Aye, but did you have to do it in Comic Sans?

Let's face it, people across the UK are scunnered with politicians and their own personal helplessness at the way the place is run. And UKIP arent the answer. They are a cry for help. Voting UKIP is like slashing your wrists in despair. UKIP are the most reactionary party out there and in power, would only cement the position of the elite - which is probably why the media have been all over Nigel Farage like a cheap suit for years. In Scotland though, a window of opportunity has opened up. People have started talking about what sort of country they want to live in. It has got beyond the politician's control now. The SNP started this process, but the Yes grassroots are their own force. If you aren't involved in it you wouldn't know about it as the media don't discuss it. But it's happening, on the internet, in conversation after conversation, in doorstep meetings and packed town halls. I am fascinated to see how this ends up. Scotland votes yes and briefly, all things become possible. But who will end up in charge - the elite and their politicians and media again, or the people? Equally, Scotland votes no - will the people who have started to discuss how they want their society organised give up? Will they redouble their efforts for Scotland alone? Or will they export their ideas to England?
