If RBS wasn't bailed, the total debt amount would have been the equivalent of actually physically selling Scotland as a country. What an Ebay listing that would have been.

I certainly hope the vote goes YES in Scotland.
The Scots elected to join England 300 year ago and it's taken them that long to see their mistake.
If the vote goes no they would be the first country ever to vote against independence, but the momentum is with the YES who have a brilliant campaign on social media etc.
Let hope a YES vote in Scotland will wake up the people of Wales! We didn't have the choice of joining the union it was forced upon us. Enough is enough.
Go for it Scotland, come on Wales to freedom!

Quebec voted against independence from Canada back in the 90s. By the narrowest of margins. It got nasty at the time, but since then the Parti Quebecois have lost a lot of ground.

I think you'll find that the NHS in Wales is in a far better state than England although the right wing English press will tell you otherwise, but they would wouldn't they.
As for Cardiff airport, don't blame the assembly, blame Labour they run the place. It's their policy. Time for a change don't you think?

Sorry but Labour have been in power of the WAG ever since it was first set-up and with the help of Plaid and the Lib Dems at different times so I will blame the WAG FFS and if you really think the NHS is better in Wales than England then you obviously haven't been following the current affairs for the last few yeas then have you!!!!

The Labour run WAG is blindly walking the people of Wales into a Communist state and the amount of propaganda which have come to nothing should have people seeing through them by now. Remember the electric pods which were going to go around Cardiff, the seaplanes which was going to take off from Cardiff Bay, they STILL haven't finished the A465 expansion, they spend a fortune on the Newport bypass project, then reject it and now it's back on the drawing board, then you had the seven barrage and f**k I could go on.

The PQ blamed recent immigrants to Canada, who had voted overwhelmingly against independence, for the narrow defeat. They were disappointed at losing, but played the race card afterwards.

In the past, the SNP have not been above playing the Orange card. Hopefully, they are a bit more inclusive these days.

This is a step into the unknown & them Scottish nationalists led by the most evil/odious man in Britain are making a big mistake if they think the living standards will improve its bullshit built on what ifs.
A yes vote could lead to constant tory rule & we all know what that means to all of us in Wales & north of Watford.

They've been centralising the NHS for years, sure it's ok for us but they've totally screwed over the rural areas, The Anglesey council was dirtier than Nixon, we've been a one party state for 4 decades. I was sat listening to 6 representatives in school last year. The green party woman was completely insane - spent the whole time talking about bees :?

the labour and lib dem women spent the whole time bickering because some guy had screwed and left both of them and they were taking it out on each other

the conservative guy was alright but had the motivation and forward thinking of a drunk

I felt like starting a military coup by the end of it........I'm happy with London, not to mention I like the royal family and the history we've shared, England just needs to get its head out of its ass.

the plaid guy was good but I don't trust his party.

And don't get me started with the ambulance service due the WAG running the NHS. The valleys are lucky to have more than one ambulance covering the different valleys on a weekend night!!!!

Also barry hospital is a f*cking waste of money. Do you know that there is thousands of pounds worth of equipment in that hospital which is still in their wrapping and has been there over ten years because it's a waste of time now

It may be no longer viable for the company to operate a satellite office in a foreign country. Also there is still no guarantee on what the currency will be and there is no long term plan past say 10 years.

I can see why they want to do it because in the short term it does look beneficial for Scotland but it's a risk I cannot at this moment in time afford to take.

There is a lot of uncertainty and questions without answers IMO.


Does the UK have a long term plan? What is it?

Re: ' indendence Scotland Yes or No? '

Simply no winner in this vote and bitterness will be prevalent for many years whichever way the vote goes. Having read quite a bit on the subject in the British press, it would appear that it is evenly divided. Having grown up in Blaenau Gwent, I return each year and see the total hopelessness in the lives of the unemployed people in that area. Surely there has to be a better way to be governed than from the capital city of a foreign country. It would be a YES from me.

The Welsh assembly take their cut before they give the councils in wales their handout from Westminsterand it's the WAG which runs both education and the NHS in Wales so what was that you mentioned about league tables ?

I'm going to be direct here when I say that some of the comments on here (especially the wales about an Independant Wales) are filled with anti-Westminister propaganda and you should start understanding what the WAG controls before blaming Westminister.

Come off it. We are given an ever decreasing budget by Westminster and you know it. Wales is under funded by hundreds of millions of pounds each year because the Barnett formula is outdated. How can you run things properly if you are grossly under funded? Of course things like health and education will suffer. Westminster treats us like shit and too many just roll over and take it. Who the f**k enjoys being ruled by someone else? We do by the look of it.

Well I'm going to ignore the original question (I'm not Welsh) but I do support Scotland's independence. I know how English politics ignore them and if I were them I'd be in a rush to get out, especially with us Scandinavians ready to help them get at their oil ;)

I see Scotland as closer to us than England really. But about Wales I would have no opinion.

I like Carwyn as a bloke, seems trustworthy and heart in the right place but is this really the best talent we can offer as a leader of Wales? And this new Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb? For real? Someone who lives near me was recently made an AM and its beyond a joke that the system allows people to be in any capacity of office when they simply just are not up to the task it in terms of experience and competence.
