Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: akenaton Date: 22 Jun 14 - 08:17 PM Dave, I'm getting a bit sick of your parrot like misrepresentation. All folks who live in Scotland are entitled to vote; I am not advocating removing the vote from retired rich English, just remarking on their hypocrisy in moving here, availing themselves of the benefits fought for by Alex Salmond and his government, then vociferously proclaiming that we should all vote against independence. Noo away an' bile yer heid! |

Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: akenaton Date: 22 Jun 14 - 06:35 AM No one is denying that there are huge problems of drug abuse and youth unemployment in deprived areas of Scotland, but these problems are ALL historic and can be laid at the door of successive Westminster governments, both Labour and Conservative. We will NEVER be able to tackle these very real problems, until we have complete control of our own affairs and can work out our own priorities. A "NO" vote is a vote for a status quo, which is more of the "medicine" Westminster has been doling out for decades. I agree with Jock, if you are happy with YOUR country as it is, butt out and allow us to made the decisions which concern US. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Musket Date: 22 Jun 14 - 05:46 AM Aye, its quite capable of its own malaise. Public health statistics that would make a third world country blush, government riding roughshod over public concern when it comes to oil barons and Americans wanting more gold courses and an unhealthy set of entries in most and least affluent council wards in The UK. A couple of Tories will still own Scotland between them, regardless of the outcome. All thanks to SNP and Labour taking turns in running Scottish affairs. Tell you what, Cameron and his lot may not be my cup of tea either, but I shall happily let them off the hook when Salmond stands in a run down council estate in Dundee and tells them they never had it so good... It was hilarious when the camera panned to a bloke looking round at the broken windows, dog shit and burned out cars whilst he was speaking about their successful economy. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Big Al Whittle Date: 22 Jun 14 - 12:07 AM yeh.... abit nothing compared to the highland clearances though.....! we won't move because my wife asked to retire here on the south coast - but if Scotland went independent, and it was my choice entirely. I would move there. I think tory government is a blight on the country - its like recurring nightmare. I t just never occurs to them to develop the rest of the country apart from the south east where all their constituencies are. its okay I suppose if you're in with the fast set, but theres all kinds of really bad shit happening - because the rest of the country is not getting its fair share of jobs and economic development. the dependence on low wage immigrants, the obscene property prices around the capital, the drug culture and the people living on the streets - which previous to Thatcher were completely unknown in this country - its all a consequence of the grab it now culture. Scotland has been treated shamefully. if it has a chance to break free from the malaise that grips the rest of this poor country - i'd say go for it! |

Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 20 Jun 14 - 01:27 PM Salmond's position is that his first preference would be a formal shared currency. The advisors to the Scottish parliament which included two Nobel Laureates in economics suggested it would be beneficial for both Scotland and the rUK though they gave other options too. So of course others may disagree but it isn't the fairytale thinking that some would suggest. Initially the thought was that Salmond was just thinking of it as a stepping stone. Kirsty Wark on Newsnight tried to get him to suggest he'd commit to it for at least 40 years which he refused to be drawn into it. When the unionist parties came out with the "it's not going to happen" without really any apparent consultation some in the Yes campaign suggested it was a campaign strategy more than a serious response to the idea and that it would at least be discussed should there be a Yes vote. The No campaigns problem though is that they've thought various things, including this one, were game changers but of course they haven't been. The main driving force is that many people feel that only controlling our own destiny will in the long run enable us to build the type of society and nation we want - so despite the barage of "we love you but wouldn't work with you" coming from Westminster the polls have still been closing. Of course should there be a currency union then financially Scotland would be constrained by economic rules etc and they would have only a voice on the BofE and wouldn't control much - but of course at the moment we have no control anyway and the Scottish gvt has no voice. Many people feel that the big matters are being controlled by a gvt which has no real mandate to do so. On many other matters an independent Scotland would have far more control over its destiny than it has at the moment. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Musket Date: 20 Jun 14 - 11:18 AM I wouldn't bother anyway if I were you.

Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Musket Date: 20 Jun 14 - 08:23 AM The people of the UK do not wish their interest rates to be set on Scotland's risk and exposure with no method of controlling Scotland. The people of Scotland do not wish interest rates to carry on being set by The UK with no way of influencing them, should the yes vote carry. Find a friend to explain it to you. There are some Scots with such intelligence. Adam Smith put his willy about, I am told. If Allan or anyone else with intelligence and considering how they will vote can explain how an independent Scotland will be free of the UK when Salmond speaks of negotiating having the structures with none of the say, I'd be genuinely obliged. I cannot begin to understand the logic beyond the aurora of nationalism and short term politics. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: akenaton Date: 20 Jun 14 - 08:13 AM I also agree Mr T, it would be nice if everything was down on paper, signed and sealed, but that is not the way it works when there are politicians involved. All the issues you mention, monetary union, EU membership(I hope not),the property scam, Where we stick England's nukes etc, will sort themselves out in ALL our interests after the referendum vote. However, at the moment it is in the interests of Westminster to be as divisive and as negative as possible, although they know very well that Monetary Union is in BOTH our interests they just cannot say it, they are playing "politics". Trade with England will go on as usual, as they know very well it is in BOTH our interests. We need inspiration, we have a strong sense of National identity, but we are failing a whole generation who lost their jobs and theirs heart when our manufacturing industries evaporated....and I don't blame Mrs Thatcher for that totally, I am not an idiotic ideologue like Ian. The children of these hopeless people now exist on benefit handouts in "sinks" all over Scotland.....To the shame of successive Westminster governments YES! for Scotland, and YES to our blighted young people! |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 20 Jun 14 - 08:02 AM Ake I know many English people living in Scotland and yes some (like my wife) are definite No whilst others are definite Yes. The point is though that they make their decision as they wish. It is a free democratic choice. And undoubtedly it doesn't all come down to finance etc. It could be argued that some Scots are drawn to the Yes camp for the emotional pull it has - just as some English born people may be emotionally pulled towards the union. However it does no good to break the figures down too much and almost start laying the blame. Besides we all know from the polls who the Yes camp have to persuade and it is Scottish women whatever their origins. Some polls have shown a male majority for independence but the female vote (for some reason) is well behind. We aren't going to badger and bully our wives, mothers and daughters because they don't agree with us are we? So why should we badger our English born neighbours! We can't say we are welcoming to everyone regardless of origins etc if we are only going to be welcoming if they agree with our views! I also don't agree with this idea that elderly English people come here for the benefits. In the Borders we have a lot of English incomers and yes some have moved here once they are retired. Generally it is because they've loved coming to Scotland on holiday so decided to retire here. Places like the Highlands and Borders have more English incomers because they are nice rural places to live out your retirement. The Borders of course being the handiest place for visits back south or visitors from down south! And sorry yes holiday homes is a problem in places like here but again you can't blame it on the English. Kirk Yetholm seems to be particularly full of holiday homes but as far as I can see the owners are as likely to come from Edinburgh as anywhere else. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Musket Date: 20 Jun 14 - 07:34 AM I need a drink. Teribus can occasionally speak sense after all. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Teribus Date: 20 Jun 14 - 06:37 AM I can remember stating on this forum that the referendum on Scottish Independence would be mid to late term of the next Parliament ~2015 (IIRC that was in 2007). I was then pulled up on that and was told that the referendum would take place within the term of the sitting Parliament no later than 2010. That being the case you would have thought that had the SNP been serious about the independence issue they would have had all the answers worked out in detail to all the questions on the issues that are of prime importance to the people of Scotland and the electorate of Scotland by the summer of 2009 at the latest. I therefore find it astonishing with less than 90 days to go the YES campaign and the SNP in particular cannot give definite statements on any of the main issues - they simply do not have a clue, they rely on groundless assertions and baseless assumptions. Something like 80% of Scotland's trade is with England and the rest of the United Kingdom - If the vote is YES there will be a massive flight of capital and jobs out of Scotland, and the newly independent Scotland NOT being an EU member state will be at a distinct disadvantage trading with it's largest customer. The vote I think will be NO, but this idiotic divisive waste of time, resources and money, will leave the nation scarred. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Musket Date: 20 Jun 14 - 04:59 AM Do passengers include the nine out of ten households in Scotland who receive more in benefits than they pay in tax? Just wondering... If being a landlord is an issue, you might want to have a quiet word with Dundee Council. That nine out of ten is a bit of a generalisation and caused a bit of an uproar when the Scottish conservative leader claimed it. The reality isn't sparkling all the same... Akenaton's contributors If it isn't fair to moan about people who rely on the state, (and it most certainly isn't) neither is it nice to moan about anybody else. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Dave the Gnome Date: 20 Jun 14 - 04:12 AM In the "new" Scotland, to make a difference we all need to pull our weight....no room for passengers, no matter how many "properties" they have. How many times do I have to say it. My mate has ONE property. The one he lives in. He is turned 65 and after working all his life, paying taxes and saving for his retirement he now enjoys his life in the place he spent a lot of time and money in. Is he a passenger? Does he need to pull his weight? Luckily, no-one has to justify themselves to you and, from experience, I know most of the Scots in the area consider him to be a friend and stalwart of the community. It is also fortunate that no-one on here is stereotyping Scotsmen based on your views... DtG |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: Musket Date: 20 Jun 14 - 03:56 AM Even.... Even who? The people who live in Scotland every bit as much as you do and have the same rights as you? Pathetic. President Alexander I of Salmon farm. Can't wait... Have you noticed how he is trying to attract the pink vote? Something for you to ponder on. Don't forget, if it does lead to a yes majority, The UK will respect it as per the agreement. To come running back later means the rest of us will decide whether or not to have you. To date, the yes campaign seems to be poking fun at politicians on the no camp and claiming Westminster and Brussels will do the exact opposite of what they have said they will do. Currency union with The UK requires the will of The UK. Currency union with The EU means being a member of The EU. (This is The EU by the way whose alcohol ideas in their public health proposals are not exactly music to the ears of those employed in making and exporting whisky.) In reality, there are good reasons to vote either way. Throwing scorn on the no voters shows the narrow nationalistic obscenity that rises to the surface from time to time. Not exactly shocked by who the cheer leader is. |

