Who's borders closed to whom?

I don't know if there are any countries left with closed borders, and it isn't something anyone I know has advocated.

Still can't multiquote but Rhys
Who says the oil is running out? By any measure there is enough there for decades though it will be harder to get it out. That's fine because as the "easy" oil runs out ours becomes ever more valuable and viable.

Iceland isn't built on oil wealth (or any other tangible wealth for that matter) but on borrowings and we know what happened there and here. Why not use Norway as your comparator?

And as for most Scots (note, one T), how do you know that because we've never been allowed to have a say. If it is such a clear-cut rejection, why are Labour, the Tories and the LibDems so dead-set against us even being asked the question? What exactly are they afraid of?

Crackpot Salmon as you call him, (note D on the end) has yesterday announced that they can pick the date and even the wording for the second question, and still they say he's rigging it!

He's even committed, in writing, that if the referendum rejects independence, that would be it for a generation. Unlike the referendum in Ireland where they ran a second a little over a year later when the first attempt produced the "wrong" answer.

Please, do think a little for yourself instead of trotting out the propaganda that the authorities are happy to feed you.
