Sillars was interviewed on Sky News earlier. He even turned his fire on Alison Joseph who questioned his view about the chief German economist saying a yes vote would bring economic depression, as scare mongering. What are the chances of us seeing him later mouthing off at the Orange parade in Edinburgh?

I hope they vote Yes purely as it will fuck up all the idiots like Cameron, Clegg and Miliband and our great chance to have a deeply socialist republic of Great Britain

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 was surprised to read somewhere yesterday that Scotland lowered the voting age to 16 – What the fuck would any 16 old know about the implications of a yes vote FFS – At 16 they are still finding out about the real world!

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.

Exactly Bagman, it was another cynical ploy by Adolph Salmon as he knew most of the spotty faced little darlings would fall for his bullshit.
And that bright spark from Eton Cameron fell for it and allowed him to do it.

And in a brilliant piece of timing, today's lunchtime movie is Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Starring that well-known Jock, David Niven.

All the pollsters are predicting it to be very close but the bookies aren't

Yesterday in Corals the prices were YES @ 3/1 and NO @ 2/9
