I'm just telling you that your fellow stomach-munching, skirt-wearing, caber-tossing clans-folk will not vote for independence. All this jingoistic tub-thumping sounds fine echoing across the highlands and through the streets of Brigadoon, but as soon as the tax paying classes realise that their revenue burden will increase, the deeper end of the gene-pool will kick on and common sense will prevail.
Can you tell us why we should not be independent?
Originally posted by Sicilian SausageThe Brits pledge more autonomy for Scotland if the NO votes prevail. Is there any validity in the claim that taxes will go up if Scotland succeeds?
I'm really not arsed whether Scotland is given autonomous status or not, but you can be sure that if it is does happen, then prices will rise sharply both sides of the border. The powers that be will always cash in on us!
Other than that i really am indifferent.
Originally posted by sonhouseNot so sure about taxes. I'm just talking about large organisations cashing in at every given opportunity. It happened when we changed over from pounds shillings and pence to decimalisation. It happens whenever anything significant happens in the financial world of oil. Any large political change is excuse enough to pump them prices up. Way of the world.
