Will you vote for independence?

[RedDragon]

We're not going to know the result until Friday.

I'm going to try switching off my telly and radio until then.

 

[Frankie Jack]

I've booked Friday off.

 

[geminisnake]

My cousin was asking if I'm staying up but I don't know yet. Edinburgh/Aberdeen/Glasgow not declaring til 5/6am estimated. 10pm til 2/3 am is going to be a LONG time

 

[DairyQueen]

We will know by 2am/3am if yes have a chance or will take it.

Darling and Salmond both appear to be in agreement that the referendum is a one off, and that there is no 'going back. Someone needs to tell Farage that once you have a referendum on something, you can't have another one to reverse it..

The story behind this one is worth reading

doing it

would quash "news that in the event of a yes vote the castle will move to London

Yes - I'll probably get a couple of hours kip when I get home, then later-on at some point, then be awake for 5am. I think work will be decimated on Friday whatever way it goes. A couple of colleagues already have dibs on the secret "snooze room"

The Usher Hall in Edinburgh tonight, where Mogwai, Frightened Rabbit, Eddi Reader, Franz Ferdinand and others are doing a pro-Yes gig

We are the most informed citizens in the world right now. I left a meeting in Hamilton Miners’ Welfare and a retired labourer caught me on the stairs and quizzed me about what I thought the position would be with ten year bond yields in an independent Scotland. Kids can talk you through the details of the Shengen arrangement. Most of us can run you through the constitutional position of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Unit.

Prepare to change your minds. David Beckham says no!

'The ex-England captain said: "I took as much satisfaction in seeing Sir Chris Hoy or Andy Murray win gold as I did watching Jess Ennis and Mo Farah do the same in the Olympic Stadium.'

But in that same article Vivienne Westwood says it would be

absolutely great.The future could be just amazing

Even with the detailed discussion of the pros and cons of both sides from various celebrity pundits, I would certainly find it difficult to make up my mind. Hardly surprising there are still all those Don't Knows.

 

[Frankie Jack]

I've never needed 'clebs opinions to make my mind up.

what does Phil Neville think? Someone should ask

 

[danny la rouge]

'The ex-England captain said: "I took as much satisfaction in seeing Sir Chris Hoy or Andy Murray win gold as I did watching Jess Ennis and Mo Farah do the same in the Olympic Stadium.'

And?

 

[Sue]

And?

Erm, if Scotland goes independent, Andy Murray'll never win another match and David Beckham will be sad..?

 

[andysays]

And?

I think what it means is

1. if Scotland were independent, David Beckham wouldn't get so much satisfaction from watching Chris Hoy or Andy Murray win a gold medal
2. this should be a major concern to voters in the referendum

So vote Yes on Thursday and make little David cry, you bastards

 

[DairyQueen]

"I took as much satisfaction in seeing Sir Chris Hoy or Andy Murray win gold as I did watching Jess Ennis and Mo Farah do the same in the Olympic Stadium.'

When I look at all the revolutionary and inspiring messages of yesteryear, Beckham's plea must be up there with Castro's announcement that all major American enterprises will be nationalised in Cuba, Martin Luther King's civil rights marches, or Chavez's return to power after the short-lived coup. At the very least, it is an excellent example of just how dearth of hope we will be if it is a no.

Windsor makes blandest comment possible: interpreted as endorsement of No in Guardian

*prays for Iain Duncan Smith*

Its only Cameron himself. No wonder they kept it quiet!

 

[geminisnake]

another invited audience in a locked room for Cam?? Aye, that'll win us over

 

[gosub]

Seeming to do something even it has no impact is clearly preferable to being seen being shouted down by a granny from Port Glasgow

 

[geminisnake]

Or a young woman with a buggy??

Or a bloke on a rickshaw with a ghetto blaster?

I got great satisfaction and enjoyment from Bolt winning the double in the sprint - that means as much about independence as golden balls
