Oh don't forget,

Alex Salmond is facing accusations of hiding the full legal reality behind the Scottish Government’s assurances that an independent Scotland would enjoy fast-tracked membership of the EU

What's the truth on that then?

There is no cover up by Westminster. And the reality, the fact is, that Scotland has no agreement to use the Pound in a currency union. Fact. Salmond has no idea what current an independent Scotland would use. He would like to use the Pound, since he found using the euro would be an unpopular and unwise choice (although that's what he said they would use before he change his mind). But using the Pound in a currency union is only on his Wish list along with all the other implausible ideas. The word is that Salmond is desperately working on Plan B, which is the Panama option, as a last resort. Salmond really is badly baking an inedible cake to try and ram down the throats of the Scottish electorate.

So the Sunday Herald article is a pack of lies?

Is that what you are saying?

And why are you raving about cake? Have you now added Marie Antoinette to the list of historical despots you are fond of comparing Alex Salmond to?

So the Sunday Herald article is a pack of lies?

The Herald is trying to make an article out of nothing. The answer is "No" to a currency union. End of. Salmond and the Yes Campaign are in no position to accuse anyone of misleading the electorate, and quoting fiction as fact.

The truth is that after a YES vote everything will be up for grabs.

If you think anything else you are even more naïve than I previously thought.

And you are almost certainly taking far too much for granted. You must be far more gullible than I thought.
