More powers were talked about months ago.

Yes, crap. The NO campaign, and with all due respect, I have been here for the duration, has been derided as a negative campaign by people (not you) who have done nothing but shout freedom and whose arguments are thin, bar a vague notion of lets break away.

No, the NO hasn’t been as flashy as the YES, but that’s the point. The YES has been all fur coat and no knickers, all flash and little substance. They cannot, for all the razamatazz, answer the basic questions.

Oh, and you DID see all the major Scottish entertainers who have been parading their YES-ness for all to see?. Just as many as the NO celebs.

Except of course, ours actually live here. Whilst 007, Brian Cox and Alan Cumming et al tell us to vote YES, then bugger off back to the US or the Bahamas. And btw cannot vote because of that!.

I don't think any UK political campaign has what it takes to be flash, if that's what you mean. They just don't campaign like American parties do.

What I mean is that 'No' has been adding more and more resolutions to the bribe pile over time and now that we're reaching the goal the wallets came out. They're proposing to pay Scotland a huge ransom using English money without a referendum from English voters and that makes it doubly awful. I haven't seen actual hysterics (yet) from 'No', but I think that if they'd stuck to the facts and pressed home how daft the 'Yes' campaign is, they'd be in far less trouble.

Cameron and Milliband both need to resign over this fiasco, and if 'Yes' wins Milliband will be the most irrelevant man in England overnight. Only Cameron REALLY needs to go. They must be keeping Mr. Farage locked in a basement somewhere for all the damaging clucking and crowing he could be doing to the 'No' campaign.

I'm starting to wonder if only HRH can stop the bleeding with a personal appeal setting the right tone with the right message. If 'Yes' wins, Mr. Cameron should thank God that he's not living in the Middle Ages. If I were king, I'd have him brought to the Tower by rowboat for losing Scotland. I'd be awaiting him with a mace.

That said, I agree that Scotland shouldn't be kept in the union at ANY price. It'll be an enormous embarrassment if they break away but on the other hand there's certainly some positives that'll come out of it ...along with a whole barrelful of awfulness, of course.
