Such an arsey attitude from many on these forums.

People would be happy to watch a country destroy itself? Hahaha, would be a great laugh.
Problem with the UK, is a good amount of it should be burned, with everyone trapped in their homes. It wouldn't be much loss to the world.

Average OcUK poster - "How dare you want to go it alone! I hate every last one of you though, you fried food, heroin taking, benefits scrounging scum. Death is too good for you."

I think one of the main reasons for this though is because of certain Scots who claim the English are the cause of all their problems, which doesn't really endear sympathy. These views from both sides just breeds resentment, hence the comments.

My thinkings exactly but you put it much better than I ever could.

If the Scots are looking for SYMPATHY it's between SUICIDE and SYPHILIS in the dictionary!

I think you're taking my comment the wrong way, I just meant it as understandimg each others situation. No need to get so defensive. People understand that the current system isn't ideal but just playing the blame game doesn't help.
 
Sept 2014 - Asked if he could pledge not to bring back another referendum if the Yes campaign does not win on Thursday, he said: "That's my view. My view is this is a once in a generation, perhaps even a once in a lifetime, opportunity for Scotland."

Oh right then Alex.

It would be better if they focussed their efforts on governing in Holyrood. The real shame is that we have no effective opposition in Scottish Politics at the moment.

Police Scotland - shambles.

Child literacy - declining from 2012-2014 under the majority SNP administration.

NHS Scotland - bit of a mess. But look - we give rich people free community prescriptions (never mind about the cancer treatment, eh)

They are a party of whiners, not doers and should be confined to the opposition benches. They refuse to use the powers that Holyrood has because that would mean taking on responsibility when they prefer to blame Westminster.

Smith is being delivered. Lets get on with that in Westminster and sort out Holyrood. Or our elected MPs can vote to keep tighter rules for English foxhunting than for Scots. No logic at all (and no impact on Scotland), other than to interfere with Tory policy.

Wouldn't work that way as we'd outsource manning the border to the Chinese.

They're very efficient at making undesirable elements disappear.

So Scottish Nationalism is bad but British Nationalism is ok, Jog on. Just keep believing the Daily Mail and biased mainstream media they are never wrong and they don't have an agenda. I would not care if Oil was 1p a barrel Scotland needs to escape dis-united union and rotten to the core, immoral, corrupt Westminster. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it :D

On the contrary, Scottish nationalism is fine but British and English nationalism is often tarred with the R word.

Scotland voted decisively against independence. Salmond and Ms Sturgeon often seem to forget that. I wish Scotland well whether they are independent or within the Union but my feeling is that Salmond and Sturgeon's version of independence is a little odd which seems to include a Westminster and Threadneedle Street supplied comfort blanket.

Personally, I can't stand either of them and do not like their blinkered policy of party politics over the people who put them in power.

Really easy to achieve if your opposition consists of labour and the conservatives, labour tacitly not knowing where the hell they are going and the Tories, well...

You forgot Labour gave Scotland a Parliament then ran it from London with their Leader being a mere branch manager(why she said she quit and Murphy brought in the rule that MSP would decide Scottish Bills) Which was what the Scottish Parliament was supposed to be about in the first place.
 
People who keep saying 'If the Scots want to go they should just go' need to keep in mind that the majority of Scots DO NOT want to go. When you say such things, you only empower the vocal minority.

Alright, Police Scotland isnt a terrible idea, but it was ram shackled from the old constabularies, so it still has some old systems that make it less than desirable, eventually with a bit of time it should work out more efficiently.

Child literacy has dropped in the UK in general since Labour came to power with their crappy education policies, the SNP has changed the system, whether it is better or not, ill certainly never know, but teachers and lecturers don't seem impressed.

NHS, really depends which hospital you are around, if every hospital was like NHS Grampian you might be right, however the NHS again in general has always been underfunded, so no point arguing tbh.
