The real question is if they go indpemdant can we deport all of them south of the border and rebuild Hadrians Wall.

"I think that if Scotland does gain independence then they may well be in the same situation as Ireland."

I think many people would be happy with that (note to fm - I didn't say all, or even most!).

"Personally I think that the powers that be might have made a bad mistake with that arrangement"

I left my native Wales in 1953, and paid my last visit in the 70s. I first came to Scotland in 1957.

Are you seriously suggesting that I should have a vote in any independence referendum in a country I haven't seen in 40 years, but not in a country where I have lived and worked for 60?

Possibly the only means of surviving an independence vote would be for the Scots to go fully into Europe,if the Euro survives itself,lock,stock and ........ .I'll leave you fill in the blank.

Would Salmond be any better pleased being 'ruled' from Brussels rather than Westminster,"independence"/"sovereignty" are dirty words in the Euro zone unless your country begins with an F or G.

Jock1e "The way I see it is if you were born in Scotland you should be entitled to vote."

Have you any idea of the complexity of what you are suggesting? Proving your Scottish birth and registering to vote in an election in a Scotland you maybe haven't seen in 70 or 80 years?? Get real!

WTM "asylum seekers"

Why on earth would they WANT to come if things are going to be so bad up here when England are no longer supplying all the cash to the Scots?

But always good politics to throw up scare stories at any opportunity!
