Look at the picture. Read the text. Get angry:

Former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper, former foreign secretary Jack Straw and former Northern Ireland and Welsh secretary Peter Hain appeared at a rally in Glasgow city centre.

Better Together leader Alistair Darling was also at the event, along with former prime minister Gordon Brown and party peer Lord Foulkes.

Mr Miliband said: "We are here in solidarity because we are Better Together.

"There is no bigger issue in this referendum than the National Health Service. The real risk to the NHS is independence."

He added: "It is because of the achievements of Donald Dewar, because of devolution that the National Health Service in Scotland is run by the people of Scotland.

"The only person who can privatise the National Health Service in Scotland is Alex Salmond.

"We are proud to stand here and fight for jobs, for the NHS and for our country."

Fucking hell. Literally bottom of the barrel, substanceless garbage.

Felicia Morris, a high-flying lawyer dubbed "the Queen of the London-based Scots", was also alarmed by the prospect of an independent Scotland. "Everyone's very worried," she told the magazine. "It's being talked about incessantly at dinner parties."

How Cameron asked business leaders to step in to save the union

Have you wondered why so many businesses are coming out against independence at the moment. Well, at a reception at Number 10 on Monday, David Cameron urged business leaders to do everything they could to keep the union together. This is from our business blog.

The boss of Asda has said the supermarket will be forced to split its business if Scotland votes for independence, raising the prospect of higher prices north of the border, writes Jennifer Rankin. Earlier today, John Lewis chairman Sir Charlie Mayfield issued a similar warning.

Andy Clarke, chief executive of Asda, the UK’s second largest supermarket, which has 61 stores north of the border, said if Scotland voted for independence it would be “imperative” to set up a separate Scottish business.

If we were no longer to operate in one state with one market and, broadly, one set of rules, our business model would inevitably become more complex. We would have to reflect our cost to operate here.”

This is not an argument for or against independence, it is simply an honest recognition of the costs that change could bring.

Clarke attended a reception of business leaders at 10 Downing Street on Monday, where prime minister David Cameron urged executives to do everything they could to keep the union together.

The supermarket boss said last year that a ‘yes’ vote would increase pressure on costs, echoing a similar warning from Sainsbury’s.

Yer man Nick Robinson there on BBC News saying that Alex Salmond dismisses all fears as scaremongering. A tangible tone of unbridled seethe shining through as he does so. Glorious. I'm just praying that the biased media coverage, false promises, downright lies and "strength, safety and security" nonsense BT trot out isn't enough to convince people that our subsidising of rUK should continue.

Anyone that thinks after a No vote the powers will suddenly be agreed on then rushed through parliament when there is absolutely no urgency nor any great desire from the house is wired to the moon.

The 3 parties still haven't agreed on possible powers, the parliament is going to dissolve for the general election in a matter of months so there won't be time to push things through even if they get an agreement and the tories are more interested in getting EU reform bill through rather than worrying about a vote that has already "gone in their favour". Let's remind ourselves this is how the head of the Bitters campaign sees the process going..

So, those promises then...

A NO vote will ensure that UKIP get more seats in Westminster than the Lib Dems. As the three Westminster parties are campaigning for the 2015 general election, each having promised to deliver new powers for Scotland, which is very unpopular in England and Wales, UKIP will be campaigning on " no more powers for Scotland ", something that they can do because they have made no promise to the people of Scotland.

Every day south of the border, the press have been inciting the public against Scotland just as they have against Europe. By the time 2015 election comes round, what's happening up here now, will be happening down there.
