    We've seen some examples in recent political campaigns, and the results are always embarrassing. Avoid using vitriolic language whenever possible, and you will keep your friends — and your dignity.

    With just about everyone realistically disenfranchised from modern day politics unless actively working for a party or pressure group I'd say the average person whether they be born in England,Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland has little or no say in our country. We are forced to listen to the daily drivel of what these people want from there own little perspectives and Alex Salmond being no better or worse than Milliband, Clegg or Cameron. To say a Scotsman has less say than an Englishman in day to day politics is risible. Non of us has any real say as non of the parties stick to their manifesto pledges we just vote so when it comes to independence I see no real reason to separate the union was formed back in 1707 by to all intents and purposes a Scotsman so I'd be happier just letting it be instead of all the name calling and tub thumbing by socialists who want to improve my world. I've been to China, Russia, Cuba and a can honestly say they really aren't better off infact worse off so the hard left doesn't appeal to me one bit. The far right is no better although not as easy to find on a country basis I struggle to think of a fascist state but would accept there may be one. The only countries I see running reasonably are the relatively democratic moderate ones. So my reason for voting No would be to stop the lunatics running the asylum .

    True enough but not the ones wearing the snug fitting jackets and with the cushioned wallpaper in their rooms :0))

    Why am I not a bit surprised that you read the really racist Britain First which is basically a reinvented BNP, going by those in charge of it?

    My father, who was a Nationalist, fought and was wounded in the second world war. My grandfather, who was not a Nationalist, but supported the Liberal party when it used to be a home-rule party, was wounded at Gallipoli in the Ist world war. Your rather stupid sweeping assumptions suggest that the only battles you ever fought in are here online, under an assumed identity. You do yourself no favours.
