As far as I can see, so far I may be the first Scot to post on this very highly emotive, contested, and highly complex issue.
I wonder if Putin would consider having a pop at Alaska/ after all America purchased Alaska some time ago from Russia?
There is a huge volume of media hype on all platforms, press, TV, Radio up here. Question?
How much media coverage is there on this subject in England? living up here, as above we are being saturated by media coverage, politicians on every media corner both Pro and Anti devolution.
My question for now is what coverage is this subject getting in the major English press? Local Press? local media?
As an aside did anyone listen to the radio 4 play last week as regards this subject?
As you can see I have not divulged which way I intend to vote. there was a question made up here that was, should everyone in England be asked to vote as to whether or not to let the Scots go? sub plot as previous posts, should individual Counties be given the same potential to diverge from London centric rule?
Even now many, many years after Mrs M. Thatcher was the PM hundreds of thousands of Scots saw her as the font of all evil in that he Pits closed, external influences, cheap Russian coal? the introduction of the dreaded Poll Tax, a severely HATED tax up here. Many of the heavy industries closed because of cheaper imports from other parts of the globe.
As for what currency, a no brainer, given the degree of [what is now and will be in the future] a trading area the Pound is the only way to go . Does Osborne seriously want to impose a transfer tax on any English supplier sending goods to Scotland?
What about the EU? I for one would really like to know? the present [ Spanish ] PM has stated that Scotland would not be allowed to enter the EU. BUT what about the Bask Country that is seeking devolution from Spain?
I am having a huge degree of difficulty with Cameron's stance that he will not do a TV head to head with Salmon?
Too late to waffle on about this one, despite how big it is?
