A phase?

"The banking crisis started in America and was worldwide, as were the resulting recession and cuts - Britain has actually come out of the slump better than some other countries. Wars happened as a reaction to 9/11. Scotland being independent would have made not one jot to all of that. "

Yes typical of those morons in Westminster who don't represent Scotland at all and who they'd be better off with

Except of course Brown was a Scot elected by Scots and is one of several other Scots who have played some of the most important policy making roles in recent years

Most of the sudden loud cries for independence is due to the current government. That's my point. You can't deny that with any history mate. Don't patronise me, go plan your next atheist preaching thread x

I think I'll be happy regardless of the outcome because I've not been mouthing off about my position on voting on social media for the last two years unlike a lot of people I know. I don't really mind which way it goes, truthfully. That's the conclusion I've come to.

All the yes people i follow on twitter are so aggressive

I imagine if the vote was a no there'd be riots, whereas if it was a yes there'd be celebrations

“There will be no recounts.

“The winning side needs just one more vote than the other and the decision will stand.

“Fingers crossed everybody, that it all goes well and it doesn’t come down to that single voter who couldn’t be bothered heading along to his or her polling booth.

“But in fairness, it seems like the non-voters have been fewer and further between than at any time in British political history.”

I can honestly see riots if the result is no. From what I have seen, the yes voters seem the most...animated about this.
