Iv been a yes voter from the start, and people are always telling me the same things:

- we will lose all our free stuff! Education, prescriptions etc
- we won't get into the EU
- we will be bankrupt and don't have enough money, how will be survive without handouts!

Well we are going to lose our 'free stuff' staying as part of the UK, the government will continue with their privatisation and this will not stop at the border! So either way there is a chance we will lose it but at least with independence we can try to maintain it.
The UK is not going to be in the EU much longer with UKIP gaining more an more power, and if everyone in Scotland voted no to leaving the EU, it would make little difference as there are more people in London than Scotland so we basically don't have any effect.
And honestly if Westminster gives Scotland so much money then ask yourself why is the David Cameron so desperate to keep us? Surely a financial drain would be better cut off? Scotland is not subsidised and has plenty or resources to become very successful.

I also have to add, I was taught in primary school that oil is going to run out, so this should surely not be news to anyone and is only a bonus for Scotland. But does this mean if we get independence and become a country with oil and nuclear weapons, England is going to invade us and try to start a war?

Seen this today, I like very much

What I don't like is the "No" politicians promising the Scots all sorts of nice things to vote "no". Those nice things will come at the expense of the English, Welsh and Northern Irish.

Once Scotland is independent and thinks it's going to spend all of the oil money, Shetland and Orkney will both be claiming independence from Scotland. There have already been people making noises about this happening. They have lots of the oil in their waters as I understand it. Then Mr Salmond will find the cupboard is once again empty.

We've already seen big business and the markets showing displeasure at the thought of Scotland on its own. Salmond makes lots of noise about how the pound is his to use etc. The fact of the matter is that he will have no control over it. If it suits the UK to put up interest rates, for example, then he will have to live with it. There will not be a currency union - no matter how much he blusters. The subs can be based on the south coast of England if need be so he has little to bargain with there. The oil revenue is nice but you can't run the entire country on it. He will need to join the EU as a new country, no piggy-back ride on the UK's coat tails there. Defence? Well, all of the kit is owned by the UK so he'll have to buy stuff if he wants it - after all, he says that unless he gets his own way he won't cover the Scottish % of the UK debt. Fine, we'll take all of our toys and our defence spending away too then, thanks. No new warship contracts for your shipyards Mr Salmond. The UK can build them in yards south of the wall.

I'm bored with the whole sorry issue and I've had too much of the noisome little man Salmond and his equally unpleasant friends in the SNP front bench. So I say:
"Stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once!"
(Ok, so I borrowed that from the bard - it's an apposite quote, I'm sure you'll agree)

I feel sorry for the Scots who have to live with the result of a "yes" vote.

Don't feel sorry for this Scot mate.....A YES result will do me nicely. Feel sorry for Cameron and those other two losers Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg having to travel back down the road with their tails between there legs after all their grovelling and begging....It was pitiful to witness. Personally I think many people in England are jealous of the fact that Scotland has a chance to disown the shambles that is the British parliament and the clowns who make decisions there.

Do you still want to take advantage of the british NHS. If it is a Yes vote every thing british should stop. No more british banks in Scotland,And move all british companies to south of the border and let the English take the jobs.Do you think the new Scotish Government will be any different from any that we have already had. They all make a hash of it, and so will your new government. were all in it together PPS are you going to charge our Queen rent for Balmoral? itisme

Do you still want to take advantage of the british NHS.

Considering my wife and I have contributed toward it for over forty years....yes. It's as much Scotlands as anyone else's.

There will certainly be no more food banks in Scotland after a YES vote.......that is for sure.

Do you think the new Scotish Government will be any different from any that we have already had. They all make a hash of it, and so will your new government.

Well it will be different for the people of Scotland because for once we will actually get the party we vote for in power for a change. We will run our own finances and be masters of our own destiny. Sure our governments will make a hash of things, no one gets things right all of the time......but they will be our own mistakes, no one elses.

are you going to charge our Queen rent for Balmoral?

Certainly!.............back-dated of course.  2010 RRS TDV6 3.0 Autobiography - Stornoway Grey

I love your everything British should stop remark! that's a spoilt brat attitude, if the whole of the uk built it then they are all entitled to use it. Are you going to put a complete ban of any Aberdeen Angus meat, Scottish wool, Scottish whiskey, Scottish gas and most importantly Scottish water from your life in the event of a yes vote? Might just add
Sir Alexander Fleming Discovered penicillin, he was Scottish so that will have to go on your list of things to ban from England too!

Also let the English people take the jobs is also hilarious, the country is very diverse and what you need is
qualified and experienced people carrying out work not people that are born in one country.

This isn't a fight being Scotland and England, it's scotland leaving the UK (England AND Wales AND Northern Ireland) it annoys me so much have England have managed to make it all about them
