Now how do you know what the majority get or don't get? :-k
Oh that's right, opinion polls from the same people who predicted a Labour landslide in 2011 and of course the eminently impartial press
:badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

The only poll that matters is on the 18th of next month. I wouldn't count your chickens just yet if I were you. :D

The people of Scotland have woken up to the fact that politics is so much more than party allegiance, it's about the people and what they want to see happen to their country. It's becoming more and more apparent it bears no resemblance to what the mandarins of Westminster think we want or need, nor is it wholly what Wee Eck at al are proposing. We are different. Of that there's no doubt. How different will only be determined at the polling stations on 18th Sept. I only hope we are brave enough to grasp the opportunity to show the rest of the world we're ready to join them as equals. Saor Alba.


Just back from a week down south and your dead right. They just don't get it at all :lol:


Ah wis wondering why my sniping wasn't bringing results..........you were away. #-o :lol:

Wasn't looking for either tbh but it's quite striking that the only No's were in the fields of a few Tory landowners.
Yes's were everywhere :D

Like you said - Bring it on 8)

you consider a former chief exec of a bank to be a good endorsement. :lol: :lol: :lol:


You are thinking about Fred Goodwin 'Fred the Shred' - who was stripped of his knighthood for DISSERVICES to banking. Mathewson had left RBS long before the financial crisis hit.

So that's three Knights of the British Empire

Sir Tom Devine
Sir George Mathewson
Professor Sir Donald Mackay

all knighted for services to BRITISH EMPIRE - now all changed their minds and support Independence - not bad - the Nationalist cause has definitely come a long way.

Is this is the same empire that scots played a role in?

Is this the same empire under which independent Scotland will continue post independence?

ffs

It just shows how unpopular an Empire it is when so many people in it, including actual Knights of the Empire, don't like it and want out of it. And it certainly wasn't popular in America which fought their independence from it, so God knows what Obama is going on about. And there's Sir Sean Connery - another one - though he's a long-term Nat die-hard. There is probably quite a few more as well. It doesn't really look good for the Union - there is just too much lying coming from their side and no actual arguments.

Apart from spouting historical miss and half truths - you now accuse the no campaign of telling lies. I'm sorry to say there is nothing but bluster coming from both sides - nothing in terms of facts whatsoever.

The latest is from Ian Wood - who Mr Salmond and the yes campaign embraced a few months ago - it was said "Sir Ian Wood must be listened to when he is talking about North Sea oil."

He has now said the white paper is between 50 and 60% out in oil projections - he has been obviously dismissed as another dissenter and the yes campaign state there is "a wealth of expert opinion on the huge scale of Scotland's long-term oil and other energy reserves".

very sad indeed.
