I wonder if I am the only Scot who cannot wait till this all goes away, totally fed up with the yes vote campaign it is in your face every day. Vote NO I say. I wish it was September then it would all be over.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

If only.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

It looks like this is over. I noticed the other day that we're closer to the vote than we are to Osbourne's currency speech. Polls haven't moved since their uptick in April and according to the latest polling people's positions are hardening whilst undecideds decline. The amount of people certain to vote, over 80%, also suggests that the Yes campaign can't depend on a few points swing due to a enthusiasm gap.

Yes need a big event to happen for this to change now. They might be able to close the polls a bit over the Summer but not by enough without a major intervention to help them. As long as Cameron hasn't got a hidden recording of him burning the Scottish flag with Ed Miliband and Prince Charles then I fail to see what could happen (that's feasible).

I think when we look back at this though we made a couple of mistakes. Allowing the SNP to not include Scottish residents elsewhere in the UK in the vote was a big mistake. Also the timing should have been now rather than after the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

I agree Cameron should have made the powers to hold the referendum expire at the end of May 2014, I really can't see what has been achieved by allowing the bloodletting to go on this long.

We are now seeing the nats revert to type, boycotting businesses whose owners have expressed anything remotely unhelpful to their cause (B&Q being only the latest) and, on Sunday morning, demonstrating outside BBC Scotland in Glasgow to protest against 'unionist bias'. They are starting to look like a batty fringe group, which is unsurprising because at their core that's what they are.

Perhaps the only benefit of having to wait until September is that the more bitter and desperate the nats get, the more stupid they will make themselves look. The three stooges, Alec, Nicola and John boy, are looking increasingly crazed as they parrot the same lines about bullying etc. Only the most dyed-in-the-wool separatists can't see that they're desperate and devoid of any strategy. They really did think they could paint Westminster as a great big bogeyman and then wing it.

They really are behaving like spoilt children. Some of what's going on is pathetic.

There's some more 'bullying' here too:

More bullying, negative campaigning and scaremongering according to the guess camp.

I'm constantly amazed they make absurd promises, throw tantrums when they are called out on their back of a fag packet calculations and generally fail to debate like adults yet some people are still dumb enough to believe them. :(

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

That'd be right. :)

Just out of curiosity, has the SNP ever once conceded that their opposition have a point and that things might not be a bed of roses?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Nope. If that happens I'd expect snowflakes in hell, cats and dogs living in harmony and Arthur praising the Tories. :D

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

So it IS all going to be just tickety-boo then after Salmond's Tartan Twits get their way... no risks, no downside, no problems at all... A veritable tartan Utopia with Braveheart Salmond's image emblazoned on everything as his reward for saving the proud Scots from their dire fate at the hands of the despicable English... :rolleyes: :D

If it all goes to plan I reckon Salmond can see a Hollywood film in this with his chum Sean Connery playing the SNP leader... :D

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Looks like IKEA will be joining the list of boycott targets for the Nats.

That'll do a lot of good for Scottish jobs won't it... :spin:

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

This is actually bullying:

Indeed, poor old blob fish, compared to that twit

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Alistair Darling says Eck's comments about the BBC "beaming" Ukip into Scottish living rooms is the sort of thing Kim Jong Il would say.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...m-Jong-il.html

The nats, predictably, have burst a communal blood vessel. The problem is, they turned the outrage up to 11 a long time ago and nobody really takes any notice any more.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Except the opposition.

Shocker. Ex Swedish prime minister states the obvious.
