Are you serious? I get the impression you're a troll on the wind up.

These people exist Damien, although they are a minority. Scottish separatism has its lunatic fringe, same as any cause. And as with many causes the ones who feel they need to shout the loudest sometimes turn out to be the ones trying to cover up their own sense of inadequacy. In Jimi's case, for example, he is English, and perhaps feels he needs to campaign for separatism in order to make up for all that ancestral raping and pillaging.

Oh the irony of an Englishman calling Scots traitors because they look at things a bit more deeply then the usual puddle depth the SNP like things to be.

He's also assuming that everyone who posts here is Scottish..

I prefer deep fried chocolate coated jammy dodgers

That'll confuse Jimi as much as me being a Celtic supporting Unionist.... and I'm not unique.

Thank God it's only a small minority of us who can link how to vote to what football team is supported.

You must be a troll. Who actually types in Scottish?

Out of curiosity once Scotland is 'free' will you be demanding we invade Norway as payback for Viking raids?

Norway is one of the very few countries the English have not invaded. It would be a shame not to complete a set really....

I read/heard a while ago that if Scotland leaves the UK it'll become Europe's poorest county and will only survive because it will get handouts from the eu.

Whoever wrote/said that is an idiot. It's simply wrong.

My wife is scottish (living in England with me) Her family (living in Scotland) and of a similar age to 'Jimi' don't share his views. Whilst they don't especially *like* the English, they certainly know what's best for them and being typical cautious sceptical Scottish folk, they think Mr Salmond's days are numbered, and come the day of the vote he'll become an amusing footnote in history. Whilst I realise that it's not a representation of the Scottish people as a whole. I can say that the only exception to this viewpoint in their whole family is the 17 yr old who has some vague idea of Braveheart and suchlike (presumably why Salmond insisted the younger people had a say) Everyone over that age in the family will be voting to stay in the UK.

And yes sadly scottish people who live in Scotland do write like the Broons (god knows why) but I see it all the time on FB

We do? Bloody Facebook

I've lived here my entire life but my family is scattered all over Scotland, England, Ireland and yes the aforementioned evil Viking country Norway. We all think it's a ridiculous idea and view Salmond much the same as your Wife's family. A fool who will only get votes from other fools.

We're proud of our heritage but to us we live in a region of the UK. When asked where we're from we say Scotland but it's no different that someone saying they are from Cumbria or Linconshire as far as i'm concerned. None of us were alive hundreds of years ago to be traitors.
