Suff, if you had been fortunate, if that's the right word, to have seen it you would know why the vote went 70:30 to Salmond, and it had nothing to do with him being good.

Darling was dire, worse than dire: hopeless.

I read that Brown is going around hoping to change the trend. I wouldn't think the Scots will welcome him with his dismal record when in power.

Sorry poll, I have always wanted the Scots to vote "No" because I do not want to witness the break up of the greatest union the world has ever seen.

However, if the vote is "Yes" why should rUK open its doors to "No" voters?

You have had plenty of time to make your case and if you fail you should have to make the most of the result, without the option of running away. Maybe that should have been made clear right from the start of this fiasco.

If it is a Yes vote, I just hope the North Sea oil will run out quickly.

Poll you can come and live near me any time :) That's a tad harsh WM, on the No voters! Not their fault if it goes to Yes..............

Kaz, I was not meaning for it to be harsh, especially not to Poll, but if it is the case that it was taken personally then I hereby apologise to Poll unreservedly.

What I was trying to say is that it should have been made clear from the very start that if Scotland voted "Yes" and it later went pear-shaped, as it could well do, there would not be the option of simply upping sticks and walking away. Scotland would be an independent country and its citizens would be Scottish citizens and should be prepared and expected to do their best and work for Scotland.

I switched it on, then I turned the sound down, and then I switched it off. Alex Salmond comes across as a bully. I have always wanted Scotland to stay within the UK, but if they want to go there's nothing to be done about it. Whether they will be better off, we will find this out in time.

Poll


But there lies another question……Scotland would no longer be in the EU so will we Scots have the right to work in England?
