Born Hunter 17,639 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 have you looked into the pros and cons? how it would effect/benefit all nations? Yes......... that's why I don't want a currency union. I don't want a foreign state significantly effecting MY currency. I don't want a foreign state benefitting from the success of my economy. But this isn't about pros and cons, it's about your gamble on your future, the fate of which is in UK hands. f***ing madness! And the best way to silence that argument is present a contingency....

Lab 10,979 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 cracks me up. the chancellor said again on Sunday morning without any uncertainty there will be no monitory union if you vote yes, the prime minster and all the opposition have said there will be no monitory union, but Salmond just keeps hanging you on to a fantasy that its all bluff, didnt they also say no more devo powers etc two years ago? what are they saying now... also has there attempts to mislead/scare voters been proved.. good support over belfast hills today, support growing everywhere they have all publicly said no consistently over the last 12 months the only person saying anything different is Salmond because he knows hes scuppered without it. hence no plan B You could look at it that way. Or are they saying that to scare folk?Why would they want to change something that already works? The irony in that statement is beyond parody......... Funny cause if this was some shite about outer space and I said 'what a load of pish" I'd get asked why I thought that. I'd get bombarded with stuff saying we should always be looking to better ourselves. Well guess what, that's what us Scots are trying to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worse off obviously, but safer than sharing it with a foreign state. How hard is that to grasp? How many times do I need to tell you we'll both do alright but not as well as we are togther! It'll be shit North and South. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,639 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 how did two similar ecomomies work out sharing with luxenburg and belgium... if it benefits both sides, whats the problem?? Luxenburg and Belgium, two countries reknowned for their feeling of nationalism and individuality..... I suspect British politics and sentiment differs somewhat to those two poxy countries. I have no idea what their situation was, but that's what they wanted. It ain't what I want! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That'd soon silence that argument. Surely a positive for the YES camp? All sunshine and rainbows up North. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,639 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 so lets be clear even it if benefited both scotland and the uk, you would still rather cut off noise than see scotland break away and do well using a currency union? I haven't said that...... your view is that it's a benefit. Mine is that it's a risk not worth taking. Are you seriously so ignorant you can't accept somebody that's not a Scottish nationalist might take a different view? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
