Brilliant quote on BBC website - 'Elections expert Prof John Curtice says the No campaign has apparently won the referendum by securing the support of older people, Conservatives and those who have not enjoyed a university education'.

Wrong on all three counts in my case...

but right about the majority of no voters, everyone knows the old fear change!

Well you don't seem to as you believe he's putting self interests ahead of the greater good.

in a country where the most popular tv programme is x-factor and the sun the most popular newspaper 'no brainers' best describes the population

Is that why the entire Yes campaign appeared to be composed of well known TV celebrities, luvvies and third rate comedians then?

i should rephrase that 'as a scientist i respect him immensely'
(tho not necessarily as a phd supervisor
-his phd students both complained that he was never around)

i was only aware of eddie izzard, id say he was 2nd rate to be fair
but the yes campaign was particularly poor, they didnt have any pictures of dying babies for a start!

Clearly of course, if such political luminaries as Joanna Lovely, Colin Firth, Helena Bonham-Carter, Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry AND Eddie Izzard were for it, it [b]must[/b] have been a good thing for politics 🙄
