Disappointing that Murray pouts late opinion based on his perception of negative 'no' campaign. Bigger picture is not PR savviness surely, moreover the rights and wrongs of independence should/will dictate. hypocritical caveat: hope democracy wins, gut... scotland will regret a yes.

That's entirely wishful thinking. Let's see whether or not in six months' time (regardless of the referendum vote) politics with a capital 'P' is firing up Scottish people...

As an ex-pat Scot married to an English wife now living in New York I came home last night from Madison Square Garden having just watched an 'Eagles' concert,(which was interesting and entertaining) and I was further treated to the BBC coverage of the election details.

I think the whole referendum has shown me how brittle the 'Union' is, but also interesting how the Stock exchange was up 60 points when opened today

Their all making money again- yippee!!!

Well some are!?

Chess and politics?

:)


well i for one am glad (yeah , i gave up with the coverage, happy i did as youngest started kicking me in the head and demanding peppa pig at about 5am)

But the union is irrevocably change whatever the result, Cameron admitted as much. are we going to move to a federal model?


For all Salmond's awfulness thought he was gracious and reconciliatory in defeat, reminded me of McCain's losers speech.

Though did like my mate's comment this morning:


""Alex Salmond called for unity"

Er.........why start now ?

divisive little shit.

At least we won't have to put up with so much of his fat smug toad like visage sweating itself out of the television in future.

Can we arrest him for being a traitor?"

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
