I do too. Good luck in London mate, watch out - prices ain't skimpy there.


Trust me, I know. The £60k of uni debt awaiting me attests to that already. Ew.

I wish I were following the issues of Scottish/English relations (and even Irish/English relations) more closely.


No, you don't - if you care even a tiny bit you just end up getting dragged into arguments about it all the time. Literally the only thing anyone knows about Scotland anywhere else boils down to Braveheart and the IndyRef, so you can't even imagine the amount of times I had to discuss it when I was away. Although we did meet one guy who thought Scotland was near Austria.

All of those tiny little countries in Europe are near each other. Scotland to Austria is the equivalent distance from where I am right now to Vancouver.

So imagine that you're Calvin. You want to buy a crapload of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.



Just so.

Now you make up a significant portion of your family (the UK), but your parents (Westminster) pretty much have the final say on what food you buy. You don't think that's fair because, as a significant portion of the household, what you want should have proportional weight in the conversation. But it doesn't, because your parents are your parents.

So you hire Hobbes to be your lawyer and sue your parents for emancipation, with the intention of seceding from the family and living in your No Girls Allowed tree fort. If you do this, you can have as much Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs as you want.

Most people don't support you because they aren't confident in your ability to provide for yourself and be successful as an independent individual, but you have faith in yourself and your parents aren't budging on the Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bomb issue.

And that's the Scottish Independence Movement.

Well done, you have a big country, have a sticker. This guy was Turkish, though. He should really know better, it's far closer to home.

I wonder if any Rangers fans will be voting 'Yes', or any Celtic fans will be voting 'No'.

And the polls put no back in the lead again. Seems that one was an anomaly? We had one like it before a few years back.

I wonder if one of Salmonds underlings threat of a "Day of reckoning" on No voters had anything to do with that. Or all the money flowing out... Or the businesses planning to leave?
We've seen but a taste of what is to come with a Yes Vote. And not just in Scotland. Anyone who thinks this won't hit all us Brits, and hit us all hard, is either in denial or being arrogant.

Still less than a week now. I pray to god its a no vote, I'd be crestfallen if Scotland left us. My country would loss 33% of the land and 10% of its economy, to be sure, but what would really be gone is something you cant really value: The Scottish people.

How could my country continue to claim to be "British" without the Scots? Only through England and Scotland can the UK and "British" exist (Wales too, but they were part of England at the time) Only through this Union of the two have they projected change onto the world. A lot of which was good change, changes everyone but the most despicable of people can support. The abolition of slavery, the protection of Europe from the grips of nazi thugs, the protection of the Falklands will from Argentinian dictators, to name but a few. Through this Union, we can continue to project good onto the world. Without it, I fear these islands may slip into irrelevance, and with it a pillar of crumbling Europe torn away. We were on the road to recovery. Supposedly on road to over taking France. We were resurging. When we are all recovering, why would Scotland wish to turn around and plunge not only themselves, but us too back into the pit of economic disaster?

Look to Ireland, to Iceland. Were they not part of Salmonds "Arc of prosperity"? Now they are bankrupt, unable to fall back on another power for safety. Where would Scotland be if it was independent in 2008? Bankrupt, with no one to fall back on for safety.

If anyone thought the recession we are barely climbing out of was bad, the one resulting from a split at such a fragile time will be hell on Earth.

This union isn't about dominance, its about safety and security. The safety and security the members of the UK provide to each other. Its about Unity over Division. Are we in tough times? Hell yes, we saw a recession that hit us all hard, but awful things happen and we're battling our way forwards.

Something I've been finding hilarious is the yes party saying. "The no's are being to negative." What are they gonna do? Say Independence is a great idea?
