Not great arguments imo.

It doesn't matter. The point is to talk about something that is not the economy and not the total lack of ConLibDem coherent policy.
I was surprised that I quite liked Salmond's response to Cameron - he likes Cameron's talk of respect and looks forward to giving him the opportunity to demonstrate respect in his actions.
I mean, goading Cameron into backing up spin with action - simple but genius. Everyone knows that Cameron is basically incapable of backing anything he says with action.
On a lighter note, I wonder if Cameron will emphasise the Scots roots of his name by turning up in an inappropriate tartan?
Why wait Mr Cameron? If you have some proposals, put them on the table in time for 2014 and let the Scottish public decide what they prefer?Mr Cameron said the independence issue had to be dealt with simply, saying: "We have to settle that question before then going on and asking, I think quite legitimately, is there more that we can do to improve the devolved settlement?"Are there powers that could be devolved, how can we make the United Kingdom work better?"
igm - no surprise really - Salmond is good political operator - makes the rest of the UK politicians look as ineffective as they are
He runs rings round Cameron
TJ - not surprised Salmond can run rings round the Cameron. More surprised that I liked his response. Having met Salmond years ago, I've always found him an obnoxious little swine. Good political operator though.
Sadly I doubt Salmond is actually any more effective when it comes to it than Cameron, Minibrand or the other one.

...However, Britain is the name of the Island that Scotland inhabits, If Scotland wishes to leave Britain you are going to need quite a lot of ships and an uninhabited landmass somewhere...
We could build a ruddy great moat across the country. Call it the Disunion Canal.
It's been tried before. The Romans built a useful barrier to keep the barbarians out. We Scots were puzzled as to why they kindly did this for us as we were well capable of dealing with those barbarians. 🙂
Or in other words, no amount of logical argument is going to stop this process.
Scots are going to vote according to their existing beliefs about independence, and all the verbiage in the Murdoch press and scare mongering by local quislings is for nought.
