The three stooges, Cameron, Clegg & Milliband are hot footing it up to Scotland tomorrow but anything they do or say like Brown in last nights speech is purely panic stations now.

Whatever the result some people are going to be pissed off and all that will happen is Scotland will now be a divided country.

That's very true, I think if there is a no vote there will be social unrest with all the Rab C Nesbit types in their string vests kicking off and fish face who'll still be first minister causing any shit he can.
And if it's yes I think there will be a huge exodus of money and business from what will become the most northerly banana republic.

The Governor of the Bank of England, who is no ones fool, has stated again today they cannot have the pound. The SNP finance bloke responded that it will be all right on the night, you could not make up these nationalists stupidity.

He is far to bright to be anyones mouthpiece, albeit Osborne did appoint him. What he is stating needs to be taken on board by the Scottish people before they go into financial meltdown.

You could offer the Yes mob £100 to vote no and they would turn it down, they have got the London establishment shitting themselves and they love it. I predict an even bigger poll lead in the next few days but whether that turns into actual Yes votes that is a different matter

Spouting off in public is one thing, when they are alone in the booth and thinking about their financial future, the temptation to vote Yes will diminish. I am not buying into these recent polls, my prediction is a No vote with at least 55% of the vote.

To a degree I think people are so intimidated by the YES baying mobs they are too scared to say publicly who they are voting for. This is not a nice time to live here. I wouldn't put a NO THANKS sticker on my car, house, etc.

Problem is that Adolf Salmond has lured the gullible into believing his promised land of increased spending with no tax raises. A socialist utopia. There are a lot of people living in poverty and this is what they want to hear. Factor in the Tims and anti English Tartan Army clowns and unfortunately that's a good 40% of the population up here. It will be close. Any big news story in the next week could tip the balance either way.

People with mortgages are starting to shit themselves though. As they have a loan in sterling to English based lenders and if there is a currency change they might be fucked. I've moved all cash savings out of Scotland already just in case there is some Cyprus style restriction on moving capital in the event of independence.

I'm scared, I'm British I don't want to wake up on the 19th and be a foreigner.

Both RBS & Lloyds have stated they will relocate to England in the event of a Yes vote.

Unfortunately whatever the outcome, a lot of damage has been done
