How many pounds sterling?
That's the lynchpin of the 'No' argument and I don't blame them.You'd expect there to be a detailed plan regarding Scottish independence I have yet to see one. Does anyone know if it exists?
There has been talk that immigration laws would have to be loosened in Scotland to help with that, but this could just be scaremongering at this stage. It would certainly throw up some border security issues if it were the case as suddenly the UK would have a physical border with a country with different immigration laws - possibly a non-EU country too.I also hadn't realised how small the population of Scotland is. I'm sure the English may expect Scotland to be fully self-sufficient, is that feasible with such a small population?

At what point does looking after your own interests stop being a geographical thing?
When you want to trade and interact with a wider community beyond tribal geographic borders, I guess.
Good luck.I'm going to head home shortly - buy some beers and some food, and then go to my bed for a few hours... will get up about 10-11 pm and then watch the results programme through the night - I think it will be something of a rollercoaster ride.
Some of my work colleagues honestly believe that a No vote will result in widespread trouble - I have to say, I think there will be some, possibly directed at the BBC - since they have already been subjected to protests at perceived bias (see the discussion of the Nick Robinson thing earlier in this thread - that is what sparked the protest, even though it was largely unjustified, but never mind).
There will be plenty of people in a very bad mood tomorrow - a Yes win will spark wild celebrations and No voters are likely to react with dismay and worry, and some Unionist elements in Glasgow might resort to trouble. A No win, however, will probably be met with relief rather than joy from the No voters, and muted celebrations on a much smaller scale - but pro-independence campaigners are likely to be distraught, and a large number will be very angry as well... I guess that is what happens when the nationalist pot is stirred, coupled with promises (some more realistic than others) of a 'better nation'.
It's going to get interesting.

A few thousand votes could easily tip the scales in someone's favour.It's a tench situation, I guess the voters need time to mullet over. I was going to tuna in tonight to see the results start coming in.
This has to stop or I will message a cod.
