Braveheart 2.0
Can Scotland survive without UK support? Or do burdensome UK policies mean it will be better off on its own? Can Scotland’s oil resources guarantee the welfare of the Scottish people? Should the Scots vote for independence – and if so, which currency will they use, and will they be able to afford their own army? CrossTalking with Kenneth Gibson, William Bain and David Kopel on Feb. 6.

My relatives the Rothschilds will not allow English independence because our City of London global crime HQ operates from England.....and English politics might become too democratic for the oligarchs to control.
Is it not obvious that the English might vote to abandon our investments and cheap labour supply in Mr Soroses EU? We will make the UK and EU work .....the masses do not know enough to govern wisely in a way that keeps the oligarchs in power!
Democracy is a fantasy.... but a very convenient way of creating a dictatorship which APPEARS to give the people some political choice.
Well said Art, I found it quite comical that the Labour guy used the BBC as an example of a shared value. Our national broadcaster has nothing remotely approaching Crosstalk, or some of the other RT programmes, which offer a real debate or dissection of an issue. The nearest is Dateline London which manages to discuss three or four major issues in twenty odd minutes, each of the four commentators therefore getting about 2 minutes on each subject. Any other coverage has a ridiculous BBC slant on it, and opinion masquerading as news by virtue of loaded terms used in reportage. Today's Radio5 reporting from Moscow on Syria, Putin etc would be laughable if it didn't give such a stupid impression.
Edinboro? Where's that? And where does William get his hair cut?
"Your" national broadcaster is a global service very similar to Fox and almost certainly heavily biased in favour of Washington and Israel. To force people to fund it at four billion pounds every year is an attack on the human rights and democracy of British people.
When will anyone be allowed to ask why the English cannot have independence from the rest of the UK if the Irish and Scots are given the opportunity.? And why can the others have national assemblies while there is no question of the English having one?
Both the Scottish Politicians are clueless on economics and real democracy. For Kenneth seems to think that the 15% of decisions which are really made in Scotland instead of Brussels gives real independence!?! William has fully drunk the cool-aid in believing that the EU is actually a viable entity!?! Believing that being part of the EU confers financial stability!?! How daft can these two be!!!
This is hilarious.....Scotland leaving the UK is not one of the biggest stories of the century, not even of the year! The financial problems in Greece are more newsworthy than Scotland. As for the nuclear debate, Scotland does not have an independent nuclear capability, they have the submarine base where the nuclear subs are staioned and serviced, which can be moved to England in a relatively short period of time.
As for Scottish independence being good for the people of this planet!!!! most will not have heard of Scotland and less will be able to pick it out on a map. Claiming there is no 'free press' is a very ignorant and juvenile thing to write, just read or listen to the lies that spew from Mr Slamond and the rest of the SNP, they are hoping Scotland sleep walks into disaster.
Wake up Scotland.....the oilfields are NOT in Scottish waters so this trillion pound reserve of money for you is a myth, a population of 6 million cannot sustain the revenue for the standard of living you enjoy, which is subsidised by the English (look up the 'Barnett Formula'). You will have to accept the Euro if you wish to accede to the EU and this will make Scotland a more expensive place to live than England with no control over tax and budget as per the new fiscal union for the Eurozone.
Art1001.....this is not a Hollywood movie!

The breakup of the UK is potentially one of the biggest news stories of the century that will have global implications not least to the debate about nuclear disarmament and how it would shake up the UN Security Council. I think that the world will look on Scottish Independence as a very welcome development for the good of all peoples of this planet.
Excellent too that Russia Today is starting to give it prominence as they see it as a big story as well. Also much of the NO vote is based on what is a very biased state broadcaster BBC that control the news and opinion for the benefit of London. We really do not have a free press and that is a major handicap. The internet is the only way we can get the truth and our message across.
