Personally, I think there are bigger issues myself but I certainly don't believe that Osborne's speech was 'insulting and demeaning' as Salmond claims. These are issues that need discussing.

I think two of Salmond's key policies – a currency union and automatic membership of the EU - have been blown out the water and his childish response when this has been pointed out is scary. It's like he refuses to engage on the really serious issues - is that not worrying?
Shona wrote:Salmond's Plan A was for an Independent Scotland to use the euro as it's currency. However, the instability in the euro zone, fate of countries like Ireland and Greece and the unpopularity of the euro in Scotland killed off Plan A. So here we are with Plan B - a currency union with the rest of the UK. In other words, a fiscal and banking union. No way would Salmond be permitted to raise taxes, borrow, spend and run up debt as he pleases as it would affect the stability of the currency, exchange rates, etc. The Bank of England would be in charge.

They will almost certainly get the boot at the next election but if you lot give it the swerve they will be in power down here forever!