The problem of housing for our young people is on of the first things we need to sort out. Private rents are disgustingly high, and large houses empty for most of the year is an absolute disgrace. Allan... My son works for "Yes Scotland" and tells me the vote WILL be very close. He also tells me that most of the many English retired in Argyll will definitely vote "NO"....he has knocked on hundreds of doors and works in community care. Even the Asians and Chinese who own the local fast food shops will be voting "YES"... :0) |

Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: GUEST,Musket Date: 20 Jun 14 - 01:27 AM If you are voting on the basis of free prescriptions and tuition fees, you'll be voting to remain being subsidised from Westminster then.

Regardless of whose currency controls it is bound to with no say in the matter. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 19 Jun 14 - 07:04 PM To qualify for a vote someone would need to be resident in Scotland by 2nd Sep at the latest and of course get themselves registered. There's no saying what it'll be like after the vote. If it is a Yes then I think there will be massive parties and celebrations. If it is No then I think it will be a stranger atmosphere. The No campaigners will be more relieved than anything else and the Yes people will be totally dejected. Can't imagine many street parties etc. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: GUEST,achmelvich Date: 19 Jun 14 - 06:55 PM we just booked into an apartment in glasgow for the independence day vote and party. can we get registered to vote (vote Aye!) as we will be living there on the day? though we stay in cumbria we have many connections and 3 scots children living there. of course the scots should go for it and it would be an example to those of us in the north and elsewhere that austerity/global capitalism/ tories do not have to rule forever and hopefully encourage us to demand somethig better for ourselves. |
Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 19 Jun 14 - 06:30 PM Ake everyone in Scotland has a vote and everyone's opinion is relevant. An English incomer has as much right to vote No as a home grown Scot has. We could equally take a swipe at women saying they are happy to use free prescriptions yet vote No. You simply can't break things down like that. All people want the best for the country they just disagree on how best to achieve that! Besides seemingly about a third of of English incomers support independence anyway - so it isn't really correct to depict them all as unionists. For Scottish votes to make the difference in a UK general election the election itself needs to be really close - likewise for the English vote to make a difference in the referendum the vote itself would need to be very close anyway!! |
