That alone singles him out as a moron. Nobody in their right mind would join the Euro at this point. I bet deep down even the German's are wishing they had a way out before they end up shouldering the debt for the entire EU.
As said above, if Scotland gained independence I could see a lot of people feeling forced to move South. The SNP seem to fail to realise or publically acknowledge that a vote for them isn't necessarily a vote for independence - it's a vote for something like free tuition fees, perscriptions, or because there was nobody worth voting for.
I think it was Clarkson that probably said it, but there's truth in the statement that the people who grow up wanting to be a politician are the first ones who should be barred from becoming ones.lacroupade said:

This thread is making some interesting reading.
As an Englishman exiled in Scotland there are currently few things that would cause me to move back to England but this is one of them, having said that I am from the North East and at times am driven mad by the attitude of a great number of people who seem to think England stops at the Watfod gap and to live outside the M25 you must be some kind of troglodite.
It has been touched on in this thread and you can see by the contributors that anyone with even a small amount of common sense can see the pitfalls in indepence even if they agree with it in principle, problem is reading into Salmonds policies he's going after the Jeremy Kyle watchers and bottom feeders with no intelligence and think Bravheart is historically accurate. Lets not forget England has been invaded by the Romans, the Anglo Saxon's, the Vikings and finally the Normans when if you where a Briton you were a second class citizen so it could be argued that the invasions and persecutions that went on in Scotland were actually French led and not English.
As for the money thing, the thing I have I noticed is the further south you go the harder it is to spend it and try spending a £100 note anywhere, I don't think there is anything more sinister in it than they are just not used to seeing it and therefore have no idea whether it's real or not nor does it help that there are 3 issuing banks each with there own banknotes.
If you ran a buisness and a guy came in to buy a newspaper and tried to pay with NI banknote would you take it? It's legal tender but it's the same thing you just don't see enough of them to know if it's real or not.

I once got paid (in Scotland) with a £100 note when I was a youngster, and for the 5 mins I had it, it was the greatest money I had ever held... Then my boss told me it was my round and sent me to the bar to get 2 pints. Barman's face was a picture.
As for the 4th Feb, the English members of my rugby coaching team are already making their excuses... I am staying quiet, except to say
COME ON SCOTLAND !!!

So true,
If independance is gained you watch the prices of housing plummet as everyone moves South, you won't be able to give your house away in Scotland.

I also had someone ask where I work if they had to take a passport to go to Scotland!!!
I've never known anyone Scottish ask if they needed a passport to go to England?
There's still that big wall to get over though!?
My dad always said they just needed a 50p toll and no bugger would pay it!
I for one welcome independance...Im sick of hereing the union was 300 years in the making...check the history books it was in the taking!
Scotland can stand alone and do business well with its neighbours and europe alike.
Freeeedommmme!
