Terribly poor representation of the debate. A heavy bias towards No was displayed. And, Yes was hugely misrepresented with incomplete sound bites played over bagpipes and clips of braveheart. The producer and presenter should be ashamed of themselves.
EDMOIL Military? What for? To go loot Iraq? To do target shooting in Afghanistan? Without the Tony Blairs of England, an independent Scotland will not have to do such things. The only reason for a military in Scotland would be if history is any guide, to protect itself from England.
As an English person, I understand and respect why the Scottish want independence, but for sentimental reasons, I'm glad the voted against independence. Also I refuse to have Former United Kingdom on my passport, if you know what I mean.

After watching two 26min docu's about this topic it seems like the 'yes' and 'no' vote is a battle between the haves and the have nots. The poor wants an independent Scotland thinking things might be better off for them that way. The wealthy are saying, why rock the boat I'm doing pretty well as things are the moment.
What is UK, England yes, but UK has been a fable for a while now, who can deny that, if Canadians, Australians, and others can move on so do the Scottish, will not make any difference, in fact if you look at it economically and politically you will see both countries will benefit from it, England and Scotland.
its annoying to me that there are so many people out there whos only concern is money, that if scotland turned out £1000 poorer per head for a while after independence then it's not worth it, it's so short sighted and miserly, there is so much we could gain from independence and the risks are compareatively small, if joining america meant we would all be on average £1000 a year richer, would you do it? also everyone gets bogged down on policy as if a vote for independence is a vote for a certain set of policies, remember, its simply a vote on whether we should be allowed to decide our own policies.
the yes side seem to have real reasons for voting yes, the no side just sound like they are afraid of change... they don't seem to have any weight or passion in their message.
that fashion designer and those who say "nay" and call independence, a "fantasy" have forgotten the scottish fierce spirit for self-determination and cowed by 300 years of english domination. They have forgotten their heritage. FOR SHAME!
***** english people can fly the red and white all day long. noone cares. its that the english wants the scots and welsh to stay in the UK that bothers me. they want to rule over as much people and therefore maintain political relevance for as long as possible. England used to rule over a vast part of the world. But now in the modern age, England has very little political relevance on the international stage. It lacks the military power of the US or the rising economic strength of the BRIC nations. If it lost Scotland, it would be a even smaller nation that noone gives a fuck about and would ignore.
Phyiogambit It joined fucking 300 years ago and for more than economic reasons. Religion was just as important reason back then. Now is the modern times and scotland does not need to prop up the UK government.
So many childish comments in here. Scotland isn't a colony. We are part of the UK. Many Scots are proud to be British and rightly so. The nonsense that we are subjugated by England is absolute rubbish. Scotland played a major part in the British Empire (ask India) Too many people jump on a bandwagon thinking we all want to break up the UK yet it could not be further from the truth. Proud to be Scottish Proud to be British
it would be very sad to lose Scotland from the UK, but understand totally they would want to control their own country....it's perfectly natural....the oil is a godsend to them and gives them a real chance to be free, if they take the chance
If Scotland becomes independent, do you want to restore the Scottish monarchy? If so, I would like to propose "John Douglas Stuart, 21st Earl of Moray" as "King John of Scotland". He is a direct descendent of "King James V of Scotland" and "Robert the Bruce".
Independence for everyone else in the world except MY empire. I'll latch on to Falklands, I'll keep a chunk of Ireland. Our Queen is still the Australian/Canadian peoples' darling! Yes yes I know. It goes much deeper than that. Still, from the viewpoint of an outsider, I can't help but savor the thought of the British "empire" crumbling at its core.
Tricky Nicky forced on u, lol u were Bankrupt at the time of the union by ur own poeple not because of England, it just worked out better for england if we joined forces to fight France an have u bailed out by France and then attack us. so either way u benefited a great deal out of the union even whole territories were named after scotland.... Not to mention the introduction of industry and big commercial cities
This is a turning point for Britain it won't be called the United Kingdom anymore as Scotland will soon be Independent, N Ireland will soon join Ireland so Wales and England will have to be called rUK (rest of the UK) or little Britain.
As a right wing capitalist I want Scotland to be independent. So, the rest of Britain can see a 2nd Greece in Glasgow. Everything is free till someone has to pay for it.

If Scotland doesn't go independent, we are fucked. VOTE YES!
So, are you willing to increase the Scottish taxpayers' money for creating the Scottish military?
EDMOIL Military? What for? To go loot Iraq? To do target shooting in Afghanistan?
Without the Tony Blairs of England, an independent Scotland will not have to do such things. The only reason for a military in Scotland would be if history is any guide, to protect itself from England.
What are you talking about? Do you think the British military should stay in the independent Scotland? No.
Don't worry my love :x
We'll be free...
...and be proud of your defenseless country.
As an English person, I understand and respect why the Scottish want independence, but for sentimental reasons, I'm glad the voted against independence.

