Does it involve aluminium foil hats?
Or maybe just the Yes voters not believing that anyone else has a different opinion?"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

In a way, by promising all sorts of powers and money a few days before for a no vote, then abandoning it within 24 hours. I think there could be another ref within a few years.Comment

It was of course entirely predictable
the Perfidious Albion would treat you thus, so it's your own fault really.

LOL!
Very flimsy 'evidence' he presents there. And even if the examples show are correct, that looks like a potential 3 miscounted votes. As for the guy supposedly filling in a paper during counting, how does he know whether or not this is one of the investigations going on in Glasgow?
As for the table of no 'Yes' votes, how does he know these votes were not correctly counted as Yes? Just because they are on a table for No doesnt mean they were counted as No's.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

No. We're fortunate enough to live in one of the world's leading democracies with an exceptional record on corruption. The vote was not rigged.
What has happened, however, is that a bunch of people who called for said democratic vote don't like how it turned out and are now crying about it which I find exceptionally frustrating, though predictable.
I saw a bitter guy yesterday who said 'Scotland won't be united until a yes vote' and started talking about revolution - apparently the majority just don't matter and will have to be pursuaded by force.Comment

Master stroke by Salmod to call for a simple majority as the issue will never be settled with 1.6 million people and Scotland's biggest city voting Yes.Originally posted by vwdan View PostNo. We're fortunate enough to live in one of the world's leading democracies with an exceptional record on corruption.

If YES had enjoyed a small majority, what about the 1.6 million people who didn't vote for independence, and the fact the capital of the country voted no?Originally posted by Unix View PostMaster stroke by Salmod to call for a simple majority as the issue will never be settled with 1.6 million people and Scotland's biggest city voting Yes.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
