My son's school found out today that they voted 53% Yes in Midlothian. Wait 10 years and get rid of the self-serving coffin-dodging bastards. Game on.
-
A legend. The vilification of him was disgusting.
-
No need to apologise. Still trying to figure out how we all got it so wrong, and why our canvass returns were so out.
-
Cameron appears to now be saying that further powers will happen. However, they will also be given to England, Wales and NI. Isn't this simply diluting any powers we are given?
-
I think they will, I think they know they have to. But I think it will be some cobbled together ninsense than when you scrape beneath the surface actually offers very little at all. And to be honest, we can't complain, or those who voted No can't complain. They were warned. Don't come running to me whining about bloody politicians at Westminster. You just gave them carte blanche to tear the heart out if Scotland. And they will tear it out, because they're never going to allow this to happen again.

There's only one thing worse than someone not being gracious in defeat, and that's someone not being gracious in victory. I fkn hate Johann Lamont.

Absolutely gutted. Really didn't see this coming. T'was the rich and the old wot won it for them imo. Not sure I really want to put my thoughts into the public domain. But if any No voter ever complains about anything Westminster imposes on us against our will I'm not sure I'll be able to hold myself back.

Mum was absolutely adamant she was abstaining, dad was a long time undecided. Just texted that they'd both voted Yes.
-
Pretty sure it was these guys I saw in Danderhall this morning, with a saltire and Canadian flag on their jackets. All sounds incredibly positive:
-
The blue rinse brigade came out in 2011 and it was depressing to watch. In the end it mattered not a jot. Seen quite a few angry old ones, feeling we're taking away their country.
-
Big party in Edinburgh tonight too. Marched from the Meadows to the Scottish Parliament. I was crossing over the crossroads on the Royal Mile and had a feeling that we are going to do this - just so much support coming from onlookers.
-
He also mentioned more women than men. Jeane Freeman then added that they aren't catching the group that have never voted before. All good for Yes.
-
The Prognosis poll was the second in 24 hours. First had Yes at 51%, second one at 55%.
-
Our stalls were overflowing at the weekend. Began to run out of stuff again. Virtually no-one at the No campaign for the second week in a row. They had little more than old age pensioners. We can do this.

On my phone so not sure if this will work, but Scotland Song (Something Better) by Alan Smart

Yes, but they support who they think are going to win.
-
Auld folks eh.
Age breakdown panelbase/ @thesundaytimes poll: 16:34 57% Y: 43% N, 35-54 55% Y: 45% N, 55+ 38%Y: 62%N ...over 55s just save Union

James Cook says 51% to No.
-
Scottish Labour are now lying about canvassing results
It's like Hitler in the bunker in 1945
Area where i stay was 66% Yes 3 weeks ago yet Monica Lennon has tweeted that fud Greatrex saying it was a No area lol
There has been zero No canvassers in the last 3 weeks

From Scot Goes Pop
One obvious possibility we shouldn't discount is that BT have used their vast resources to commission several private polls from different companies, and have simply published the worst one for Yes (ie. 'publication bias'). Today's figures are, of course, well within the margin of error of a 49% Yes vote - exactly the same as yesterday's poll.
Exactly what I said to my wife.
-
Is there an ICM poll out today? This from The Telegraph:
"The Survation poll this weekend put Unionists eight points ahead of the Yes campaign. But an ICM poll, which shows support for independence leading by a similar margin, cannot, and will not, be ignored."
-
Alistair Darling just got jeered out of Dalkeith. The main cheers were Red Tory and P45
-
Dont know if it's been mentioned elsewhere but Labour councillor apparently stepped down from Inverclyde council tonight in relation to #indyref and Newsnet are tweeting they know of 2 Labour MSPs voting Yes. Not clear if these Labour members are being lined up for a Yes set piece next week, but if true and Yes have some Labour members in their pocket for a high profile declaration next week, the game is up.
Wasn't it Margo MacDonald said that half the Labour MSPs at Holyrood had sympathy for a Yes vote? That might be an over-exaggeration, but there must be some. I don't know enough about them to say who they would be.

And it eventually descends into the uninformed and threatening (complete with snazzy bow tie):
Nationalism is an ugly force, accentuating and exaggerating minor differences, creating and exploiting perceived grievances. It’s worth pointing out that in the event of a ‘yes’ vote, it would be the fiduciary duty of the rump UK government to negotiate the absolute best deal for its taxpayers — which would mean no more favours to Scotland. The SNP will reap what they sow, but it is the ordinary British citizen who will ultimately lose out. We will all be diminished.

Got a great pic yesterday of Ronnie Brown heading out to vote at Danderhall, and hugging the Yesser doing polling duty. It all seemed so rosy then.
