Scottish independence

Surprise Surprise, the inclusion of 16 and 17 yr olds to vote brought about a 70% Yes vote as I fully expected, most going along with the braveheart and fuck the english/tories nonsense (Family of mines included).

I voted NO because I never felt at any stage that Salmond could produce the goods he was alleging he would bring to the table, At times it has been embarrassing watching the Yes campaign attack No voters verbally, both before and now after the votes are all in, time to get over it and move on.

Posting this tonight with a very heavy heart.

I'm absolutely devastated that the vote hasn't went the way I voted and wanted it to go. I truly feel we've succumbed to intimidation from a no capmapign riddled with corruption from the very core.

It wasn't just yes v no. It was yes v no, the government, the millionaire bankers, the main stream media. I should probably be surprised we even amassed 45% of the vote given what were up against.

I don't know how to even feel about being Scottish right now. Part of me is angry, part of me is gutted and part of me is embarrassed. Embarrassed that when the whole world was watching we didn't have the balls to stand on our own two feet.

From what I understand, the % of the vote from over 65's was almost 75% No. A resounding result which given the huge numbers of elderly voters had a great effect on the outcome. I'm gutted that many of them will not have to suffer while those who voted for change and their future generations will be forced to do what it's told by London.

We are a weak weak nation. In Zimbabwe you at get a gun to your head to force you to vote in a certain way. In Britain, it's not so severe but a more sly, manipulative, intimidation approach which has lied to the population.

One positive to take from the campaign is that hopefully Labour are now FINISHED in Scotland. At least the Tories have the guts to stab me in the chest.

As the only party I've ever voted for at any general elections, I'll never ever vote for them again. Traitors who sold their soul to the devil. The sight of Labour politicians hugging and shaking hands with Tories on the announcement of No votes will not wash easily.

On a positive note, and I find it difficult to find one, I still maintain I've got more in common than most people I meet from Manchester than say Aberdeen for example. I had hoped we could inspire you guys to demand more, however I hope that you join us in speaking up against the establishment to demand a fairer society.

And that's how it feels to be a loser...
The people of Scotland rejected the idea of independence ( unfortunately)
Deal with it. Come to terms with it and accept it is the best thing ever to happen to Cameron & England.
Alex Salmond is my hero! :-)

It seems a large number of ''Yes'' voters haven't taken the defeat with the good grace they should have. Shame.

Jim, That is a massive understatement, they have been shocking, now producing videos left, right and centre about alleged rigging and yet the 10 rigged papers found in Glasgow halls this morning where I believe YES votes.. You cannot make it up sometimes
 
I have bought the Beano and Dandy annuals for all these years and also partial to a slice of their cake but Dundee voted Yes, ungrateful lot.

In this case the loser has resigned. He is done. He is finished. He is a busted flush.
