I can't believe for a second that any but the dimmest of the Yes support thinks it will be all cakes and ale.<br /><br />As the guy said, there are things that could cause problems.<br /><br />But instead of centring their arguments about stuff that has the potential to go wrong, they have made stupid arguments that have often been disproved, not by Yes, but by themselves.<br /><br />He''s right that you kinda feel insulted by their lies. Things like this Jackie Baillie story... Losing the WMD will mean 11,000 good salaries going out of the area. no it won't. These people spend almost nothing in the area. Their s;salaries are paid into banks in England and they come to Scotland for 4 days at a time. Easily disproved total lies.<br /><br />Same with the pound; same with the EU, Nato etc. In every case people on their own side have had to admit it was lies.<br /><br />I've never been for the UK, but if I had I would be starting to wonder if there is any truth in anything they say.<br /><br />It is tempting to think not, especially when they pick idiots like Danny Alexander to trot out this crap. You realise that osborne doesn't want to damage the Tory brand in England, but he doesn't much care if Beaker makes an ass of himself.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-188975671021497862014-05-29T21:22:17.759+01:002014-05-29T21:22:17.759+01:00Niko Pet.
