    Loads of people taking about independence ripping the beeb apart on Facebook (inaccurately).

    I want to say something but equally I don't want to end up quoted in a tabloid newspaper.

    "I want to say something," says a local BBC representative here in Manchester, who clarified, "[but] equally I don't want to end up quoted in a tabloid newspaper." Words like these show how truly divisive the issue of Scottish independence has become, even in England. More on that at 11.

    I liked what I've seen in the UK. But I have no idea why Scotland wants to be independent, so I'm withholding my vote.

    decade or more of economic and governmental uncertainty ftw!

    and dicking over the rest of the UK, but I was trying to come up with something that Scotland wouldn't like.

    Isn't the point about Scotland subsidizing the rest of the UK false? In fact, England does a lot of the subsidizing, which is why Scotland can get benefits that the rest of the UK doesn't have, like cheaper education.

    edit: point number four also... I'm pretty sure has no real backing.

    The subsidizing one is true as far as I know, we give money to Westminster then they give us less money back.

    Wings Over Scotland is so biased towards independence.

    As in Yes Scotland disowned them.

    iirc the argument is that Scotland gives 9.9% of the UK GDP (if you include tax from oil), and they get 10% back. So yeah it is false (as they are being subsidized by .1% of the GDP). Except this does not take into account population growth. And in which case they will end up be being subsidizing, subsidized even more, or sidelined (cant tell unless we watch what happens with the rapid immigration going into the UK). Which I think is another argument besides what Leo said.
