Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[Old Greg]

I don't gamble.

I do think the result will shock the media, there are many estates in Glasgow/Edinburgh/Aberdeen etc where the pollsters and media were scared to go who will all vote Yes. I think it will be high 50's for Yes.

You can get 8/1 on >55%. Shame you don't gamble if there are these odds for something you think is going to happen.

I was quite convince by my friend in Edinburgh who reckoned people will pull back from the brink. That and the 'Shy No' concept. Shame really.

Who is doing the tearing? Nothing on 5 live.

That's would be Uncle Alec. Apparently the BBC broke the law this morning by releasing market information prior to the markets being informed or something along those lines, when publishing RBS's intentions.

I'm sure there are also a lot of people who intend to vote no who have stayed silent, just because people are being vocal about doesn't mean it will carry over to the vote.

Then you didn't watch NewNight on Monday evening when they were on an Estate - although most people were going to vote Yes. So your point stands.....

Ladbrokes reckon 46.5% for yes and Paddy Power a little over. Close enough to be fun, and certainly close enough for Yes to have a chance of squeaking in.

Or perhaps some of them were just saying that - the Shy No - so as not to be branded a collaborator or suffer other social embarrassment. Or perhaps not.

Not to mention bankrupt and owned by the taxpayer, since it's YOU that's paying for it.

Nice of the English tax payer to take away this rotten apple.

.....a rotten apple with a lot of assets and jobs....

...well my daughter got hassled and pushed about by some adults on her way home from school yesterday for wearing a 'No' badge. She was in tears.

The jobs are not moving, the nameplate on the wall is. No said, the banks included, indicated operations were moving. Why can't people read the story instead of the headlines?

So you'll be backing a rotten apple with your tax money whilst maintaining the operations in Scotland.

That's crap.

Get her a Yes t-shirt then, it'll be love-bombs on the way to school tomorrow.
