This is the worrying bit, as far as I can see yer man Salmond hasnt actually laid down any information on what he will do for GDP's, finance, law, defence, justice, welfare or health, he just seems to be appealing to the Nationalistic spirit (which the Scots should be very proud of BTW), AFAIK without oil your two biggest exports are mineral water and whisky, not really a basis for a global player's economy ........
Agree, i'm waiting patiently on his manifest for independence. I've got lots of questions i need answered. BUT folk south of the border dont help, with there comments like. "London props up Scotland/Wales" etc. The investments that are made in London are funded from all sorts of sources including Scottish and welsh investers! I really cant see why certain folk think that England subsidise the rest of the UK.
From the top to it's bottom the UK is very, very similar irrespective of what part your in. Some bad parts, some good. The city of London have to remember that there investing on behalf of all of the UK, not just England!
Furthermore, Scotland is as wealthy as England, pro rata!
