        @andalg1 You can't espouse democracy then try and tell rUK what to do. Good luck w/independence, but need to be realistic.

        @andalg1 But what Salmond is doing: "We demand you let us into a currency union". rUK: "Why would we ever agree to that?" Salmond: "Bully!"

        @BBCBreaking Salmond should learn the meaning of 'independence', it means 'exemption from reliance on others' not cherry-picking !
