Ponies are effete affectations of the bourgoisie.  Political correctness gone mad.  We want mini-dinosaurs and we cannot lie.

I'll ask everyone I know to vote Yes because I want miniature dinosaurs. (Rather than asking them to vote Yes because I believe it's an opportunity for a more progressive and socially democratic nation which better suits the needs of the people, like I've been doing just now).

I am entirely for 'Yes' for all of the reasons you said. Unfortunately you'll saddle us with a permanent Tory government. So fuck you.

That's my issue with this independence thing. Love them to vote Yes for their own benefit but it fucks us when it comes to our parliament.

Still, it'll be our own fault. Referendum for Northern independence tbh.

Yeah, sorry about that. Unfortunately, I think you'll get a Tory government regardless of what happens in Scotland.

Makes me wonder why the hell Cameron is opposing independence from the whinging Scots. Surely it would help the Tories.

Might personally secede and join Scotland.

You'll probably find that more effective.

Personally I'm voting yes just so that Andy Murray can be Scottish when he wins, too.

Because he needs the income from Scotland. And all his mates need the oil contracts.

Hang it from the lamp-post!  Or send it to plough (yj) on a collective farm.

I don't think it would be tenderised significantly by hanging TBH

Don't get us started on the oil, Nigel, or we'll never be done. In the last few weeks we've been told:
  • The oil is running out, and this is a disaster for the Yes campaign.
  • The oil is running out, and this is a disaster for the No campaign.
  • The oil isn't running out, and this is a disaster for the Yes campaign.
  • The oil isn't running out, and this is a disaster for the No campaign.
  • There are vast untapped oil reserves yet to be exploited and this is great for the UK.
  • There are vast untapped oil reserves yet to be exploited and this is a complete and utter disaster for an independent Scotland because we won't be able to cope with it.
As far as I can see, we've got a great source of renewable energy in the form of hot air blasting from both camps.

I wouldn't mind someone explaining why they think the Pound is a UK asset and should be shared between both countries but the oil only belongs to Scotland.

It's the law.

Given that Scotland is not a sovereign state, it has no effective maritime boundaries; and any claims Scotland may assert are subsumed as part of claims made by the United Kingdom. It could be argued that there is no definitive 'Scottish' sector of the North Sea in the same way there isn't a Norwegian sector or a Danish sector, or indeed a UK sector. However due to the existence of two separate legal systems in Great Britain — that of Scots law pertaining to Scotland and English law pertaining to England and Wales, constitutional law in the United Kingdom has provided for the division of the UK sector of the North Sea into specific Scottish and English components.[5] The Continental Shelf Act 1964 and the Continental Shelf (Jurisdiction) Order 1968 defines the UK North Sea maritime area to the north of latitude 55 degrees north as being under the jurisdiction of Scots law[6] meaning that 90% of the UK's oil resources were under Scottish jurisdiction.[7][8] In addition, section 126 of the Scotland Act 1998 defines Scottish waters as the internal waters and territorial sea of the United Kingdom as are adjacent to Scotland.[9] This has been subsequently amended by the Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundary Order 1999 which redefined the extent of Scottish waters and Scottish fishery limits.[10][11]

Would you like Cornwall to keep the pound?

Using the pound in a currency union is their preferred option simply because it works better for both parties. Scotland gets a stable, well-backed currency with debt capacity and the UK gets Scotland to pay its share of that debt. It's not like they'd demanding we share it, just that it'd be *fucking idiotic* of the UK to refuse.
