The Scottish Independence thread - Yay or Nay?

Yes, Beaker, Bert and Ernie, or Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest as I've seen them called. They could make it worse, I mean, you could have UKIP coming up to campaign followed by an Orange Order march through Edinburgh.

Oh, hang on. Those are on Friday and Saturday.

Unbelievable, really. I don't know if I can find analogues for other countries of just what this is like in terms of incompetence or inappropriateness.

Frankly, Laurel and Hardy could run a better campaign. And they've been dead for 50 years.

Here's some thoughts and I have little remembrance that I have written this before

Ah I'll write it anyway

I Hope that both side will respect the outcome of this referendum. I have this nagging feeling that some of the political radical, will not respect the result

A massive demonstration by the loosing side*, battle with the police, massive destruction in the area where the demonstration is. This is what I fear, will arise the following days after the referndum.

* Here I'm thinking of these radical people

Even though I don't have much knowledge about Scotland I do know that in each countries there are political radical people.

I dunno, I doubt it, especially if the Yes vote wins, if the Yes vote loses...nah, actually nah, I don't think that the youth are that invested in the vote to care either way, so I doubt there'll be any major demonstrations.
The political uproar either way will fuel enough newspaper headlines for a while anyway.

Well, this is Scotland. Objected to the poll tax and marched against it without riots.

When it was introduced in England a year later, they had riots.

In 2012 there were riots in England. They did not spread to Scotland.

I doubt very much that there will be any riots.

Exactly, Scotland got most of the rioting out of its system in the 17th and 18th century.

Nah, they were aw doon pub watching fitbah.

ExFishermanBob · 09-09-14, 03:24 PM

Actually, if it is, as I expect, a resounding Yes, New Year will be a real riot! So will Burns' Night.

By the way, if you haven't seen this (assuming you know who Alex Salmond is), it is very funny as it picks up on a number of his traits. No-one seems to know whether it is pro or anti.
