Discussion

Indeed. We've already sorted the flag issue - booting out Scotland and incorporating the Welsh:
Alternatively - we simply redefine what the blue on the flag means. It'll no longer be the blue from the Scottish flag - but rather a back drop denoting the blue ocean as a nod to the fine maritime heritage of these great isles.

t's when you tell them your a no voter. Just been told im a "traitors and a coward or unionists or loyalist" as im voting no! Nasty little people these cybernats!
Not surprising, yesterday we had an admission from that charmless nat Calvib, declaring that 19th September will be the day of reckoning. Can only assume that this is code for revenge on those with the temerity to vote no. Pretty unpleasant lot really.t's when you tell them your a no voter.

Nasty little people these cybernats!Unfortunately Bigsimon most Nationalist parties have these rather unpleasant undersides. The SNP could be compared with those lovely Hungarian Nationalists the Jobik party, just substitute English for Roma and they pretty much amount to the same intolerant racists. Salmond's only possible motive for excluding rUK students from his free university policy was to sow the maximum discord amongst these islands peoples - quite despicable. The bullying of no voters is just another manifestation of this authoritarian party's MO. God help Scotland if in independence you end up with this shower of belligerent bullies in power.
So in the news tonight Sky its reporting that the UK are about to go head to head with the EU on state subsidy to energy markets ie Wind energy and other renewables.
The point being unless all EU govts do the same then we have an unfair competitive advantage in that market - which given the way things go it will mean for UK its highly likely it will have to be removed.
Now how does that impact the iScotland debate... well SNP have guaranteed that their friends south of the boarder rUK would of course continue to invest and subsidise Scottish renewable energy---- now we did say as a different country we may choose to do that or we may not its out of iScotlands ability to influence.
This new news of course means its now highly likely that there will be no subsidy to continue to give as such its then purely a commercial decision hmm very interesting.
Interesting - thoughts?

This is just further evidence of how wastemonster UK isn't working for Scotland. One Scotland is independent they'll no longer be reliant on those tory toffs to get them a rubbish deal at the EU. Once they have their own voice, all their friends who want all their wind power and oil, will do whatever Alex asks.

Salmond on Newsnight was funny. That man is so full of st.
The 'Used Car Salesman' analogy used by the interviewer clearly hit home. The fleeting look of mortification and guilt said more in that instant than his mouth did for the entire interview.t.For a second or so he looked like someone who had locked a much-loved family pet in the car one bright, sunny hot morning, completely forgotten about it until the evening, and was now in almost complete denial about the pain and suffering his own cack-handed incompetence had caused - but that the sheer mental effort of trying to maintain that denial is starting to break him down.
He *knows* that he has screwed the case for independence, he *knows* the - ongoing - damage that it has already caused to the Scottish economy, he *knows* the sort of extremist bigotry that he has incubated, and ultimately he *knows* much of the responsibility for the whole sorry shambles lies with him.
I suspect after September he'll quietly slip out of the public eye in much the same way as Winky, and for the same reasons.
Had a search for "Salmond Used car salesman", first result was this:
