The sort of negativity that is now turning the tide the Yes camp's way. Other sparsely populated countries manage just fine but Scots aren't innovative enough to survive independently in the modern world.
More scaremongering; they're painting pictures of expensively manned borders, the likes of which don't exist between the countries of the EU on mainland Europe.
The old price of a stamp argument is the same one Brian Wilson trotted out in the 1970s. The world has moved on, communications have moved on, the Royal Mail, as described, exists in name only. Communications in the populated area is already being cherry picked by a host of private organisations.
The cost of posting to/from remote areas will come under pressure no matter what the outcome of the referendum... Keep listening to the scarey stories
