My voting form arrived on the doorstep this morning. After, months and months (and years for some, and 'centuries' for others!) of debate, it's now become very, very real!
There will be an actual vote on Scottish Independence in a little over 4 weeks time.
It's a massive question..an enormous call - do we want to break up the United Kingdom and go it alone?
It's a once in a life-time opportunity to vote for this.
There's no point moaning in a couple of years time, or even 5 or 10 years from now. Make that 20 years or 50 - or more. Westminster will ensure that there are no further referenda on Scottish Independence - by hook or by crook.
Certainly, the rules will be changed to prevent or hinder any further 'attempts' from us Scots trying to 'break away' or better ourselves.
It's effectively now or never. The UK parliament will be swiftly 'changing' their statute books to ensure this opportunity never, ever occurs and embarrasses them again.
Don't think, "I wont vote for Independence this time - but, next time, I probably will!"
There will be no next time!
Regardless of preference, it's the biggest vote in many generations; and certainly the most important ballot we'll all have in our lifetimes.
Good luck to those who are campaigning over the next month.
I hope we can get 80% turnout! Game on.
Unless something big happens like the uk leaving the eu when the majority of scottish people want to stay then expect another alot sooner!
There hasn't been one in the past 307 years! What makes you think there would then be two in 25 years. Westminster will ensure this never arises again.
1979 - devoloution referendum
1997 - devoloution referendum
2014 - independence referendum
We havent had the power for long and I would hope westminster could do **** all about another referendum (if it is a no) but you never know that whole iraq war wasn't exactly lawful or justified and no one is in jail.... except the ones in guantanimo bay yup that horror is still open.
lol 3.3 stars.... https://plus.google.com/106568354491101775421/about?gl=uk&hl=en

Whats the world coming to?
Stephen hawking and a load of english celebrities back a NO vote despite not having a vote thus trying to use their celebrity status to change peoples minds (both sides are guilty of this)
Yet the most intelligent response to the debate from someone who doesnt have a vote is from a god damn CHUCKLE BROTHER......

Go to the link and download the wee blue book. Loads of independent information that may held the undecided. http://wingsoverscotland.com/weebluebook/
A Freudian slip, perhaps?! 'Independent' information is all you'll get on Wings Over Scotland!
1Introduction"Scotland is served by 37 national or daily newspapers. Notone supports independence. (The only publication toback a Yes vote is a weekly, the Sunday Herald.) Newspapershave no duty to be fair or balanced, but when Scotlandfaces a decision as big as the one it’ll make on September18th, the press being so overwhelmingly skewed to oneside is a problem for democracy.Our website, Wings Over Scotland, is biased too. Wesupport independence, because we think it’ll make Scotlanda wealthier, fairer, happier place. We think Scotland willbe better off choosing its own governments to solve itsproblems and make the most of its opportunities, ratherthan hoping that the people of Kent, Surrey and Essexmight elect ones with Scotland’s interests at heart.We think the facts comprehensively back that belief up. Butwe’re not going to ask you to take our word for it.A very great deal of what you’ve been told aboutindependence in the last few years by Unionist politiciansand the media is, to be blunt, a tissue of half-truths,omissions, misrepresentations and flat-out lies. We wantto show you the truth hidden behind those lies, but usingfully-referenced and impartial sources that you can go andcheck for yourself.We’ll be mostly using the UK government’s own figures,the views of academic experts and Unionist politicians andofficials, NOT those who support independence.On September the 18th you’re going to have to make themost important decision any Scot in history has ever made,and it seems only fair that you should be able to do it basedon the real and full facts. Scotland’s media has only toldyou one half of the story. Don’t you at least want to hearboth sides before you decide"
Atleast they are more honest than the yougov polls that are sold to newspapers who want to pay for a catchy headline that sells more papers.

On the "new poll" topic Ayseeteee says posting is disabled since we already have enough independence topics going.
In that case why the HELL has he started yet another one especally since weve got the real poll in a few weeks time?
Because if you notice that other poll is from march 2013 and is now closed alot has happened since.
If we have the real thing in a few weeks this poll should be a bit more indicative of the final result so why does it bother you so much?

Surprising news that 100% of William Hill punters in Dundee and Motherwell have backed independence
William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly said: “If the Scottish punters turn out to the voting booths as they have done to the betting shops, then we could well see a ‘yes’ vote when the referendum takes place in September."
-
Please only vote if you are on the scottish electoral register but feel free to make a new poll for people that do not have a vote.
also posting is disabled since we already have enough independence topics going.

Whoops the truth slipped out
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-accused-letting-slip-4034087
"In an interview the bungling mayor of London railed against “ever more things we are giving Scotland”, and claimed that there is “no reason” for Scotland to have more powers.
He said instead that tax-raising powers should be granted to major cities in England."
Expect to see more "real" labour politicans coming out from under the right-wing rock in the coming weeks

You forgot to add Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Lebanon and South Sudan. All of which use Pound as their currency yet have no ties to Britian.
And their pounds have no ties to British pounds!
The most relevant pound is the poll showing that support for independence has taken a "pounding" since Salmond got his ass kicked by Darling.
I had you down as more intellgent and mature than that.... congratz on being the 3rd best poster on the site btw
Well the scottish pound will have nothing to do with sterling apart from the fact it would be pegged 1 : 1 with sterling so you said it yourself those other countries manage so can we!
-
Nothing in what I am saying is an argument against independece, it is simply a plea that before we decide how we vote we understand what independence really means.
Fair enough I will put my hands up and admit that I interpreted it as an argument against.

A blow to the no campaign as Piers Morgan voices his support in his usual style

Guernsey etc are British Crown Territories whilst the Falklands etc are British Overseas Territories. That is quite different from sharing a currency with a foreign state
So still being in the commonwealth after a yes vote means squat?
p.s the queen will still be head of state in an independent Scotland so it will be under the british crown like the above countries it just wont be a part of the uk
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/foreign
"situated outside a place or country; especially : situated outside one's own country"
So it would be england in our eyes that is the foreign state not scotland by that logic although it is flawed on both sides and I doubt either country will think differently of each other either way the vote goes.

Billy Bragg! The Yes supporters slagg off David Bowie for encouraging the Scots to vote "No", but it's apparently OK for Bragg to come up and encourage us to vote "Yes".
I don't see the no camp stopping anytime soon and it is not nearly as bad as the 200 that wrote a "love letter" to scotland....
He also needs to understand that it is not the Scottish pound, it is the UK pound.
Tell that to all these countries that are not part of the uk

Disappointed with salmond on the night as I have seen what he can do
Here is him ripping apart all 3 major parties and winning over the English audience in 2012

Hope this helps anyone looking for more info from the politicians mouths (for what its worth) here are just a few I have found and they are between 0 - 1 years old!
These should be covered by the fair use act for anyone worried about copyright problems.

He is just stirring it from down under!
Funny he says that when an independent Australia used the pound for 50 years.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_pound
Here are just some of our options
https://twitter.com/AdamRamsay/status/496979156992012288/photo/1
If most of those options are unappealing to you blame labour/tory/lib dem parties for forcing us to look elsewhere
(for the time being I imagine there would be a quick change in tune if we agreed on something else)

goal for hamilton but it is disallowed
Edit: ok the bbc website doesn't mention the disallowed goal but it was said on open all mics
"Big shout from Accies for a penalty there. Beautiful back-heel by Mickael Antoine-Curier puts Imrie in on goal. He tries to play the ball across the box and it appears to come off a Caley Thistle arm but the referee says no penalty. Then Antoine-Curier gets a chance himself but Brill saves well."
