Alastair Darling will launch the ‘no’ campaign against Scottish freedom in Edinburgh in two weeks time. Forth One broke the news that Darling will kick off the “Better Together” bid to maintain the repression of the Scottish nation with a speech in his own constituency on June 25.
Well they did say they wanted to stop the campaign from going down the glitzy route…

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”

Scotland can fuck off!!
Can the English have a say?
You just did. No point in wasting money on a further vote the outcome of which is certain.
Basically no one in economically active part of the Union cares whether Scotland choose to fuck off to the EURO and try independence or not
BYE !! Turn the lights off on the way out.
Within five years of President Salmond taking over, the Scottish currency will be the neep.
why hasn’t that bloke been selected for GB team for that fighting sport thingy?
what the fk is that all about?
someone to win a medal and we choose Tony Uselesstrousers?
WTF
Quite agree – and they cant get their own fucking currency too – try the Euro!
They can ask for their money back – the money they bribed the Scots with to form the union in the first place.
The term we use these days is ‘bail out’
Danegeld
I’m impartial – I don’t care where Scotland fucks off to, so long as it fucks off.
Agreed Baldy. I hope that the Scotch vote for independence and then England will be free of these haggis e*.a.t.ing barstewards.
They are nothing but feckin le.e.ches.
I wish anrew Murray all the best of British this afternoon.
As Murray said when asked who he supported for the World cup: “Anybody but England.”
I never did like his mints
He only walks like that when he’s serving, not when getting ready to receive.
Yes the rest of the Union should get a vote too. By restricting it to the Scotch there is always the danger that they will vote to stay in and continue to suckle off the teet of the English taxpayer.
Alternative Slogan
“Let’s Keep Scrounging off the English!”
was too honest?
Keep Illegitimate Spendthrift Scotch Moaners Yonder And Really Save England or, in acronym form, KISS MY ARSE
Fenian, Unionist, Catholic or Kirk – Oil Financed Fiefdom” – FUCK OFF.
We should go into business together.
Clearly we could make a killing.
Might be able to make some money too.
They do not do honesty in Scotland, if they did then the sign once you cross the border would say:-
“Welcome to Scotland, the UK´s largest council estate”
I wish New Darien all the best in it’s future.
Probably not covered in their History lessons – just like all the times where it’s been Scottish ‘royalty’ wanting Union.
Remarkably similar to all the Scottish politicians coming down here who want to maintain Union so they can keep scrounging from England, while imposing laws on England that they refuse to have in Scotland.

