Yes, and we will also be out of the EU and a financial basket case of a country. Some people like to look at independence through rose tinted specs but the reality would be higher taxes, severe cuts to public services or a combination of both. That's an unpalatable fact that you won't hear national...

In other news the statue of Donald Dewar has been vandalised by 'YES' people after a demo yesterday in Glasgow. If this is nationalism, you can stick it. According to the Evening Times stickers were plastered all over his statue including one supporting pro-independence. Given that it was largely d...

Vivian no right thinking person vandalises anything. When we get our independence we will have a nuclear free country, no Trident or nuclear power stations. A country that will be a shining example to the world. Yes, and we will also be out of the EU and a financial basket case of a country. Some p...

That's only for EU countries, or Countries with a Free Trade with the EU. Whisky goes world wide. SC Jeezo, it makes no difference how far it goes. The fact is, it's a complete myth that Scottish whisky is taxed at the point where it is exported, which is a popular myth peddled by certain people, i...

[quote="GEODGC To honest I'm more outraged by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP going against what a huge number of Scots want. This is what she said about another referendum...... “And I, of course, respect the decision that our country made last year. So let me be clear: to propose another referen...

I'm surprised and disappointed by some of the responses. I thought we would all be outraged by the dismissive contempt with which May has treated the Scottish Parliament and through it, you and me. 'Not now - maybe later.' These words are what I would have used with our children when they were youn...

I think most people are sick fed up of Nicola Sturgeon and the SNPs one agenda politics to be honest. I think we will see a backlash with their votes dropping. I'm more than a bit peeved that the SNP have hijacked my remain vote in the Brexit referendum and taken it as a signal for a second referend...

Now seems like billy gilmour is off to Chelsea for £600k. I know he's only 15 but I don't think it'll be a good move for him(hope I'm wrong).I think he could be lost for years in their system. Much like when Islam feruz left for Chelsea from celtic (although he wanted to go)just disappeared off the...
