Countdown to the Referendum.
Personally I hope they don't leave us. I think most people here feel that.
But I am interested in those who are going to vote Yes. Salmond has given no firm detail on anything; he doesn't know what currency they would use or be allowed to use, etc. Every aspect of operating indepenently is this vague set of claims without hard and fast agreement by the people who can grant whatever it is. I can understand the sentiment of voting Yes but how can so many people put their faith in someone who just talks big actually without any legs to stand on? This really bothers me and I find myself constantly feeling cross about it, like these people are just being unintelligent in their idealism. Of course, we are being constantly bombarded with the campaigns' progresses so constantly stirred up.
If Independence is the right way to go, why not work through all this stuff ahead of campaigning so it can be said in good faith yes, we will be able to still use the pound £? Why not make sure what is on offer is not pie in the sky? Then hold a referendum on the basis of fact instead of fiction.
Even the Last Night of the Proms was rather sad as tonight Scotland (and actually Wales) did not join us for admittedly the songs all about England's Hope, Glory, and pleasant lands (perhaps they never should have but they always did). We did however sing Auld Lang Syne as usual, although Scotland was absent.
