That is just the attitude (and all the other guff about 'free' this and that) which could be the catalyst to make many proud Scots vote for independence. Posted October 15, 2012 at 10:57PM

Which is why I think that those who consistently attempt to 'put the Scots down' with implications of things like being broke without their ultra generous English neighbours, or asylum seekers flooding in, etc, will simply have the effect of making more Scots want to go it alone.

But keeping these thoughts on Scot's minds can only help the SNP. Posted October 16, 2012 at 1:27PM

if Cameron keeps up the 'over my dead body' stand, then independence becomes that bit more likely. Posted May 7, 2011 at 8:47AM

Myself, I think the constant harping by many English factions that Scotland couldn't survive without their generosity plays straight into the SNP hands. Posted May 8, 2011 at 1:33PM

Sadly your attitude (and that of many English people) will be exactly what will drive Scots into voting for independence. Posted May 11, 2011 at 6:21PM

Keep telling Scots it's all over often enough and in my view the thrawn residents of this land may take exception to their votes being taken for granted (the only poll that matters is the referendum). Posted October 28, 2012 at 10:22PM

The only point I set out to make was that you keep saying that this or that will boost the support for independence and it hasn't, yet.

Possibly, you have a different understanding of the term 'blind faith'. I used it in the sense of someone continuing to put forward the same opinion when reality has shown that opinion to be misplaced.

Maybe, it is the term 'blind' that has provoked you. Will you agree that you have faith in your opinion?

I express opinions, but as they are just that - and others may have diametrically opposed ones - so 'faith' can hardly be a word used about such opinions. Blind faith, to me , means having complete faith in something, regardless (belief in a God being an example, for some people).

It has been demonstrated regularly, on here, that you appear to have blind faith in all your own pronouncements.

But I was simply giving opinions and possibilities as I see them, how you get 'blind faith' from that still defeats me. AMEN.

As a final comment I will simply say you accusing anyone on here of being 'rude and aggressive' is ridiculous - you are the prime offender. I fail to see where the aggression comes into it......

In this thread I had specifically responded to morddwyd, and you came in with *" You are certainly to be admired for your continued blind faith"*, which, I would suggest, had overtones of sarcasm and rudeness.

I have tried to not respond to you, as I know where it inevitably leads, so this is my final word
