il just leave this here for you to peruse, a wee unionist policy seen as you don’t know any

Wow , the teachers and nurses are going on strike and the train workers are on strike in Scotland. This is not the unionist policies you promised , this is the news. Independence would just add to these ongoing worldwide problems not solve them.

Seriously? That's your argument? 
 

'We can't go independent because the future is unpredictable

Yes , looks a bit ropey to me and better to stay with what we know even if it's shite. But I am old and younger generation will decide what's best. I am emigrating abroad in next few years ( always been the plan ) so only real concern is that my pension will be paid and the way these numpties at the SNP spend and in the future will borrow money is alarming me.

Only trains running this week will be in the Central belt.None in the NE.
At least this bias would’nt happen if the SNP were in charge?

What's that got to do with the government? Genuinely? 
 

Strike action had been planned long before the rail was nationalised. 
 

And again; 

 

The best way to counter any dislike you have for NS or the SNP is to vote for independence.

There is no evidence of future costs to do anything , only estimates and they can go way over ( see ferries ) or be delivered on time within budget , but bankruptcy within 5 years sounds about right to me. An Irish man told me this at work one day as they had been through it and general opinion in Eire is that Scots are crazy to go for independence. 

Oh well if you put like that then the evidence is insurmountable, where’s your proof of bankruptcy as every single nation that has went independent hasn’t went bankrupt?, even tiny tiny countries like Luxembourg which has no oil, minerals, decent stuff to sell within there country?you heard from Irish man and your putting all your belief in that, fuck the thoughts on the 5.5 million Scots thoughts or the rest of the Irish, just 1 Irish dude, am converted, who is this Herodotus of which you speak?. 
did the wee Irish fellow look like this?

You sound like a hun, same hun rhetoric

It's not a business, it's an as and when you need it service provided by the taxpayer. It's not for profit. You've fallen right into the trap. 
 

It needs whatever money it needs. 
 

Every nation borrows money. Every single nation. 

And an independent Scotland would borrow more at a higher rate than anybody else to keep this ideal alive hence my initial statement " bankrupt within 5 years of independence"

Never been to Ireland North or South but worked with quite a few Irish guys in Scotland and that's what they were saying

Socialised healthcare isn't an ideal. Available in a fair few other European nations.

Hard to win an argument with a smart person but its damn near impossible to win one with a stupid person.

If Independence meant you could no longer use cash and it was to be only contactless/card payments, would you move to England, Caledonia?

You do realise it was the Scot’s who invented the Bank of England?

At the last referendum I noticed a big intellectual divide between those who admitted voting yes and those who voted no.

And we’re grateful for the evidence you’re providing.