no no no no no no no no no no no to voting against staying in the uk. Big sign on the border Missing you already
Are we really better together? From where many people in England stand, it appears that the Scots have been taking them for a ride for years.
Cameron said the it’s good that the Falkland islanders are having a referendum on their future governance.
I say the UK wants a Referendum on Europe.
But Cameron says you don’t want a referendum on the EU just now.
Can we have a referendum on whether Camorons head looks better on the end of a pike?
Hang on! Isn’t Cameron a Scottish name?
I can confirm it is indeed.
As an Englishman in Scotland, I think independance could work but the current plans by the SNP are awful!
You are assuming we would be retaining a customs union and permitting free movement?
You reckon? There’s a lot of Scotch regiments, RAF and Navy bases, BBC staff, HMRC, ship builders, NHS staff and MPs who will be out of a job come independence day. Plus the Barnett formula that pays for all the excessive social and educational payouts in Scotchland would cease. It’ll become Greece MKII but only worse within hours.
How come every man and his dog gets a parliament and a referendum, except the English?
Our job is just to pick up the tab.
The result will be 40% in favour, again. There is no majority in Scotland for independence and hasn’t been for 400 years.
Alec is after devo-max and nothing more.
Precisely + Many
Really he wants Mad Max
Alex is after his own Learjet so he can jet about the globe like a real national leader instead of leader of Scotland’s Regional Council.
Alex hates the English. And so do many of his compatriots. Hates ‘em. Don’t know what happened to him when he was young. Maybe his father poisoned him in his turn. Perhaps some English chap took the piss out of his accent on a school trip to London. We’ll never know. The awful place is full of little Scotlanders wrapping themselves in the flag.
This is not a bargaining position by the S&P. I fully expect Scotland to vote to go it alone. And will be very surprised if they don’t.
Scotland will, initially, do well. There’ll be a big surge in national pride. A lot of second and third generation Canadians and yanks coming back to holiday. One or two of ‘em in influential positions in big corporations may use their influence to site some factories there. They’ll probably renege on their share of the UK national debt thus giving ‘em a clean slate. And they do have, as they constantly remind anybody who will listen, a shit-load of oil. Scotland will do fine for a bit. But I fully expect them to cram an Ir*i*sh style boom and bust into the first 20 years after independence too.
Twenty years from now they’ll be wandering the corridors of Europe and the US and the IMF with their begging bowls just like the Greeks.
They’ll be like a nation of chav lottery winners. They’ll squander the lot. Guaranteed. Just you watch
The important thing is to properly secure the border.
Alex Salmond has the Gestapo look about him.
I beg to differ.
If Chavez can ruin a country with vast amounts of Oil, Salmond can do even more harm!
Some lefty numpty on CIF was saying how successful and democratic Chavez has been.
Only a left wing apologist could excuse a dictator because he claims to represent ‘the people.’
The differences between Hugo Chav and Bobby Mugabe is only one of oil revenues.
Vastly falling oil revenues, as his political appointments (mates) to run the oil companies work as well as expected!
Well he’s dead soon and then the leftists will fight over who gets to own the slaves (sorry free Venezuelans).
I like Chavez – he causes the Septics to have a conniption fit every time he opens his mouth.
Plus, he keeps getting elected in reasonably free and fair elections – he may be a socialist loon, but he does hold power legitimately no matter what.
The problem for Venezuelans, as for so many other peoples, is that their choice isn’t between socialism and capitalism, but between socialism and oligarchy.
Some time ago, I was visiting some of my ex’s relatives in Co.Kerry. I was in the bar of the small Hotel where I was staying, when an American fellow came and announced that he was looking for the ranch in West Cork where his family came from . Next day he came back crestfallen announcing the ‘ranch’ he had visited was just nothing but G*dd*m bog and water. This is what awaits those coming back to Scotchland.
Co. Kerry is in Scotland?
Yep Devo max is his goal. He becomes the big cheese with the power to control all the money sent in by the English Taxpayer.
Except it should be called Bailout Max.
Call Me Dave should have the balls to prevent Salmong and his Scots separatist party from having the luxury of serial Saltaire willy waving at the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Salmong thinks that a prolonged celebration 700 years after Bannockburn is needed before he will let the simple folk vote.
Only the SNP think that giving 16-17 year olds the chance to vote, when virtually every mature democracy restricts the franchise to adults.
What plans are there to secure the border to stop mass migration south?
There’s a 30p toll gate.
No deep fried mars bars available in England
That should do it southbound only .
There’s a chain of breweries planned along the border. It should hold up most of them, and if that fails, there will be a 50 mile ‘no frying’ zone.
England and Scotland.
Together forever.
We’re on a “roll”.
Not now darling.
Run all Jocks thru.
I thought half of your army was actually Scottish?
We done them later.
Salmond and his ‘Little Scotlander’ party think it’s unfair they are governed from 600 miles away in Westminster.
Fuck me how do they think a Siberian feels being governed by politicians based in Moscow?
Grateful. The further away the better.
Its 5000 miles from Honolulu to Washington.
And Alex needs to remember its even further to Strasbourg than London.
Some Siberians were actually governed from Chelsea until 2008.

And then the nightmare starts, Shetland Islands demand independence, Orkney islands demand independence and why not?, it’s all tribal Alex.
Meanwhile back on the Euro farm we have a United Germany.
Funny that innit.
What would you have done after 70 years of the commies sitting in your front room? It was a no brainer the “eastise” would choose to look west – and the latter are still paying for it.
Bercow allowing Hunt to be called a liar!!!!!!!!! in HoC?????
Which Labour constituency does Bercow represent?
Sarah Milican on now?
The constituency of cold porridge – thick, stodgy and useless.
Utterly ourageous behaviour by the speaker. Twice he has allowed Hunt to be called a liar by the spiteful Bryant – and he produces a quite nasty and rude put down of Anna Soubry.
Not good enough – Bercow should step down
I just can’t believe it ‘a non’. I was disgusted with Birkcow. How much longer can this stoopid little d.w.a.r.f. carry on dishon..o.u.ring the ancient role of Sque..a.ker? He’s becoming as der..a..n.ged as his smelly wife.
In the event that the Scottish vote “yes” to independence has it been decided how the UK’s national debt of one-and-a-bit triilion quid will be divided up between the two former partners?
Yes.
England will get all of it.
And I would be very surprised if they didn’t get at least a £10 billion bung for their ‘Bottom drawer’.
England will get it all but just look at it as the bargain of the millenium.
… despite the fact that it was Scotch banks and Scotch politicians who caused most of it.
Men wearing girls skirts should be run through.
Fucking perverts.
Fuck Rangers off.
It’s hard to believe that Bryant was once a vicar. Spite and hubris are not usually the traits required.
Just as hard to believe that Bercow was once a Concervative mind.
They were nothing of anything except legends in their own minds.
Are they not a bit premature demolishing the Red Road flats?
Very much looking forward to seeing Jock suffocate under the weight of their portion of the national debt. No London to save you soon fuckers!
London being the casino where the whole lot was racked up in the first place.
Salmond has just thanked Leveson for referring to Westminster as the English parliament.
What about the Welsh?
That Mr Cameron is now suggesting that if we vote no to the referendum then as a special prize he will let us control 70% of our own money.
What a kind generous and thoughtful man he truly is.
