Was the Scotland vote rigged?

First bit already broken... not going to end well.

What a crock of tulip

The first one looks like she'd just realised that she'd accidentally got some the wrong way round. Easy enough when you're doing a moderately dull repetitive task like that.

The second one - the supposed pile of "No" votes with "Yes" votes - was refuted at the time by the Yes campaign for Dundee (whence the footage comes), as reported here by your Twitter correspondent:

To clarify, ballot papers have not yet been sorted into Yes/No and are just resting on table where No will go once sorted. No need to worry.

- @YesDundee

The one with the bloke allegedly filling in ballots: well, you just have to look at the way his pen moves to see that he's writing something, but it's definitely not a cross. Looks like he's checking a pile, presumably in case of mistakes like the first one seems to be (the risk of which people who count ballots are doubtless aware of, and therefore seek to prevent through double-checking), then initialling the top one before wrapping it with an elastic band, presumably to indicate that it has been checked and he was the one that checked it.

So, all in all, exactly the kind of drivelling bulltulip you'd expect from somebody calling themselves "NWO Agenda" on YouTube.

BTW, that guy should really work on his voiceover technique. I've heard more inspiring commentaries on videos showing how to fold a fitted sheet.

I'd best not ask how you know that.

Thought you supported Yes vote, make up your mind (if you have one)

That was when I thought you were a proud nation. Now you have shown yourselves to be a bunch of lackeys to the English toff class, I'll just revel in stealing your natural resources. You don't deserve them.

Once they saw the scare stories didn't pan out they would change their mind. The remaining could move to rUK if they love it so much.

...where are you moving to? Have you left yet?

Since Scotland is still part of the UK, the oil belongs to the UK. I would have preferred independence but the extra powers and generous Barnett formula will have to do If you don't want us to go and stand on our own then we'll suck every penny out of you.

Since my City voted Yes I will stay here, proud of it.

Given the turnout was 75%, considerably under half the people in Glasgow voted YES.

HTH.

Shush now, don't bring factual evidence into the discussion, that won't do anyone any good!
