I've just spent 5 minutes watching Jeremy Vine on the BBC
analysing likely voting in the Scottish referendum. He was playing about with coloured boxes and totally confused me. I'm switching over to Sky News.

Listening to the radio, seems like the whining nats are getting jammed back in to their box. They've had a spanking & it's now time our so called leaders laid down new rules to the upstarts who brought on all this guff.

Footing the bill for all the campaigning would be a good start.

My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning , can you believe that , 2:30am?....

Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes.

Fife - 55%/45% in favour of 'No'

No - 139,788

Yes - 114,148

Turnout - 84%

That officially takes 'No' over the line.

quite the opposite david cameron is going to reward them but as they are already getting free university , free prescriptions regardless of income i dread to think what we are going to have to go without so he can give them god knows what.

i personally find it abhorant that people with cancer in England for example have to play a postcode lottery as to if they get treatment/drugs for cancer while people in scotland ,wales and ireland get all the drugs they want no questions asked and dont even have to pay a penny towards them

either we all pay for prescriptions or we all dont and the same goes for everything else

we are after all together as the United Kingdom or are supposed to be

let the arguing begin ...

accyman · 19-09-2014, 06:02

it certainly will up there as there are many people who will feel hard done by and down here resentment towards them will build because now ontop of all the extras they get we will be paying them even more money we supposedly cant afford until a bribe is needed

this referendum has highlighted to the english how much better the scottish get things and also that over a 3rd of them dont want nothing to do with us lol

i think this referendum has cause more damage than good.We all kinda knew how the scottish felt about us but now its official .A 3rd of them cant stick us and the rest can tolerate us for the right price

dont worry though cameron has a speech ready to smooth waters and heal the nation

i cant wait

It will be good to get back to some semblance of normality....without all the media obsession on polls and who is going to vote which way.
In fact this mornings news is becoming tedious with the usual overkill.
I must have referendum fatigue.

Time to tighten our belts and sacrifice a few ordinary folk to the dole again (mind you, they had better not be ordinary Scottish folk).

They are not called "Canny Scots" for nothing. They know which is the best side their bread is buttered on.
