huntedbyafreak · 08/9/2014 5:09 pm

Ehm voting Yes

Andy · 08/9/2014 6:41 pm

You'll all be surprised to hear that I'm voting Yes.

Tick tock.

arabugsy · 08/9/2014 7:55 pm

Humongous AYE.

Sieb22 · 09/9/2014 11:43 pm

Already voted via postal ballot last week.

Also it's my youngest daughters 2nd birthday on the 18th as well, was going to have a referendum theme for her party but knowing that Cameron, Clegg and Milliband are now sticking their noses in it I think we will stick with Peppa Pig instead!

arabugsy · 09/9/2014 11:57 pm

Wish I shared a birthday with Independence Day.

Sieb22 · 10/9/2014 12:00 am

Forgot to say, I voted YES.

Not big on political debates, I enjoy reading and watching them but would rather beat the drum for people to actually vote instead of who to vote.

It's going to be their own personal thing/opinion that makes people choose what or who to vote and who am I to argue against that.

But I do like to see the passion from both sides, whatever happens someone isn't going to be happy and the aftermath is going to be a bitch.

But on the plus side it's only 105 days till Christmas!

St Obswell · 10/9/2014 8:57 am

It's Yes for me

european_bob · 10/9/2014 9:22 am

A definite yes. Wish I had more than just one vote.

Billy_Hainey · 10/9/2014 3:23 pm

YES X

Hamiltonarab · 10/9/2014 6:24 pm

YES all the way.

arabugsy · 10/9/2014 10:26 pm

Just back from a public meeting with Dennis Canavan, Brian Cox and Cat Boyd and meh EH is getting bigger daily.

Tek · 10/9/2014 10:39 pm

83% of this board are YES.

Good number that.

arabugsy · 10/9/2014 11:03 pm

It's an omen!

MatTheCat · 11/9/2014 1:25 am

Eh'm no voting.

Eh'm on a boat in the middle of the North Sea so canne vote anyway. But if eh could, eh still widnae vote.

I couldn't really fucking well go and vote 'No', cos that would be like voting for 'them' shower of parasitic nasty rat cunts.

But I couldn't vote 'Yes' either, cos I ken it isnae really a vote for an independent Scotland, but a vote to break up the UK into more easily digestible chunks for ultimate consumation into an EU superstate......

Mark my words, if this goes through we will end up cap n hand, bend o'er a table with oor breeks pulled down, begging to get into the Euro currency union.

It should go through cos that is the overwhelming will of the people. Everyone I know except pensioners and Huns are voting Yes so I guess that 'they' will just have to cheat to get the result that 'they' want. Think 'they' dinnae cheat n rig elections? I used to work with an ex-military man who reckoned he took on 'special assignments' one of which was helping to rig the post Balkan crisis Bosnian elections in the early 90's. (he wiz on the UN choppers 'delivering' the ballot boxes).

Voting yes but after the last week and the complete media bias, esp from the BBC, I really think it will never happen.

We will forever be known as the nation who bottled it, and were too scared to fun their own affairs.

Media bias has been fucking shocking.....however, as much as I would love to hear any 'better together' person come out and say something convincing against indepedence, all we get is Tory expat chumps like Niall Ferguson stating that he will rescind his citizenship if Scotland gets independence (aye well fuck of then ye fucking arrogant Tory establishment arsehole brown nosing fucking dispicable prick!), or Charles Kennedy making wishy washy statements that we are better together because he believes in 'sharing and cooperation'. The media bias is there alright, but is almost as though they they laying it on so intentionally thick and insulting to the intelligence, that they are trying to lose on purpose.

The media keeps telling us that the polls are even, normally with the No campaing slightly ahead. Bullshit! Every cunt that I know is voting Yes. People I know well. People I meet when I am out n about. And people at work. Of the top of my head, I would say from the people I speak to, it is about 80% Yes, the rest being either NO's or not Not Voting (like myself).

On the 18th, I believe that the Scottish electorate are going to vote for an overwhelming YES. If the NO campaign is to win, then 'they' are going to have to cheat......."51% No, 49% Yes. To those who think that 'they' cannae cheat in elections in a developed 21st century democracy, then I shall remind you all that it is common and public knowledge that the Republicans cheated to allow George Bush to get into power 15 years ago. Naturally however, the majority of election jiggery pokery that goes down, is never revealled nor investigated.

The complete media bias is so blatant that only brain donors would believe the Goebbelsesque propaganda. Thankfully the zombies had already made their feeble minds up so it should make no difference.

The BBC, however, have sadly become some kind of Fox News, after me respecting their output for most of my life. The last few months have been bad enough with almost every referendum news report ending on a no campaign scare story, but the last week has been truly disgusting. Probably best illustrated by the Alex Salmond / Nick Robinson encounter. Warning, only watch the six minute realtime version, not the BBC clip transmitted to the UK.

Personally, I have loved witnessing the bumbling, chaotic, desperate, straw clutching antics of the three amigos + GB. Their great hope is their strict timetable for further unexplained or defined powers and the twats cannae even keep an appointment for a PMQ within 24 hours.

Totally agree with para 1, but at least Brian Cox and Elaine C Smith were there to give positive reasons for voting yes among the no scare stories.

Agree with your anecdotal evidence in para 2 but have been horribly surprised in previous campaigns. Beware the no voter who is so ashamed that they don't tell anyone how they are voting, because they can't validate it.

Disagree with para 3, due to lack of chads.

'Positive' reasons they may well have been, but yet more emotional reasons they also were, aside perhaps for Elaine C Smith pointing out that the Westminster based system has proven very bad at looking after 'forgotten' regions of the UK, such as the old yet now defunct industrial centres, such as Glasgow.

That is my big problem with both sides of the campaign. No cunt is focusing on the hard real politik because the real politik is essentially taboo. Neither politicians nor the media like to discuss the broader real agenda in play, because if they did, then they would reveal the sham that our current political system on a very regular basis and that simply wouldn't do.

What this is really all about in the bigger picture, is how quickly and in what sort of portions that the UK is swallowed up into an EU superstate. Establishment politicians are firmly on the bandwagon that accepts the ultimate inevitability of the lands and regions of the British Isles being consumed by a much larger centralised political entity. It is just a question about how certain interest groups get the best deal for them and their cronies along the way.

The 'indendence' that is on offer. Is not independence as it is generally defined in the dictionary.

But eh ken naebody wants to listen tae shit like this and prefers instead to indulge in thier own emotional based sentiments and arguments.......that is why the masses tend not to very good at making good decisions.

Mat you keep banging on and on about being part of the EU.

It would be Scotland's choice how deep our involvement was in the EU,not some public schoolboy pricks in London.

Anyway what is so wrong with being part of the EU ?Sounds like 'Farage' type scaremongering.

Scotland would be one of the main players in a European Union,make no mistakes.

David_Blunkett · 13/9/2014 1:59 am

I've been training my dog for months how to hold a pencil, he's putting a X in the Yes box for me.

I am against the EU because I am against concentrated power. The more that decision making is centralised, the quiter the voice of the little man becomes and the more control the big men get. The more control the big men get and the less of a say the little man gets, the more personal freedom goes down the shitter.

And besides, I don't understand how anyone who has been paying attention in recent years could possibly ask 'what is wrong with being in the EU'....... I mean, where do I start? Really.

Scotland wouldn't be a BIG player in the EU. Scotland would be the new little runty rich kid in the playground that would get all it's sweeties and Star Wars figures stolen by the real BIG boys and there would be no shortage of fucking slimeballs such as Salmond who would be queuing up to take EU Geld and priviliges for signing us up to all manner of imprudent integration agreements.
