Mr Scruff, What specific questions have you asked that you haven't had a reply in any detail to? I may not be able to answer them all, but maybe the rest of the independence supporters on this site will. Things like fiscal issue's are still open to discussion, nothing has been decided, so ignore any scare story's about joining the Euro, as you said in your post you've seen models proposed, but that's all they are, proposals. As you said, you are in favour of staying in the union, that is your democratic right. So would you mind answering one of my questions? In your opinion what benefit does Scotland have within the union that it wouldn't have being independent? I can't agree with your view on patriotism, i am a scottish patriot and proud of it, name me one county in the civilised world whose people are not patriotic. One thing that i admire about the English is their patriotism, It hack's me of when they get England And Britain Mixed Up, but never the less they are patriotic.
