    No voters must be beginning to feel somewhat pissed. Cameron is now to cut the Barnett Formula to Scotland.

    He tries to justify this by saying that it will not be cut until Scotland has the ability to take that money from it's own working people in taxes. Not the same thing at all.

    I got the feeling that was exactly what Brown was saying when he said we could keep our NHS.

    It was never meant to last this long, anyway. It's more than time it went.

    Irrelevant. For No voters the most important thing was money. They were promised it would be kept. They have been lied to.

    Regarding whether the three amigos fulfil their 'vow' which I think we all know they will not, the Herald promised that if that was not so it would lead the way in demanding another referendum and I think like it's Sunday paper become a Yes supporter.

    OK if true this is serious.

    Westminster are doing our job for us. You will have all the goodies with none of the uncertainties, Gordon Brown told them. It will be so near Home Rule that only an extremist would not accept it he said...and you will get it quicker than you would have Independence. Timetable was accepted by all three Westminster leaders and if my memory serves me right was to be completed before the 2015 election.
