Scottish Independence, yay or nay?

[Strontium]

Can we view any bloody thread without a conspiracy claim these days

 

At least nobody has yet claimed that the English engineered the failure of that Scottish colony in Panama which forced the Scots to go cap in hand to the English and precipitated the original Act of Union in 1707.

 

Sure it's only a matter of time though.

[Frankenhooker]

Salmond has resigned then.

[Nightcat]

Well, how do you explain what that female shihead is doing in that video Mr Kal-El? How do you explain it?

 

It is so hypocritical when your spineless politicians make accusations for rigged voting processes in other countries (e.g. Russia), yet you are so willing to dismiss evidence of corruption in your undemocratic country.

Scotholm syndrome. I reckon the scots given a choice between Panama hats and fedora would vote for Panama hats.

[PestiRed]

I demand a recount. There's a slim chance that is was 45% and therefore some guys on here would win some money

[Section_31]

Salmond steps down.

[Anny Road]

If you went to Morecambe, Whitby, Norwhich and had a vote I would imagine it would be 55/45 which ever way. The whole thing is fucked when 1/2 the pop is fucked off.

[PestiRed]

Odd decision to step down just before the next general election, given that there are no charismatic leaders to take over.

It's his life's work in tatters though, if ever there was a reason to take time out to sink a few cold ones, it's that.

Salmond steps down.

 

Not surprised .Last night it was Nicola Sturgeon talking to the cameras after the result was obviously lost not Salmond  and looking like the leader elect. I suspect they have done a deal Blair/ Brown style. Salmond bet his mortgage on this referendum and doesn't really have anywhere to go now.

 

On another matter last night I was surprised to see the slap head drama queen, Robinson, saying that conversations had taken place between Cameron and the White House regarding delaying any major assault in Iraq until after the referendum . The prospect of the UK embroiled in another conflict would not have gone down well in Scotland, Given Obama's statements regarding the UK staying together it sounds credible

[PestiRed]

Salmond handing over to Sturgeon is the worst news possible for Scotland. It's an open admission that he expects fuck all decent concessions from Westminster

[Trumo]

It also smells a bit fishy.*

Really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Westminister need put in a rik flair figure four leg lock and WOOOOOOOOO snapping.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I knew it would happen, the No vote wins but a high majority of the yes sayers just won't let it drop. Instead of working together to strengthen their own country they are whining like fuck, and probably will do for at least another year. The wounds will take a while to heal, even longer due to the fact the yes sayers are a tad bitter and a bunch of ball bags. 

[xerxes]

Salmond has done the decent thing.

 

He fought a good campaign, but lost.

Obama congratulates Scotland for voting No, as he prepares to pew pew pew pew a bunch of Terrorists he funded and helped them grow into a "state" of beheadings, genocides and oppression.
