I shall be boycotting them too - they support the no vote.

You don't surprise me, the Nat attitude is appalling.

I notice you don't criticise unionists for suggesting they would boycott Scottish products though. Completely to be expected from such a biased unionist stance though.

The words you are looking for is "BUY BRITISH"

Don't think the malt whisky industry is going anywhere.

It just proves what an emotional issue maintaining the union is for most folk posting on here - that they would seek revenge for a yes vote by stopping buying Scottish products. Toys out of the pram.

It might to worth noting that the Scottish food and drink industry makes up 30% of that of the UK and is only getting stronger (despite the alleged 'uncertainty' of the looming referendum).

rUK needs Scotland more than vice versa. Otherwise Westmonster would not be pulling out all the stops in trying to get us to stay.

I tend to buy British when possible, not anal about it, but all things being equal I buy homemade/grown products. Until the Scottish question is resolved I choose not to buy Scottish. As to the rest of the twaddle in your post - I just can't be bothered to revisit all the cobblers you submit.

Come on then Calvib, lets debate social inequality, and

1) what the SNP will do post independence, and how, and
2) why they haven't done something already

GO!

[Calvib]

On a more serious note, what do you (yes and no supporters) make of the yes campaign's stance on keeping the monarchy?

I thought it a bit of a cop our before but now I see the logic behind it.

royal family = crap system

elected president from politics = really really crap system

elected head of state not from politics = really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really crap system

Independence will provide the maximum amount of flexibility in policy making to realise such changes.

You will have to ask the SNP specifically what their plans are. But they will have the 'fiscal and social levers' to realise change. See where the land lies on independence day - a lot will will happen between then and the yes vote.

It all comes back to that, doesn't it? "You'll miss us when we're gone!"

A bit, probably. For a while. We got over Ireland.

What happens if 6 million chinese people come to live in scotland?

[Sway]

I thought the campaigners who so impressed you had all the answers?

What 'fiscal and social levers'? You don't have to state what will happen, but the levers available would be interesting.

Do you appreciate how important the oil and gas revenue has been to the UK in the last 30+ years? Permitted the boom of the financial markets. Ironic really. Without oil, the UK balance of payments is in trouble. Hence the increasing desperation of Westmonster.

We did have to make a multi-billion pound emergency loan to them a few years back. Who remember's that eejit Salmond droning on about the arc of prosperity and telling all and sundry how Sterling was finished - what a prize dick.

No, that was not what I said. I said they had answers to my questions.
