Will you vote for independence?

[danny la rouge]

One of the silliest yet:

"North Sea Oil will make an independent Scotland poorer", says Cameron. "But it won't make the UK poorer, so vote No".

The second time in 90 years. I wonder why all the interest?

It proves how important we are to them, them coming to see us for only the second time in 90 years you see.

 

[Belushi]

Ah I'm sure they keep meaning to visit. But you know what it's like; work, the kids, just so busy all the time..

 

[Quartz]

So they're coming here to Aberdeen? I've seen no mention of it round here. Where are they appearing? I wonder if pogofish has heard anything?

 

[danny la rouge]

Where are they appearing?

They're signing autographs at Underground.

 

[Belushi]

So exactly how well is this demonstration of how much the cabinet cares going to play in Scotland?

Well, just think of when the Cabinet last met in Cornwall or Hull or pick anywhere other than London.

 

[Quartz]

And when did the Scottish Cabinet last meet in Aberdeen? This is a first for them too.

You just can't help yourself can you~?

Afaik wee Eck said him and his cabinet are going to be in Portlethen the same day so close but not quite He even offered to go to Aberdeen to have a debate with that nice Mr Camoron, while he was there, what with the BBC having a studio there and all.

They've taken the Cabinet out of Edinburgh the last five summers in a row, and this meeting will.be the second this year outside Holyrood.

Anyway, some new polls:

Today we have a new ICM poll for Scotland on Sunday. Their topline figures with changes from a month ago are YES 37%(nc), NO 49%(+4). At first glance this poll would indicate the currency row had led to a significant boost to the NO campaign, but once again I’d urge some caution

The SNP have also commissioned a new Panelbase poll. Now, the last time we saw an Panelbase/SNP poll they played silly buggers with the question ordering, but I’ve double checked with Panelbase and nothing like this happened in this one (though the wording is very slightly different to that used by the Panelbase/Sunday Times poll). The topline figures are YES 37%, NO 47%. The no vote is two points lower than the last Panelbase/Sunday Times poll, but Panelbase’s previous poll was a bit higher than usual – for most of the past year Panelbase’s polls have consistently shown a NO lead of between 8 and 10 points, this is wholly in line with that.

I wonder if pogofish has heard anything?

I have. More than that, I'm involved with one of the Cabinets in a minor role. Can't say any more just yet.

Where to even begin with this

You tease!

On second thoughts, perhaps you'd like to rephrase that?

He's poison tester for Wee Eck.

 

[pogofish]

It could be much, much worse!

 

[geminisnake]

If it doesn't involve ex lax in their coffee I'm not interested

 

[Quartz]

Oh come on! He's going to be more subtle than that! I expect he's got ready those Haribo sweets that cause explosive diarrhoea. He needs plausible deniability.

 

[pogofish]

Enjoying coffee and bacon rolls just now. At least they are ensuring we get well fed!

 

[Quartz]

So if I were to wander down Union Street, would I see anything?

 

[pogofish]

Nope, King St.

There will be one walkabout early PM.

 

[Quartz]

So, time for lunch at the Old Blackfriars first?

 

[danny la rouge]

So if I were to wander down Union Street, would I see anything?

Quartz, look at what you've written, and ask yourself whether that would be the chosen location.

 

[Quartz]

Yes, I know.

However, the Better Together shop is at the west end of Union Street. That Cameron & co are restricting themselves to King Street which is the other end speaks volumes.

 

[geminisnake]

So you've not spat in anyone's coffee yet?? I r disappointed mr fish! But early pm you say?? Tis only an hours drive!
