Erm, he didn't actually answer that question in the first video rofl. He had a rant about RBS, stating how there'd be no job losses etc..., then a rant about how BBC obtained the information and accusing them of obtaining it illegally (which was proven to be a load of rubbish earlier today), and that was it?

He sounds as close minded as a UKIP supporter I've blocked so many YES voters on Twitter just for being proper EDL with BBC ARE BIASED, YOU'RE GULLIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE THEM, YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH, THEY'RE LYING TO YOU etc... Meanwhile anybody who dare speak out in favour of No is getting torn to pieces. Best part is we win either way, Yes vote and we can laugh when it all crumbles, No vote and we can laugh at the sheer rage that will befall them.

If Salmond and/or Yes voters believe that the BBC is biased and dislike it because of that then why do they want to keep and use it as a basis for SBS?

Scotland will sort themselves out eventually if they vote for independence but anything historic like that will have short-term repurcussions.
The thing is that the world has gotten a lot more short-term orientated, especially with the media mediums today. Then, a lot of people vote for stability and self-interest. So I don't know if people will vote for the costs that setting up a new country would bring.
As for the English, I don't think the English government has been that great at understanding what goes on in other parts of the UK. Certainly with Northern Ireland, they just didn't understand the complexity of the situation there during the time of the Troubles and still don't really get it. You're probably not going to understand a Scottish yes voter either.
Personally, I kinda hope they get out, suppose it's just an Irish thing and you see the parallels of leaving Britain. Won't be too fussed either way though.

I've no idea what the coverage is like back home but every single Yes voter on my facebook or twitter hasn't bren nationalistic at all. It's been more about having a chance to enact real, actual change. I dunno more power to them, it's the first time in my life time I've seen a vote actually matter.
"Laugh when it all crumbles" is pretty petty tbh. Like I said I dunno what the coverage is like but regardless of different facts and things surely you can admit the likes of the Beeb would have a bit of an agenda? It's no different from the skewed reporting of anything else that happens. Know your source and it's influences.
Meh anyway. More power to them, if they vote Yes it's uncertain what will happen but exciting at the same time. If it's a No, then that's the vote and hopefully the campaign will give politics in the UK in general a shakeup.

It's the vocal one's who're annoying, as I said the ones who're trying to hijack no voters conferences and gatherings, or sending vitriolic abuse to anybody who so much as dare claim they're voting No.
Not petty at all to laugh when it goes down the pan for them, I wouldn't be laughing at every Scot I know (there's a few no voters I'd be pretty gutted for), I'd be laughing again at those vitriolic abusive Yes voters I've had the misfortune of coming across.

It is petty though because regardless of your selective reasoning at the end of the day you're laughing at the country. "Laugh when it all goes down the lpan except for that no voter who is pretty sound" doesn't really work does it? Regardless of what the vote is I hope it results in real change. So if it's a yes I hope Scotland becomes a really strong independent country, likewise if it's a no I hope the mainstream politics get enough of a scare to actually listen to the people.

I'm not being petty because I'm picking at one part of things that I've noticed. Sounds petty

I'd laugh at the people abusing No voters, abusing business leaders who're speaking out in favour of a no vote. Football terms, I laughed my arse off at the Liverpool fans who told all of us pre-Palace they were gonna win the league when they ended up finishing second. Meh, idc if you think it's petty, I'll gladly be petty with a smile on my face and a country that hasn't collapsed on itself. Personally think such a huge decision should require more than 50.1% of the votes to make it happen but at least it's easier than FPTP.

That's the beauty of democracy djed, majority rules
I dunno I'd wish them well no matter what the vote but I understand the football comparison I just think it's a bit dff when it comes to a country personally
