I thought BP's Head Office was in London. How could an Independant Scottish Government nationalise a Company that would not have to comply with any laws they introduce.

As for the Banks. Do they not mean "Bank" as in Clydesdale? Perhaps the Clydesdale will remain in Scotland. I cant see any other Banks being located there.

I cant believe anyone would be taken in by this bullshit. Threaten Companies/Banks now and they have until 2016 to pull out of Scotland.

The stockmarket has already got the jitters. A Yes Vote next week will create uncertainty, a thing the markets despise, and it will start a massive sell-off of all things Scotland linked.

On a brighter note Weatherspoons CEO was optimistic, on BBC Breakfast, if there is a Yes Vote. So there will still be somewhere to go and get pissed.

The thing is Frankie, these Yes people are so stupid, they think they are going to rule the world, not just Scotland. Thank goodness a No vote will win next week. I feel sorry for the majority of Scots who must be highly embarrassed to have these Yes idiots as fellow countrymen.

I know a few people who live in Scotland, some born there others are working there long term.

They will all vote NO as they cant see how an Independant Scotland can be economically viable. Plus the cost of funding this half baked idea would fall on them, the Taxpayers. But these type of people have to keep a low profile as a lot of the YES voters are intimidating. I think this Silent Majority will have their say next week and the whole idea can be put to bed.

I wonder how much all this bollocks has cost and who is going to fund it? Rhetorical question of course.
