OK, folks, who fancies a wee bit of fun alongside this deadly serious subject?  A prize to the forum member whose forecast is closest to the result on Friday September 19th. Said prize will consist of a bottle of fine Scots whisky that's hanging about chez Rolo, a gift package unopened... or, for non whisky-drinkers like myself, a haggis-- variety of your choosing. (International postage and packing, will of course, be included, should the winner be one of our Honorary Scots  ) Get your forecasts in by Tuesday September 9th at midnight GMT. I'll kick off with: YES 63% NO 37% Slainte, everyone! |

Hell, no need to be sorry, Stuarty... I suspect you might be bang on the money/pound/groat/euro/smackeroonie there In Perthshire, anyway.  I imagine the very rich bits of East Lothian are probably what, 90% No as well! OH, and that bit over in Houston where all the footballers scratch a living off £350,000 a week, the poor sowels. How do they manage? OK, slightly seriously though, all sorts is going on tonight with the UKE government and the media. But we've all stopped caring, haven't we, everyone? So you have till Tuesday night to give your forecast your best shot. F*ck though, think how dear poor Gideon must be feeling. Apparently they're bringing in the big guns to Scotland tomorrow. Not real guns, though, the big scaredy cats. Just John Prescott and that Danny Alexander. (ooooh.... Scotland recoils in fright. Not) |

Well the patronising goes on and on and on........
Osborne has the cheek to tell us now he will give more and more powers after the result of their poll!!
The votes HAVE already started, the Postal votes were sent before this offer, therefore they SHOULD have offered it BEFORE the voting started.
Who in all sanity would WANT another out of date greedy bunch of liars like our Politicians run our country?
Why would ANY COUNTRY in the world WANT another country to run it?
Who is so SCARED that they have no confidence in there own ability and countrymen to run themselves?
A NO vote keeps Trident will allow fracking by Osborne's father in laws company allows BNF to dump Nuclear waste from around the world in Scotland.
No equals the Status Quo.
That means the Eton Boys Club continue to keep the wealth of the country, while the rest have FOODBANKS and BEDROOM TAX.
