I have told my Scottish workmate (and close friend) that he is only allowed to discuss Scottish independence once a week.

No such luck, it's a Collie. A very intelligent breed ... maybe it can understand the finer details of the independence debate.JimC wrote:If it's a Scottish Terrier...klr wrote:... with his dog.JimC wrote:...on the weekend...klr wrote:I have told my Scottish workmate (and close friend) that he is only allowed to discuss Scottish independence once a week.

Re: Where's Red Celt when you want a laugh!?
Just returned from a funeral down south. One part of the family lives in Glasgow - a cousin I am close to and his two kids. Chatting over coffee and food at the 'wake' part of the day their view was that the NO voters far outweigh the YES. They expressed the view that many NO voters feel intimidated and therefore keep quiet about their position. The view was that the NO campaign will win by a large majority despite benign rather less vocal than the other camp.
I have no way of knowing if what they say reflects the reality, but it is interesting to get that sort of view from people in the middle of it.

Interesting insight... At least the intimidation will not prevent either side from reaching the polling station

Re: Where's Red Celt when you want a laugh!?
It's not safe to extrapolate from a very small sample. All the polls show a small majority for No, and there are idiots on both sides.

Re: Where's Red Celt when you want a laugh!?
I'm not surprised by that. There's a difference between arguing the toss on here, and face to face with someone who gets all red-faced and het up about it in the flesh. But I doubt if that would affect the polls much, as nobody gets to see what you intend to vote for.Rum wrote:Just returned from a funeral down south.

The polls show a marked difference between men and women, with more men intending to vote yes, and more women no. Maybe women get more practice saying no. But it's probably that men are generally greater risk-takers than women.
Women do gamble, but the prize is usually more instant and tangible than Scottish independence.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

But both of the families affected have said that they are happy to change.

Without them the Tories would have free reign to continue pushing forwards into complete corporate fascism. We might be heading that way anyway because most of Labour don't seem to want to fight for the people anymore.

Yep. Very accurate. Unlike the crap the BBC keeps purveying.

So, how did the debate go? Is it worth watching? I've recorded it, as the US Open tennis takes priority.
