No it didn't there was nothing in the Nats manifesto about a referendum in 2014 or about devo max, and the three Nats that took the long trek to see me had great difficulty answering any questions about finance, and exactly what "independence in Europe meant"

I find the best way to convince our southern friends that my RBS £20 note is perfectly valid in England is to buy a round of beers and then tell the girning cunt at the bar that he can either accept the note or pour his beer back up the taps.

Next year Alex will release newly designed Scottish money and stamps to the Scottish people to bolster the sense of patriotic value to their country.

Alex is a much cleverer man than David and can out flank him.

David is Conservative and preservative.

Alex just wants his country back.

I guess the Welsh will be glued to this story as a prelude to the United Kingdom collapsing in on itself.

What fecking "country"!? If you wind the clock back 300 years pre-Union, there was only a backward tribal landscape with no unified government and no institutions.

Modern Scotland and everything in it is entirely a product of the Union.

If Scotland thinks it has a right to self-determination, then presumably so does every other European ethnic group as at c.1707 AD.

The same could be said about the USA and look what independence has done for them.

Questioning Israels right to sovereignty? Maybe not European but I suggest just as relevant.

Aye ok.... I think you are misinformed Sir. Remember it was a Scottish King who took the English throne as no one would Shag Elizabeth the 1st! No institutions? Ok.... St Andrews University was formed in 1413... One which was attended by HRH Prince William. Anyway....

I look forward to an independent Scotland, shortly followed by Sarkozy and Merkel telling Alex Salmond that he should be replaced by a technocrat because Scotland is not sticking to EU budgetary targets....
