting agencies which strongly favour the no vote.

It is clear that the UK government is seriously ratelled by the possibialty that the Scots might vote for independence. It looks to me that Scots will do well whatever the outcome.

Scotland is interesting for the mob politics being played there. We get the same, with sometimes quite irrational and even totally misrepresented and fraudulent views being championed by the clever, sinister types who use Marxist strategies to sway public opinion (of the mob at least).

It is only the freedom of speech that is so opposed by the Left 'Progressive' cultism and time for the fraud and negative consequences to be exposed, that can counteract the gathering storm.

I have no stake in what happens there, however if I had any investments in Scotland I would be demanding a premium for the risks of the untried separatism. More likely I would be working hard right now to move the investment $$ elsewhere and well away from any impact.

It is good to watch the fostering and management of the mob from a distance, any voices of reason being drowned out by the mobbing by noisy protesters who seemingly spring up spur of the moment, but are cleverly organised by serial nuisances with mobile phones.

For years, Scotland has had too many people on the dole, especially the large rump who now have a family history of dependence on government. The forecast of the Deutsche Bank and others is that 'Scottish independence would bring austerity on a scale never seen before'. The hipster left trendies who organised the mobs will not be there to admit fault and pick up the pieces.

WARMAIR,
Lets get some facts right,
1.Anas Sawar is deputy Leader Of the Scottish labour Party,He therefore is one of the leading supporters for the Yes Vote.
2.Only you mentioned that he was not a Radical Jihardist,Calling somebody a Muslim does not imply they are radical jihardist,unless you know more than me.
The relevance to the referendum is that the Muslim religion will replace Christianity in Scotland quicker than any other state in Europe.As the base population is barely 5 million and the expected immigration of Muslims will be accelerated after independence.
3.Oil revenue has been used to benefit Scotland.New Towns,Roads,Prisons,and the rebuilding of Slums.
4. Yes, every population in a developed country ages.This century people have lived longer,So What! get used to it.You do not expect that immigrants will help pay taxes to pay pensions,they bring their elderly relatives who get on the benefit ride.
5. Smart people exist everywhere.A canny investment fund to one might be a scam to another.
6. for a person who is not concerned for the result, your BS reference means you have some desire that the Yes vote wins.

Of all the people in the UK you could choose to pick on as dole bludgers the Scottish are worst choice, as they have the best employment figures in the UK which by the way happens to be 6.4% which is better than some Australian states.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-27406616

Should the Scots decide to go it alone they have got some 24 billion barrels of oil equivalent to fall back, to share between just 5 million people, that will put them in the top 20 of the world's wealthiest countries. Remind me not to buy shares in Deutsche Bank, their analysis of the situation makes no sense to me.
