GTG_03 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 One of dozens of ridiculous stories that were printed by the media in the referendum build up. It's actually an amazing result to get 45% of the vote under such circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamr Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Didn't a Labour MP claim at one point that if Scotland gained independence we'd be attacked by aliens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochas III Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Was it not that we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves from incomg threats from space rather than actually be attacked. Saying that it is just as absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassiveFanDan Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 They were half way up the Clyde at one point so that one might not be so mental. That happened while we are part of the UK and NATO though, so the level of security they offer may not be as stellar as advertised. Remember when they told us interest rates would rise and mortgages would go up if we voted Yes? It's happening anyway: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/borrowing/mortgages/11762045/End-of-cheap-mortgage-boom-as-big-banks-raise-rates.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Porkies came from both sides but this is my favourite Yes one: White paper oil revenue prediction for 2016/17 - £7.9 billion. Likely income now for 2016/17 - £600 million low to £2.8 billion high. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-33268851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 My favourite No fib is this one: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11071043/Independent-Scotland-could-not-keep-pound-and-join-EU.html Irrespective of your views on sterlingisation no-one could prevent an iScotland using the pound.
