A former college classmate (still in touch on Facebook only) was previously firmly in the No camp. So much that I put him down as a lost cause who couldn't be changed.
He's just posted that hi postal vote will be sent tomorrow, with a YES!!
Some people just want attention.
Good work by the way.

Not really a surprise but by God it shows what the Yes campaign has been up against. Every facet of the MSM (sunday herald excepted) is against them and yet still polls are almost neck and neck.
Just imagine how far in front Yes would have been with a compliant media.
It actually gets me down that none of them can see why, according to polls, approx half the country is voting Yes and goes " you know what they have a point".
Britain was broken, Gordon Brown was a fool et. Etc. how quickly their tone changes when their wee London cabal is threatened.
The only thing giving me hope is the daily record and Sun front pages on election day 2007 and how despite that the SNP still won out. This seems to be on a different level
Couldn't agree more.
People don't realise that a no vote is not going to bring back the status quo, things have changed, Independence is coming one way or the other.
Get out there early on polling day and cover every village, town and city with saltires and show the press what they're up against.

Just spoken wi wee Einstein doon the road:
Edited is nae the word. When they went in, Yes was so prelavent, they had to tell some to move to undecided.
The wee man said the coverage was farcical, and a new age has grown up to see the state broadcaster for what it is.
Grand.
I heard this morning something similar. The BBC had asked YES voters to sit in the undecided/no side to fill up the seats.
I also heard there was a poll and the vast majority was for YES, but the bbc decided to keep it under wraps.
Anyone else heard this?

I heard this morning from my local SNP councillor that there is around 500,000 new registrations in the whole of Scotland and expects around 80% of them to be voting YES.
He also told me that at his work, in the local council buildings, that he had been told by the person who collates the registrations that it has only been the SNP who has been handing them in for our area, not 1 from the Labour mob.
He also cited the RIC who he said had gathered around 50,000 new registered voters, mainly from the Glasgow area.
Warning! Figures may vary from time to time.

Called asda this morning (John Lewis yesterday) and told them I'll never buy any of their products again.
Everyone should do the same.

Did they mention anything about this?
Snouts still in the trough: Five years after expenses scandal, MPs claim more than ever - and record number employ relatives

Volunteered for YES Falkirk.
To all of you out there.
Try and get some cheap bunting, flags etc. placed on strategic locations around your area just before, or during, polling day.
You would be surprised at the amount of people who will make up their minds in the polling station, the sight of the Saltire might just sway them the correct way.
We have one chance at this.

I'll have a few beers in one of his establishments today for that.

I was just trying to give you more accurate numbers. My main point being that there are 4.2 million registered voters, not 3.2 million. That is quite a significant difference.
Full apologies to you. I stand corrected.
I heard on the radio today that there was indeed 4.2 million registered voters.
Don't get me wrong I still believe that the amounts still seem strange, but I am a man of principle and I have heard the same numbers you have quoted today so I will meekly remove myself from this argument and bow to your better knowledge.

Does anyone have a definitive list of companies, who have spoken out against Independence, that we all should boycott for ever more?

I'm sorry, but there is not 4.2 million registered voters.
4.2 million registered voters and the estimated 800,000 make 5 million people in Scotland over 16 and that leaves just 300,000 under 16s, which I find hard to believe.
The main point is that I was giving rough figures, which I clearly stated.

My accounts are being moved from RBS today.
If I had my money there I would move it also.
Good on you sir.
May I suggest you write to them and tell them why you're not doing any business with them anymore?
-
You need to redo your sums. There are 4.2 million registered voters. So we need about 1.7 million YES votes.
And you need to read "around" more closely and see the part where I said the vast majority haven't signed the declaration.
I should have said at that point that the group I described were of the YES persuasion.
-
If it turns out to be as high as that (which I doubt) that would be good for democracy. Not sure that a high turnout is good for YES though?
Around 4 million voters in Scotland, 800,000 not registered = 3.2 million voters. Now say there is a 80% turnout, that would make it around 2.56 million voters in total.
Now consider that there is [rumoured] to be around 1.3 people who are committed to voting YES by signing the declaration, that is damn close and your point of a higher turnout could be a game changer in these figures.
I do take comfort in the fact that in my circle of family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues that the vast majority haven't signed the declaration though.

i said no to yes, i just worded it differently.
I know you did.
I just thought I'd get the chance to get that in

How do they get get away with publishing that sort of absolute nonsense. Subsidised?? Dependency culture? It truly is staggering they still think that. I hope there is no currency union and those self righteous, ignorant feel the pain of the removal of their "subsidies" to us. It will cripple them.
Did Alan write that?
-
Beeen watching both of these the last couple of days - absolutely laughable with the bias. Fortunately wouldn't imagine any undecideds watching this tripe. Look forward to a bit of proper democracy with a YES vote.
They have been sent by the establishment, down south, to show the natives, Jackie Bailey etc. how to do subtle bias the English way.

I don't think you'll find one, but here is one who who went from no to yes.

RMT Union have balloted members and they're backing Yes.
Someone should get Dougie Alexander back on the blower after his "none of the Unions back Yes" line the other night. This is why most didnt ballot their members.
He was careful to say none of the big unions, but forgot to add all the big unions are based in London (?) and they are UK wide.
Good to here the RMT is onboard the 18-09-14 express to YES though.

Complete nonsense! they've been got at by Cameron.
Peston of the bbc let the cat out of the bag by saying that David Cameron had a secret meeting with the banks and retailers before they went public.
