    GFY Brits !

    Dear British people of GFY,

    What do you think about the upcoming vote on Scottish independence from the UK ? How do you think the vote will go ? Do you even care either way ? Is it doomed for disaster if it is a 'Yes' vote ?

    It's going to be a long ass Summer listening to these politicians every day talking absolute shit about the subject. Bottom line is, you can't trust anything that any of them say.

    I think if i vote it will be 'Yes' simply for the fact that i believe we should be an independent country 100%. But will it be a good move for us economically ? More than likely not...

          Im waiting for Salmond to start giving interviews dressed as Braveheart.

          Be careful what you wish for, regional politicians who become more powerful, think they are gods and go on one hell of a spending spree.

          If the people of Scotland want to split, great go for it, no one can tell them they cant, but the rest of the UK will not accept a currency union. No control over taxation/spending but sharing a currency.. Doesnt work.

          And you wont get in the Euro. Spain wont let you, cause of Catalunya and the Basques

            Ultimately, i believe that will be the deciding factor. As it stands, it's still unclear if that would be the case at all...

              I'm not a Brit, but I've been living here for eight years. Like Eddy said, I thought the whole thing about the pound not being an option after independence is going to throw a 'spanner in the works', so to speak.

              I had a chat with my partner about this the other day, saying that if this were in the States, I doubt any independence conversation would have even made it this far.

                      Why couldn't they have pound? Any country can have their own currency. If that pound is somehwhat related to GBP then you could simply create new Scottish pound.

                          Somebody somewhere is going to be swimming in money like Scrooge McDuck. The rest of Scotland is going to be scraping by on a turnip a week.

                                Not a Brit but I prefer independent Ukraine, same i think about Scotland. This speech is long, but I watched and agreed.

                                      Do you think it's a good idea to get rid of any British pounds £ £ £ before it will happen? I'm just thinking the next day it will happen it may go down a bit.

                                        Er, no you can't... Scotland's central banks are basket cases. Take RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS... the 2 biggest) they have been bailed out several times by the UK Govt and taxpayers of England and Wales and are still owned in part by the UK taxpayer. Any future financial crisis could not be bailed out for a wholly independent Scotland alone, their banks would collapse, and as an English taxpayer I would be mightily pissed off helping Scotland get out of it... the Scottish economy is also mainly state driven which will lead to disaster. It's not sour grapes from me, I would be extremely upset if the Scots were to break up the union... it's not in their real interests... they already have enough devolved power to set their own local fiscal policies and laws, much as any state in the USA would... they are pretty much independent of Westminster but a currency union for a completely independent country is unacceptable to piggy back onto one of the world's major currencies just like that... and joining the Euro would mean Scots losing total fiscal autonomy to the EU and the unelected bureaucrats of Brussels - what price their "freedom" then? It would be a disaster in the making for Scottish people... sure, work on more independent means of devolution if they must. the one man I loathe with every fiber is Alex Salmond, who has a political agenda... I feel he really does hate the English, though I am probably being a little paranoid...

                                        I have family in Scotland and Wales as well as being from the far south west of England, my roots are Welsh and Cornish primarily. We feel more ignored by Westminster down our part of England by central government than the Scots... as the recent flood crisis showed... I say Independence for the Cornish. We are a proud celtic people!

                                          Joining Euro is not losing your freedom. And many free countries wanted and still want to join it. Nothing to do with freedom.

                                            It is losing your monetary policy freedom.

                                            Spain and Ireland were booming 2005-2008 France and Germany were not, so interest rates were kept low to keep the larger economies from reccession. No way of cooling the Spanish/Irish economies and they went mental.

                                            Spains economy was in pretty good shape, but interest rates kept dropping and you were seeing 25% a year added on housing prices. That had never happened before in Spain.

                                              Basically England, wales and n Ireland would underwrite the Scottish banks... much like the poor Germans have had to do with Spain, Greece & Portugal... it's unacceptable.

                                              Read the last few paragraphs of this latest article to understand more about an unstable currency union and the fact the rest of Britain would be better suited with a currency union with Europe or even the USA than Scotland... it's just not feasible! Salmond is a nationalist nutjob!

                                              utter madness!

                                                I cannot see the breaking up of the Union being a good thing for anyone - I'm sure that the Scots will vote "no", I do wonder though if they do vote "yes", will Scotland turn into another Northern Ireland? - there are a lot of proud Brits in Glasgow for example - Rangers fans love flying the Union Jack.

                                                Roll on the EU vote, it cannot come quick enough.

                                                  the French, Dutch or Greeks, whoever in the Eu, those govts do NOT have the right to up or lower interest rates, something Britain has been able to do, to allow it to align with teh economy of the country in relation to other trading partner... as has been mentioned, Ireland, Spain and Greece were unable to raise funds or change interest rates once they had been locked in with the currency union... there is no freedom for those countries, one which went totally bankrupt and close to anarchy because of it... (it didn't help that the Greeks just don't collect and pay their taxes... unlike northern economies) but that is the folly of the EU.

                                                  Britain would have gone under in 2008, we still owe far more in relation to what we are making compared to some of the basket cases of Europe, incl Italy and Spain... yet can service our debt OUR way (Ok, it didn't help that fucking Labour tried spending their way out of it in 2008 under that clueless oaf Gordon Brown creating MORE debt) but at least we had the option to try that and were not imposed under by a rigid set of rules.

                                                  I say again - what price freedom?

                                                                    Totally agree, i cant see a further divide of the UK being beneficial for Scotland or the rest of the UK but it will be interesting to see what happens.

                                                                    In regards to Scotland keeping the pound (stop me if i'm being totally naive here) but cant any country adopt any other countries currency? Andorra for example uses the Euro but they are not a member of the EU?

                                                                    And surely the decision to move naval ship building to Scotland would have to be overturned
                                                                    if they were to gain independence as we would effectively be outsourcing to a "foreign" country? Which begs the bigger question.. would we still share military resources?

                                                                      Scotland could become a very nice country free from the racist UKIP / Tory nonsense of England.

                                                                              I just wish things were more clear from both sides. But that will never happen as their will be too much lying over the coming months to even know what the actual truths are...

                                                                                          But his bully boy tactics in the currency debate makes you think there's not a chance they would force Scotland to have a seperate currency, and in a way could force a major backtrack from Cameron after the referendum.

                                                                                          I just wish things were more clear from both sides. But that will never happen as their will be too much lying over the coming months to even know what the actual truths are...
