Well, the headquarters is where the majority of tax is payed.


Actually utterly and completely false. Did you know RBS is also in england? Did you know that despite RBS's headquarters being in scotland, England got the tax of the economic activity n England? Why, would it be any different now? The HQ isn't even open to the public, it's the bank behind their chain branch, not a single dollar is placed their directly by their people, it's all just legislation and business meeting. Where it decides to go is irrelevant, RBS's problem isn't the lacking economic power an independent scotland, rather BBC going against regulation which brought a shock in stock prices in hours before RBS can take action

As for everything else you said, scotland wants a lot of changes unanimously, but we're not given the Max Devolution vote. Some of us now don't want a thing to do with westminister, and i'm one of them. They don't represent us, and they've never wanted to unless they felt they had to.

Scotland will have some teething issues i'm sure, and England will have a large blow to them too. But the money thrown back into the countries will be placed into the flow of people more across the north and south capitals, it will be a more beneficial economic model for both scotland, and anyone north of london. We shouldn't have to justify our economics any more, a strong case has been made for it, stronger than the vast countries in europe if they had to face a split. Things like being allowed in the EU when w'ell be more productive than france by their calculations, sharing the pound even though we can do it without their consent and also having other options like the Euro and our own currency anyway, when the first option will entirely be made anyway on accounts to england not being an idiot to losing economic trade with scotland and allowing us off with no debt. And this ridiculous idea that separation with cause harm to the economy for good, even though changes in the economic will happen regardless of our economic situation, and that we're more than easily able to bounce back from it.

It's just...silly to think that this is going to end in all doom and gloom. If we vote for independence on thursday, i'll miss england, I love the people there dearly, I have family that are english, and friends that are english, but I won't miss westminister, because despite being voted in, neither labour or conservatives in Westminster represent the honest workers of scotland, or england.

Oh shit.There goes the money again, I was hoping we could spend the last few days up to the vote without the news yelling about the devaluing pound and billions of pounds leaving Britain.Sigh, here we go again...


You realize changing the headquarters has no effect to the economic activity of the country right? Only reason prices go down is because BBC went against regulation by posting sensitive financial market material before the starting work day that these things can be regulated with, RBS then had to confirm a statement to protect their shares. Nothing more happened, the economy isn't going to crumble, everything is fine. :>

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.


Um no because that kid has oil in his tree house so go fuck yourself, he has all the ChocoFrost SugSug B's he wants (that's what the hip, edgy trending yes voters call them. #YouOnlyRefOnce)

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


Wait wait wait, so it's not Austria we're breaking away from?
I'll sum it up. All the cool edgy people in scotland are voting yes, and all the lame squares who don't even lift are voting no.

It was contempt, more than anger or anything, last time - mainly because I'm being subjected to an awful lot of uninformed codswallop on my News Feed right now (by which I don't mean anything "Yes"-related, I mean people who just have no idea what they're talking about.) Also - without a balancing, alternate view, any representation of the situation may as well be propaganda, as folk here mostly live abroad and don't necessarily know enough about the issue to form their own opinion. Anyway, I wouldn't say "excited". What happens will happen; I'm moving to London in three weeks, it won't affect me directly quite as much as if I were staying in Edinburgh. I just hope the Scottish people make the right decision.


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

See, this is exactly what I mean. Something negative about independence? Immediately completely dismissed as scare-tactics and lies, as some conspiracy on the part of Westminster. "Cameron forced them to say that. It's lies. Don't listen to anything negative, guys, don't think about it, ignore the experts!" Jesus.And I'm not laughing at the idea of the suffering of the Scottish people. In my view, anything that discourages independence is benefiting them. I'm laughing because of the blow to the Yes campaign, which I'm averse to on multiple levels, and because of Salmond's complete incompetence in dealing with the setback.


Aw dangit, I was wanting you to go nuts again. ;D

And no, it was a tip off by the treasury.

3 days to go, excited?
