I kid you not; Havant is such a dive the council made the deserted shops look occupied by filling the windows with posters which give the impression of a fully-open shop.
Just wondering; will we southerners get less for our £? Will there be southern specific multipacks with only three items rather than the expected four oop north?
A narrow No would be the worst possible result, and the bitter divisions would fester on. No matter what the eventual result the repercussions will continue for a long time; and many of them won’t be pleasant.
That ought to be the case in a post yes scenario, but never underestimate the depths to which Westminster will sink, even if it hurts the rUK to do so.
Getting back on topic it must be obvious whatever the eventual result, the union is deeply divided. That ought to prompt some new political thinking from Westminster but I expect the usual denial.
There would be no shortage of stupid people. They would be the very same ones who buy dilapidated farm buildings which used to house animals for outrageous prices, do them up, and live in them.
If Cameron had really been that sucessful it would be obvious to everyone; he’d be the most popular PM in history; the sun would shine out of his arse crack and we wouldn’t be in this situation. The fact we are says all that needs to be said.
An interesting poimnt to note; we are not a ‘united kingdom’ when it comes to concessionary bus passes. English passes can’t be used in Wales or Scotland.
There may be a bitter and protracted dispute over who gets Noocassle, but with a relatively stronger bargaining position I’m sure Westminster can force Scotland to take it all.
“The Union Flag was retained in its current form. Partly as a practical economy measure, to save the costs of making new flags, but also as an affirmation that Scotland remained an integral part of the Union – even if it was under an illegal occupation for the time being – and that one day it would be returned to the fold. Though no one explained exactly how or when it would be achieved.”
The Scots may embarrass Westminster by showing a representative social-minded govt is practical. And there may be waves of English refugees heading north…
Even if the Scots vote No (and I still think a narrow No is likely) Cameron and co in coming so close to losing the vote will be damaged goods. Perhaps their only salvation will be that Boris has yet to be elected and Milliband is so awful.
And would the next Westminster govt, and especially the Tories, do all in their power to make the separation process as difficult as possible for the Scots?
Frankly I distrust any opinion poll, no matter its methodology. The vote may be closer than first anticipate but I still expect a No. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if that isn’t the case and making plans to be the first asylum seeker…
Calm down dear! It was bound to happen that some of the undecideds would choose the Yes side. I think this is a contrived effort to frighten the apathetic Nays into turning out.
