scotland again

[dingledong]

where did you see that?
They can't have blacklisted Scotland because they're still part of the UK

My mistake it was backed Scotland saying that they can get through a yes vote
It was radio 4 news

Trev not ALL the outlets will be moved to the Shetlands, but if there are branches of Tesco or Asda in the Shetlands (and other remote areas) that will drag up the average cost in Scotland. It's like how if you want to send something to a Scottish Island it costs more. It's not a 'racist' thing - it often costs more to send stuff to the Isle of Wight as well.

I would imagine the cost of a stamp would increase in an independent Scotland as well, although nobody has mentioned this as yet (apart from me, just then).

 

[trev]

Yeah but it costs Tesco x amount now to ship a can of beans to Kirkwall in the Orkneys. The cost of shipping that can of beans isn't going to go up just because Scotland votes one way is it?

The average cost to Tesco to ship a can of beans will be higher in Scotland than it would be in the rest of the UK. Being a separate country, Tesco will be able to charge more in Scottish stores.

Theoretically this should mean prices in the streamlined UK should fall, but I can't see that happening.

i was up in scotland about a month ago and you couldnt walk 50 feet with seeing a sign or walking past a town crier demanding people vote yes,

 

[dingledong]

Lucky you weren't taken hostage

 

[Farmelectrics]

[Farmelectrics]

[dingledong]

Don't you mean och I the noo

 

[dingledong]

Will they have to have there own reqs

My understanding of UK politics is somewhere between sketchy and non-existant but the way I understood it was that these new offers in Scotlands favour were already approved and signed and couldn't be reneged upon.

I think they are "pledges" not promises, and I heard on the radio that rUK parliament would need to approve them!

Tescos and all the retailers vary their prices by town to town, day to day, up and down, on offer, 2 for 1, etc etc

Just compare Tesco's and Tesco's local prices!

its all done to confuse, screw customers and make profits.

I'm due to vote tomorrow and I still am not 100% sure what way to go. I'll probably vote no. I dont like alex salmond or the majority of the people on the yes team and I dont think that they have been clear enough or answered all the questions asked. On the other side I feel that Scotland is more than capable of being independant and offer a lot to the UK economy and should have more of a say on our own affairs. Some of the underhand tactic from the yes campaign have been shocking, and they seem to want to make out that if you vote no then you are not Scottish. But again tonight I got an email from my employer which was supposed to detail the impact a yes vote would have on the company but actually ended up tearing into the yes campaign and was not about the company. There have been so many conflicting arguments on both sides which make the decision very difficult. As i said earlier I am leaning to the no side and will prob vote for this but some of the comments coming from down south are very narrow minded, to say basically the Scottish can f**k off and crash and burn is not helpful and that the rest of the UK should be worried if there is a yes vote as Scotland play a larger part and contribute far more to the union than we are given credit for.

 

[dingledong]

That's how they will make their money kidnapping and they will stand around you with their kilts pulled up over their heads demanding money

They haven't been clear on answering ANY of the really important questions or even remotely upfront about many other important questions. The fact is they ''Can't'' answer them because they don't know the answers themselves!! The SNP brought out a dossier type paper several years ago on how they intend to create and run an independant Scotland. That paper i believe has been refined several times. It consists of around 560 odd pages, but remarkably just ONE page set's anything out as far as financial matters go. lol!! So yep, they know what they're doing alright!!! lol!! So after all these years of planning, the vote is tomorrow and they still have absolutely no idea what currency the country will be using should they win!!! Who in their right mind would vote for Alex Salmond and his Yes campaign??? lol!!

 

[Knobhead]

There’s bugger all I can do about it whichever way it goes so why should I worry?

That is so long as they don’t start paying my pension in groats.

 

[jamie-spark]

On the opposite side of the planet we don't get much info on this so I might have got the wrong end of the stick but from what I see whichever way the Scots vote they've won. Surely with all the new agreements that have been signed and stamped there's no way they can lose, whichever way the vote goes they've got more independence and autonomy than ever before and likewise whichever way the vote goes England or whatever it is that remains of the union will lose.

There is Tory back benches that have already came out and vowed to block any such move to give us more powers.

 

[Engineer54]

You're are worried about some Tory backbenchers that you can count on one hand??

Be worried, no be very worried what will happen if the Yes vote wins!! You'll then have to face just how ill prepared and just how wrong the SNP are, with no way back. But Alex Salmond will still have a grin from ear to ear, as he'll be going down in history as the man that gave Scotlands it's independance, so he doesn't give a ****e about at what cost....

 

[tazz]

In the next few years....we will have more immigrants to worry about...!!

 

[jamie-spark]

There will be no border control that was another scaremongering tactic used by the no campaign

These powers are not a given. They have to go through parliament.

Up until a month ago I was a no voter. A friend then passes me information, that is not widely published by a bias media. I get the feeling it's edging towards a yes vote.

 

[dingledong]

So do I ! ! ! !

 

[dingledong]

Will Scottish imports cost more like irn bru Scottish rock Scottish pancakes and haggis
Or will there be a new wave of smuggling bringing it in

 

[Victor]

Just take a look at Jersey. It is not part of the United Kingdom, sets its own laws and taxes and still uses the pound. Why could Scotland not do the same?
