I wonder will David Cameron get another term as "the Hammer of the Scots".

Police Probe Scotland Independence 'Voter Fraud' Allegations!

Published on Sep 18, 2014
http://www.undergroundworldnews.com
Police are investigating allegations of voter fraud in the Scottish referendum in Glasgow, election officials have confirmed.
Colin Edgar from Glasgow City Council told Sky's Kay Burley police were called in after evidence emerged of 10 possible incidents of electoral fraud in the city.
The allegations appear to centre on attempts at personation at some polling stations.
Mr Edgar said: "We've had a number of suggestions over the course of the day that people have turned up at the polling station to vote and they appear to have voted already.
"This is called personation if it turns out to be what it actually is.
"So what's happening tonight is we know which boxes those votes went into and we know the numbers on the votes, so the police have asked us to identify those votes, to take them away, keep them for evidence and hand them to them."
Mr Edgar said presiding officers had alerted officials to incidents of possible electoral fraud.
"Somebody turned up to vote, they gave their name, the presiding officer went to cross off their name on their list of voters to give them a ballot paper and found that their name had already been crossed off and a ballot paper already issued to somebody who apparently had the same name."

It's a Scottish song about the Scots selling Scotland out to England.

Such a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation is a Scottish folk song whose lyrics are taken from an eponymous Robert Burns poem of 1791. It derides those members of the Parliament of Scotland who signed the Act of Union with England in 1707, contrasting their treachery to the country with the tradition of martial valor and resistance commonly associated with such historic figures as Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. It has continued to be associated with Scottish nationalism and also been referenced in other situations where politicians' actions have gone against popular opinion.

In the end it all came down to having to face the economic realities of a much poorer Scotland without the British taxpayers funding their welfare system and almost everything else.

It's the reason Northern Ireland sticks with the UK instead of uniting with the rest of Ireland.

John is a recognised authority on all things pertaining to Scotland and its people.

The North Sea Olive Oil and Salad Dressing gushers that come exploding up through the middle of those stilted platforms above the waves is what keeps the British economy afloat.

John knows this for a fact, and damned if I'm going to contradict him.

England gives billions of pounds every year to Scotland in handouts.

The Barnett Formula also means that relatively wealthy Scotland receives more public spending per head of population than every other region of the UK, including POORER Wales and the English regions (like the North East and North West) which are also poorer than Scotland.

Scotland also takes more from the Treasury, every year, than it puts in.

The "freebies" that Scots enjoy - such as free university education, free medical prescriptions and free care for the elderly - are all paid for by the English taxpayer despite the fact that the English taxpayer also has to pay for those things the Scots get free.

"Scottish" oil is only able to be brought up from the North Sea thanks to massive English subsidies and English-based companies like BP.

The amount that is spent every year on socialist Scotland's massively bloated, over-generous welfare system is THREE TIMES that of the total annual North Sea oil receipts.

It would have been interesting to see how Scotland would have been able to bail out its banks, RBS and HBOS, when they crashed in 2008 had it been an independent country at the time.  The cost of bailing those banks out was many times Scotland's entire GDP, so they were only able to be bailed out thanks to Scotland being part of the world's sixth-largest economy (fifth largest when it overtakes France soon).

Had Scotland been an independent nation state back in 2008 when its banks crashed it would have been stuffed.