Why do the credits for a different video start coming up at 11:19? :/
Scotland independent? Feels like happiness!

Scotland didn't find oil, it was discovered in the north sea by norwegians

+Carl Darl The irony being that independence would hit the poor hardest.

+Sam Ghalyoun How would either of them benefit from it economically?
The NO campaign has yet to make a valid proper arguement, and they know it.
its annoying to me that there are so many people out there whos only concern is money, that if scotland turned out £1000 poorer per head for a while after independence then it's not worth it, it's so short sighted and miserly, there is so much we could gain from independence and the risks are compareatively small, if joining america meant we would all be on average £1000 a year richer, would you do it?

"Yes" to independent Scotland! Greetings from Kazakhstan!
wote yes for Scotland
if scotland get independence what would be its official language scot or gaelic or both ?
Seeing as 99 percent speak Scots, that will obviously continue whether Gaelic is official
***** isn't english a french version of scots?????
Kingslea Hearne
99% do not speak Scots, at best it would be around 85% can speak it to a varying degree
How are the Scots going to pay back their share of the British Sovereign Debt. I hope they have thought this through. Good luck to them.
Are Scottish politicians generally honest, or on the take? That would be the main issue for me.
Scotland can do so much, have faith in yourselves!
Independence will happen, but what will happen after that? That's the real question.
that fashion designer and those who say "nay" and call independence, a "fantasy" have forgotten the scottish fierce spirit for self-determination and cowed by 300 years of english domination. They have forgotten their heritage. FOR SHAME!
have u forgotten why Scotland joined the union in the first place, ill give u a hint Bankrupt by stupid politicians and an ignorant people

Don't confuse England with Britain or the U.K.; they are three different things.

yea i know. England is part of Britain and UK. Britain includes British isles. And UK includes British isles and Northern ireland.
So many childish comments in here.

Did that farmer in the north say he was 36 or 56?
I thought 46, but that's an awfy hard paper run if he's 36.
The Jocks won´t go independent, and thank goodness for that united we stand!
Lord Ashcroft thinks the Jocks will be independent soon.

The Yes side leadership is patently uninspiring.
If Scotland becomes independent, do you want to restore the Scottish monarchy?
If so, I would like to propose "John Douglas Stuart, 21st Earl of Moray" as "King John of Scotland". He is a direct descendent of "King James V of Scotland" and "Robert the Bruce".
It won't be ruled by Edinburgh it still be ruled by Westminster
This is a great take on a big decision. Even outside the whole decision I am not sure what I'd choose.. Great work!
Post-Yes, Scotland will have to hold the hand of big cousin Brussels and the Bank of England. Salmond is not offering real independence.
Just placed a £5000 bet on a Yes vote, to cover what I think I might lose if it happens but oddly I would rather lose the bet even at 100/30
Independence for everyone else in the world except MY empire. I'll latch on to Falklands, I'll keep a chunk of Ireland. Our Queen is still the Australian/Canadian peoples' darling!
Yes yes I know. It goes much deeper than that. Still, from the viewpoint of an outsider, I can't help but savor the thought of the British "empire" crumbling at its core.
UNITED we stand. Divided we fall. UNITED KINGDOM will never be united if anyone breaks away from this only Union in the world
UK was made by english invaders and oppressors of the scots, irish, and welsh!
A union that was forced! It has never worked for Scotland. Time to go it alone!
well its not the only union in the world, now is it? (USA, EU, African union ect)
.
Tricky Nicky forced on u, lol u were Bankrupt at the time of the union by ur own poeple not because of England, it just worked out better for england if we joined forces to fight France an have u bailed out by France and then attack us. so either way u benefited a great deal out of the union even whole territories were named after scotland.... Not to mention the introduction of industry and big commercial cities
All the very best wishes for 'YES' campaign
Who cares what celebrity thinks there no smarter than us!
This is a turning point for Britain it won't be called the United Kingdom anymore as Scotland will soon be Independent, N Ireland will soon join Ireland so Wales and England will have to be called rUK (rest of the UK) or little Britain.
Vive l'Écosse Libre!
Vous vaincrez, c'est dans votre nature.
J'espère qu'ils ne se ferront pas avoir par les campagnes de peur comme nous autre au Québec..
I would like to see Scotland free and independent if it does not become socialist.
I'm a Scottish unionist
Power to the people not a useless queen..
As a right wing capitalist I want Scotland to be independent. So, the rest of Britain can see a 2nd Greece in Glasgow. Everything is free till someone has to pay for it.
