VNA, 45% of the police voted yes, not very good at sums me so 55% voted no, so basically 10% the difference, so you are refusing to accept the result of a democratic election. I am ingnorant of what the Edinburgh agreement is/was you mention that the Westminster Politicians renaged on that.
The very fact that Salmond and his cronies got the voting age lowered to 16, smacks of trying to ensure a yes vote. Did he not think that if it was left at 18 he could have won a yes vote that way.
The UK is going down the pan, we have the fastest growing economy in Europe 3% growth forecast for the coming year, unless the BBC reported that wrong.
Yes there will be more government cuts next year, all is not perfect in the UK but at least we do appear to be moving in the right direction.
UKIP will do feck all in the next election, they may win a handful of seats. The only reason they are picking up seats in bye elections is over the immigration issues and anti EU sentiment. They may replace the Lib Dems who sold there soul to get into bed with the Tories.
Tried to kick off the trouble over there but it fell flat on it's face. Let me assure you there were certainly a lot of foot soldiers from Scotland in the Paramilitaries doing their training,shall we say, some still pop over now and again for the odd walk around the countryside(fact)
I know you do not agree that civil unrest would breakout in Scotland if it looked as if the yes campaign or for that matter the no campaign was dead in the water, if both sides keep chipping away at each other and if someone organises mass rallies of protest and counter protest you will have that civil unrest. Not sure what size the police force is in Scotland but if the unrest that I forsee gathers momentum the police will not have the man power or resources to deal with it or contain it.
The RUC, depending on your stance was one of the best equipped and trained police forces in dealing with civil unrest than any in Europe, even they in the end had to ask for outside help.
I know I am doom and gloom, but having lived through what went on in N Ireland. I lost family and frieinds to the violence over there. I would hate to see a similar thing happen to a country that I have a lot of affection for(even though I do take the piss about the place now and then)
If Scotland does go it's own way can you also lobby that the spelling for Whisky is corrected as in WHISKEY.
Good luck with your campaign but hopefully the Scottish people will continue to say NO NO NO.
