Scotland will get independence, England will get dependence. Dependence on Westminster. Dependence on America, dependence on blood oil.
The world's messed up in lots of different ways. It's gonna take huge changes to try and create a fairer system. It's not gonna be easy, but it's worth a try.
I can think of many reasons why Independence is good for both sides but from Scotland's point of view, where do you think all the excess ammunition was dumped after the first and the second world wars? That stuff still washes up on our beaches.
Having Faslane is wonderful, but who is the number one target for a nuclear strike? Where are Russia and China's nuclear weapons aimed at?
Now bearing in mind Faslane was set up during a time when Nuclear war was deemed as a threat, who and why was the decision made, that it would be OK for Scotland to take the first nuclear hit, should that unimaginable situation arise?
So don't give me that stuff about demographics, we love being who we are and we are no different to anyone else. Just a wee country wanting to look after ourselves and not have to waste money on an elite system with too much bureacracy that wants to flaunt itself as a major player, which i'm afraid it no longer is.
What England is presiding over right now, is the most disastrous administration since Thatcher. It's a puppet administration to take money out the public sector and give it away to the private sector.
It's a system that bleeds money and quite honestly anything would be better. Look at Cameron, Farage, Johnson. these are joke figures as is i gues Salmond to the English. Difference is, Salmond will turn around after this goes through and open up elections whereas Cameron wants to cling to power. English people don't know the first thing about Salmond. But i guess the media power in England is very effective. You only have to look at the sacking of people like Greg Dyke from the BBC to see what path they've went down. It's not a very impartial one, it's dismissive impartiality.
