Just seen this on that twitter thing the young people are keen on:
A yes supporter allegedly attacked by no-voting thugs. And I've seen other stuff (without graphic images) saying there have been incidents of a similar nature against "no" voters.
Can anyone there on the spot, e.g. danny la rouge tell us if there's much of this sort of thing happening?

danny la rouge
More like *fanny* la rouge!
No, there really isn't. There's been a handful of isolated incidents. But, when compared to the scale of the engagement - 4 million conversations - it's vanishingly small. (Distressing though it is for those at the receiving end).

Is there a mathematical genius in the house? Who can tell me what to bet on each side to come out making money whoever wins?

The count is through the night. I'll be up, armed with bottle of cognac* and a new packet of coffee for the espresso maker. The champagne will be in the fridge, to toast the good sense of the people of Scotland, manifested by voting 'NO!'.
*My mate from down South will be with me, and if it is 'Yes', I'll be too pissed to care.

Very probably some lippy idiot who said the wrong thing to the wrong person. Scenes such as these are seen at chucking out time up and down the land.

It was a middle aged guy chalking Yes on the pavement outside the Yes for Scotland gig at the Usher Hall who got kicked in the face by two 18 year olds shouting about voting No. Carry on with your prejudice if you like.

By my reckoning you can't at those prices. Someone will no doubt point out I'm wrong.

Course you can't.
Especially in Wales. Especially if the YES vote is followed by any kind of Leftist government.
This is going to be such a landslide...

Embrace the confusion!
Much as I respect English comrades who don't want Scotland to go their own way, I find the invoking of "working class solidarity" argument a little shallow.
Why should Scots tailor their votes to suit the feelings of the left in Wales, Northern Ireland or England? If we are to be ruled by tory psychopath corrupt scum then that will be our problem and responsibility to act thereon.
Why should Scots be denied the opportunity to at least have a chance to be free of the endless cesspit of corporate owned Westminster "government"?

So they think people are going to take David Beckham's advice on this matter.
That's real desperation for you right there.
tbf, you can often use oddschecker to in effect bet into 100%+ books.
not for happening in this two horse race though.

There's a rival 'See you Jimmy' rally in the East End with Gazza and Jim Davidson leading the festivities.

Is that what independence under current conditions will give them? Or will they get a corporate-owned government of their own? That's what Salmond represents, so in the short term at least, it's the likely outcome.
Last thing the Yes campaign needs is this wrongmo from the Northern League supporting them: http://video.repubblica.it/edizione...referendum-scozzese/177290/176004?ref=HRESS-1

I imagine that they might do what the USA and Canada do... just have an open border and open trade.... at least that's what I think happens in North America. ????If they vote yes it is going to take a while to identify all the Scots living in England and Wales so they can be repatriated!

Well they have NAFTA, which includes Mexico, but I am not sure about open borders.
I can definitely see this making all the difference
I don't want my friends repatriated thanks.If they vote yes it is going to take a while to identify all the Scots living in England and Wales so they can be repatriated!
