Givvus a pooond, Jimmy !!

Alex Salmond was lying his fat head off, when he said that the English would want to share a currency with him.

Now all three possible next prime ministers have ruled it out, he's calling THEM liars. And bullies.
Because they want something different to him.

Better get used to it Alex. When Scotland is on it's own, people will only help, if it suits THEM. Not because it suits you.
Is he still living with his parents? When you leave home, in this case, you're on your own.

There is one element of dishonesty lurking in this situation though.
As members of the EU, Scots can just move to England, if Scotland fucks it up.
But don't be too sure, because UKIP or the Tories might take us out of the EU, and that option might disappear.

[Svartalf]

Lol, the UK benefits too much from being in EU to get out... and if they don't get to share the Strling, the Scots, I bet, will get fast tracked into the Euro, at least if they manage to get the North sea oil fields they covet... which itself is doubtful, maybe Scotland will be a poor country and have to wait for years to be formally recognized as a EU member because we don't need yet another sponge.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[Clinton Huxley]

Well, it's in the interests of the Scotch fundamentalists to make up on any shit, it really doesn't matter. Say anything, if it convinces one voter it was worth it. They only have one aim and once Scotland leaves the Union, it ain't ever coming back and they've "won". Doesn't matter if it all turns out to have have been unalloyed bullshit AFTER the referendum.

[mistermack]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

You WILL be laughing after the vote. Today's odds : 3.5 to 1 against a win for fat Alex.
So if you bet £100, you'll make £350 profit.
But shit, if you bet £1,000 you'll be £3,500 richer.
But, just a cotton-pickin minute, if you bet ten grand, you'll make nearly a years wages.

Those bookies are in for a real caning. They must be mad.

Very good point.
I hope nobody tells fat Alex. He might start telling porky pies.

Damn those infallible bookies!

Like in 2011 months before the Holyrood election when Labour were way ahead in the polls, and the bookies agreed. What happened a few weeks later ...? I can't remember.

Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame,
Fareweel our ancient glory;
Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name,
Sae fam'd in martial story.
Now Sark rins over Solway sands,
An' Tweed rins to the ocean,
To mark where England's province stands-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro' many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitor's wages.
The English stell we could disdain,
Secure in valour's station;
But English gold has been our bane-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

O would, or I had seen the day
That Treason thus could sell us,
My auld grey head had lien in clay,
Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace!
But pith and power, till my last hour,
I'll mak this declaration;
We're bought and sold for English gold-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

[Clinton Huxley]

Well, they still have plenty of rogues.

[Rum]

If you look at Alex Salmond's midriff you will notice he is a man who likes to have his cake and eat it.

after having an Englishman pay for it...

[JimC]

Well, they still have plenty of rogues.

Ah, I think you'll find it's the English are the rogues, the Scots are blameless angels...

I should imagine per capita roguery is broadly equivalent...

[JimC]

Actually, you may have reduced the % a little by sending lots and lots to Oz...

[Svartalf]

Well, they still have plenty of rogues.

a whole parcel in the nation.
