There is no oil south of gretna ,Trident would have to be based in England,Labour cannot secure a majority without their Scottish socialist power base .Also remember the disproportionate number of scots in the armed forces

YES! lol Scottish Labour is.
the SNP are winning in almost EVERY poll so far and with less that 6 weeks to the May election, Scottish Labour is feeling the pressure. Scottish Labour is tyring to show the advantages.. what £10- 11 bn from England? get real!
look at what will happen if we, Scotland stay in union - we will be forced to house Europe's tarriest target house - Trident!
not only that but be force to pay our Scottish taxes to have the "privilege" to keep it in the Clyde!
then there North Sea Oil, there is still billion and Billions of SCOTTISH pounds there! all so far being redirect back to...England! what is up with this!!!!
We need independence and the SNP can deliver!
what will it mean? higher council taxes - by 3p AND? if we remain in union it may cost us EVEN MORE!
VOTE SNP!
Not only that - look at the council elections - labour is paying off their council to leave early because the voting system will change for local council elections - meaning MORE SNP COUNCILS and Scottish Labour are running from it knowing they can't win.

They're definitely running scared. But whether Scotland gains independance or not, i don't think much will change for the average English or Scot. In 2, 5 or 10 years time, both Scottish and English will be paying higher and higher taxes and getting less and less in return for it whether there is still a union or not! Basically we're all f*****!
Englishmans view.

The establishment killed the indy vote last week. Westminster turned up in a hair shirt with Cameron saying "effin tories" to massage the scottish ego, the big guns of business and the financial institutions coughed about leaving Scotland and suddenly it wasn't a Braveheart film.
Once people heard they might actually be hit in the pocket the collective bottoms of Scotland squeaked. The union was restored last week, labour need not worry one jot.

The Labour social gathering has purely ever mandatory one vote. ONE social gathering:ONE united states. If the sturdy anybody is 'grew to become loose' (to vote), the Labour social gathering would be residing in concern of what the persons will "prefer" to vote on next. it fairly is a grimy little circle of affairs .... and administration.

Yes...Labour Councillors have started to bribe all the OAP's - with £50 - and Food Hampers... and a wee hurl in the Labour Mini Bus down to the Polling station... to get their vote off them.. how desperate is that ? re: Trident .. England couldn't afford it - without Scotland's Oil..
