Scots SLF

I think you are looking at this from a very pro YES camp, hence "over to MOD = shut down debate

Alex Salmonds big mistake was not getting the rUK to have a say, most are at best are indifferent, whilst a large minority are praying the Scots vote yes, whilst I'm not in this last camp by a long way, i'm really not, the argument runs that the YES camp north of the border are a bunch of bigoted anti English mob and an ungrateful to boot for the stability that being part of the union has brought, good times and bad.

Scotland's demographic is left of centre, hence the hatred of all things Tory and will likely move in a socialist direct post a YES vote, nothing wrong with that, many successful countries such has Norway & Finland have been left of centre for many years, but they have highly educated populations with a good work ethic, very high health standards, i was in Helsinki last week and trying to explain what the attraction of a deep fried Mar's bar was, they didn't get? seriously they thought i was kidding them, of course these Countries have their own social problems with drugs and alcohol.

Its worth remembering that Norway's average wage is 3 times greater than the UK at around $75.000 and probably nearer to 4 time the Scottish average.

Personally I'm indifferent, it really is a matter for the Scottish people and I'm sure that James Bond's endorsement will sway many, remind me where he live's? looking forward to Mel Gibson re runs of Braveheart in the weeks to come.

Actually probably is time for the MODS to put this in humour section

Love the smell of fear post LNIDA
