Musket, all your arguments are based on weird misplaced beliefs. "Salmond wants all the rules but none of th say" what the he'll does that mean? And where does xenophobia come in? "The Scottish experiment in Utopia planning is based on good will of others". The Scottish people are as hardworking as anyone else and not sitting on their backsides, living off your taxes. We have a sound economy and the old argument that Scotland is too poor and stupid to run itself has beenblown out of the water a long time ago except for those so blind they cannot see. If Cameron and his crew get into Westminster next time, hopefully an independent Scotland will not be part of it. "Scotland's application will be further away" does not make sense.
