    Well George Galloway has done more than his fair share for the 'NO' vote - unlike the leaders of the other parties

    Go on, Dedworth - give him a bit of "respect"!

    What will be very interesting is, after the vote - whichever way it goes - will people (especially 'NO' voters) be classed as scabs?

    If it's a 'YES', and things are worse financially, then the ones who wanted to stay together will be at odds with the 'YES' voters. A real hornets nest on its way!

    Whichever way, it goes, ...*Scotland will have shown itself to be a "force to be reckoned with" - a proud nation no longer content to be cowed into submission by the old order of things ludicrously dictated by a succession of (predominantly English) Westminster-based parliamentarians domiciled more than 400 miles away from *its southernmost tips - slightly north of Berwick-upon Tweed in the east and just above Carlisle in the west - since 1707.

    Don't get me going, Arthur

    One could say if Scots are as patriotic as they claim to be most seem to want to move to England at the Earliest opportunity.

    We have to put up with plenty of Jocks in Westminster

    I still hope it's a 'NO' but Scotland do very well out of the Union

    Great news today for the NO campaign, all the talk of banks, etc moving south will scupper that English hater Salmond.

    Scots are 'Canny' and now it's becoming very clear what could happen financially to Scotland. The voters who got carried away by the 'Braveheart' effect will now at last see the truth and vote NO.

    A women on Radio Five Live who spoke well said she was worried to death as she has a successful business just south of Scotland, but lives there and she summed it up to my amusement by saying the Educated Scots will vote NO, the uneducated Scots will vote YES.

    I think there is something in that!

    I know it will be close but it's going to be a 'NO'.

    If it was yes, I've heard it said that the average British rainfall would go down.

    A YES vote would also increase the average British life expectancy.

    The silly man didn't anticipate that there might actually be some serious resistance to his selfish ego trip...at the appropriate time.

    It's a bit like the UK Referendum for coming out of Europe, a definite "No, No" once the politicians start the brainwashing. That's if the Tories - by some miracle - get in power again.

    Oh so once again the producers of The Simpsons try interfering in UK politics. Not the first time, as the character Lisa (Annoying self righteous little ) once called for Cornish independence, evil British Empire out or something.

    Well they can say that when they get their colonial 's out of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and end their oppressive rule over the Confederate States of America.

    Whilst I've been as "guilty" as the next in describing Salmond & Sturgeon as being a pair of "cocky wee nyaffs" ... I do feel BOTH deserve admiration for their dogged, unflagging tenacity throughout the entire Campaign.

    Unlike "The Three Musketeers" ... Messrs Cameron, Miliband and Clegg ... whose damn complacence has finally rebounded on them BIG time - as demonstrated by their frequent Eleventh Hour forays to and fro across the Border in a state of sheer blind panic!

    Talk about scaremongering!

    I'd say it's an insatiable desire to get their ugly snouts into an even bigger trough

    He is in it for himself - wants to go down as the man who made Scotland independent - self righteous piece of .....

    In a way part of me wants to see a Yes vote and watch Scotland go down the financial plughole - Sorry Arthur

    Just want to see that smug grin wiped off Salmond's face
