I think it was the deputy mayor who lost the election to become mayor

i've had plenty of incompatibility between 2 version of Word in the past.

"The desktop environments (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, ect.) on Linux are ugly, slow, buggy, and generally shitty. But, as a Linux zealot, you have no choice, thus you embrace them, warts and all."

pot, kettle black. you've obviously never used a linux desktop.

They should just pay the taxes in the country it was earned, not set up elaborate tax avoidance schemes. the world would be a better place if all the global companies paid the tax they should.

when are you moving to ISIS?

They'd do better to ban vacuum cleaners that still use bags to collect the dust

yep, we'll have to find and pillory the ones that support Scotland staying in but want to be out of Europe

here's what could happen if they don't take their share http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new...

Did you actually read the article you posted? This is in the first paragraph of the said article..

'Secret plan to let [the] Nazis take Scotland' claiming that 'Scotland would have been abandoned to the Germans in the event of a Second World War invasion, according to new research'. None of this is true, not in any way. It's a 'factoid' – 'an item of unreliable information that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact'. [Oxford English Dictionary] The problem is that this 'fact' has since been used frequently to justify a 'Yes' vote in the referendum, by re-writing history and, in some cases, pandering to anti-English sentiment, and it's been attached to my name, as the person who did the research.

I think you'd better read the rest of the article as soon as possible

no, you have to be in the EU for that and they wont be.

"UK is probably better served with Scotland staying with the pound than switching to the Euro."

i doubt it. Remember Salmond and Strugeon claiming "we're being bullied" when all the parties in UK said they will not allow a currency union. Imagine if there was a currency union and if Scotlands economy either overheated or collapsed and the only cure was to inflate/deflate the currency (or play with interest rates) but those actions would disrupt the rest of the UK, so its refused, just imagine what they will bleat then. That is why a currency union would be refused by the UK

you need to read this then http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/n...

"'they'll try and use their current position of being British to just seamlessly slot into NATO and the EU' This is because we are part of these unions and there's no reason to think we'd be kicked out" - the EU has already told them that they cannot do this. once out of the UK, they are out of the EU. Its even in teh scottish papers http://www.scotsman.com/news/p...

you need to get more info on this. All other countries that have areas within them wanting independence e.g. Spain, will veto Scotlands leap into the EU without going through all the necessary legal entry procedures. Once Scotland leaves the UK they are no longer EU citizens.

"Scotland will no longer be subsidizing the UK" - i think you are trolling, anyway london virtually subsidizes the rest of the UK on its own
