Thread Name: BS: scottish independence
Subject: RE: BS: scottish independence
The NO group consists of well heeled pensioners, early retired pen pushers, and Westminster politicians trying to save their jobs and their investment. Personally I care more about providing a viable future for our young people, by providing proper jobs to do, and training to do them.

Scotland is one of the most prosperous countries in the world, but under Westminster rule our wealth goes to waste.

Jobs created at taxpayers expense to keep obsolete weapons of mass destruction on our soil.
Social security payments to keep our youth in poverty instead of providing training or any sort of inspiration.
An obscene wealth gap between rich and poor, which should be narrowed dramatically( hint Ian, that's what REAL equality is about, but I never hear YOU pushing it.)

I think I know Alex Salmond a little better than you Ian, having met and talked with him several times, away from a political setting.

He is a supreme politician who knows what to say and when to say it to achieve his political objective....which is Independence for Scotland. He has worked wonders to turn a twenty point negative into a 1 point positive in one month.

The new Scotland will have no time for smokescreens.
