ayrmad Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Still... Northern Rock!! :lol: I think their shares were worth a punt for small stakes at the time, I'm sure the highest performers on trading stocks have a vast history of snapping up shares with a similar profile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Brian Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The most striking thing about this article is where are Alistair Darlings comments on the poll? Before you all start I am on record as saying that I don't pay any attention to polls. Good or bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbs Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jenkins writes it off as one of things and that there will be 'peaks and troughs' - which is fair enough. He continues that Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world...................... which to me would seem to be an endorsement of the union. The wealth he is pointing to has been established during 300 years of union, that wealth and the union cant just be a coincidence. Even within the UK he points to us being richer than the UK so hardly a case of Westminster ignoring us and looking after themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change the fact we are a relatively wealthy nation in or out of the UK. Independence gives us the opportunity to spend that wealth on things that aren't toy boats, train sets or a city four hundred miles away in another country 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Brian Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Well the wealth out of the UK is entirely speculative our position currently is absolutely clear. I would argue about the speculation of the level of our wealth in an independent Scotland but you are right our current position is relatively clear, but not 100% clear. How rich a country Scotland is doesn't change anything in that we have no control where the vast majority of our wealth is spent. In an independent Scotland we do have that control. Wouldn't it be great to have that control. It's one of the most basic and simplest arguments for independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 On another note, good to see the "ScotGoesPop" guy has learned from the good Reverend, about extracting money from idiot Nats. £3K raised so far... good work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbs Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 In the interests of balance Lex/Tubbs, are you not commenting on today's Sunday Times Poll? I prefer to read a Scottish paper . Feel free to add it to the mix; that's what a discussion forum is all about. however, I think I was being quite balanced by questioning the swing of the SoS poll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 What does it say? The headline figure is unchanged, contradicting the ICM poll, but that Scots are more likely to vote Yes. So Sunday Times goes into English will save the union mode. I think that was the gist of it As I say I don't pay any attention to the relevance of figures in polls, people will spin them as they see fit, my attitude is there is only one poll that counts, but as I say in the interests of balance not all polls released today show 5 point decrease in the Yes vote 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The headline figure is unchanged, contradicting the ICM poll Well, it's by two completely different polling companies. We've been told by the Nat fails on this subject that Yes is surging and No is sliding. That's clearly contradicted by these polls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
