I'm suprised to see the no is ahead of the yes vote, I would have thought that Scotland would be ahead with the yes vote as it would be independence for them at long last,,

I think it is change and fear that prevents people voting yes,, plus the ones in the union will vote no of course but I think it be a a good change for them all in the long run,,have to look at the bigger picture.

I think a lot of Scots are flirting around with the idea of independence but when it comes to it their natural caution will make them vote No. I'd say it will be about 65% - 35% on the day.

If they do vote for independence there will be hell to play on getting them to share in the UK's national debt.

Ah they should be exempt from paying anything towards it if they went yes, unemployment in Scotland is very high and it must be costing the English exchecker millions,.if Scotland voted yes it might take them awhile to get on their feet but make them more independant and they would feel so much pride and I think they would come together more in their communities and be more resourceful,,they have great fisheries,north sea,,oil rigs,wool,agriculture,textiles,

I'm talking about Northern Ireland (no such place as o6c, except in the minds of intellectual giants in the 1916 society).
The public sector in the North is huge.

Wouldn't be just to exempt them completely as they benefitted from it as well as England did.
Good point you made about pride and communities.

Unlike you snowy I'm not a west Bit with a partionist mindset. Why don't you call it (the Statlet, like Gaza & the west bank) what they really are the o6c or be PC. Why do you use a British term? And do you know who interviewed who? I do. Have you any idea about who's in the 1916.. I do. What right have you to try and talk about an article you admit to not having read etc..?


The public sector in the North o6c is huge.


How much do you reckon per capita snwoy...?

Phoenix: How much do you reckon per capita snwoy...?




Woo hoo look at me I can change what someone says in their quote, aren't I the clever boy.

I don't know how much per capita but I do know that the public sector is huge in the North.

I read a previous article you put up by those intellectual giants so I know what they are like.

I call it what it is - Northern Ireland - that is not a British term it's simply the name of the place. Calling it o6c is factually incorrect as it's not occupied in the first place.

Have you whitewashed any slogans on the sides of mountains recently?

But women are so soft and smooth......why would anyone want to watch an awkward, hairy man.....yeuck.

Actually Phoenix thinks I like the man on man stuff, if you disagree with him and you are male he eventually calls you 'gay'.....Lol, like a teenager does

Sell short on UK bank, energy listings & £ - if 'aye' the UK will fall to 7th biggest economy (loss of £34B p/a est)
It costs the Eu taxpayers £\€ to 'administer' NI not the govt !
