Are there seriously many people out there who cannot tell the difference between just using the pound and monetary union, with the support of the BoE?

I could imagine that a few people would not get it but, surely, for the love of god and an average education system, most people can tell the difference? Cant they?

I really do not want to see thousands of Scottish people failing to understand the currency issue, thinking that simply using the pound without BoE support will be fine.

I do not want to look at Scotland and have to conclude that a significant minority of the people of that country are stupid. Not just a bit stupid. But really, really stupid.

Help me have some faith that they are not that dumb. Please.

If they are that dumb, then they are doomed.

Do you honestly think it would be different in England?

Thought not.

Would the BoE have to pay any attention whatsoever to an independent Scotland? Conceivably they could bankrupt the place

I sincerely hope not, they should be looking out for UK interests only!

I feel so sorry for those on the no side of the debate to have to face what appears to be almost fascist levels of intimidation, we really need to be shot of those folk, I genuinely feel for the rest of you up there, but many of us down here want no further association with these hate filled bags of bile.

Btw anyone else notice that one guy in that video was a dead ringer for Fluffy?

Yes, I noticed Fluffy immediately. It does look like him doesn't it?

This is truely disgraceful. The SNP 'Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda' is clearly in full effect.

[Sway]

Which one looked like Fluff?

I watched that in disbelief. Utterly shameful. Heckling of a politician, whilst distasteful, is somewhat to be understood (not anything like this though, and that includes Bliar/Brown). Heckling, intimidation and threats towards normal people asking questions or voting differently is abhorrent.

Shame Scotland.

The guy in Ayr calling him Jim a traitor at 0:45, next to the green sign. Well that's who reminded my of Fluffs picture on here, assuming that is him.

[Pooh]

The same sort of appalling behaviour took place during the devolution referendum so it is not a surprise.
Unfortunately these morons are a sizeable minority but please do not judge the rest of us based on them.

When the result comes in and it's a no how will such people feel with others be able to resist the urge to gloat mock and generally rub it in.

fk me. I thought this was a scene from Northern Ireland or something.

Fair play to the MP for continuing in the face of such intimidation.

[S13_Alan]

Anyone seen something online that does an easy to follow explanation of the difference between using a currency and having a currency union?

I'd like to link to something in a dicussion that looks a bit more official, like as proper evidence to back me up, rather than just relying on what I've written.

I particularly like the guy with the egg scuttling away at the end like the pathetic coward he is.

I thought there might be trouble and Salmond uses the same tactics in FMQS literally LOL at any question then answering another thing he wants to.



This is turning into the start of something very very nasty.

What about if they put the price up to match ours at £9k or whatever it is, then issue grants to their students to cover it?

They would have to issues grants to German, French and Spanish too and still exclude the English.

Are you saying that they would be forced to issue grants to other EU students, or that they would choose to do so?

They will not be able to do anything different with English students so if they offer grants to one group of EU students they will have to be offered to all.

That is absolutely disgraceful. I am genuinely gobsmacked.

[Axionknight]

A Yes voter I work with claimed it was all put on, as a smear.

Disgraceful.

And this is why the 'no' voters are relatively silent (publically at least) compared to the 'yes' folks - I'm still confident it will be a 'no' vote and the bookies agree with me.

I wonder how many English students would want to study in Scotland after seeing such overt levels of racism and anti-English rhetoric?
