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.
