kumnio Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 The only funny thing is, Lamont as next permanent First Minister, will be a scream. Sadly I expect Salmond to go tomorrow, it's a terrible pity that it's all over like this. It just can't get any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I expect Salmond to go tomorrow, it's a terrible pity that it's all over like this. It just can't get any worse. I'm honestly depressed at the thought of what's going to be left in this country for any kids I have in future. I fully expect when Labour get back in Holyrood to get back into bed with private firms in PFI for NHS, bring in tuition fees and scrap free prescriptions.

Auld_Reekie Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yep, Salmond will resign pretty sharpish. SNP is in a very tricky position now. Scotland doesn't want independence and trying to bang that drum will be counter productive. Best result now is to rebrand in support of DevoMax and hammer the next moves by Labour et al. Best of luck to them because I couldnt care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibble Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Unfortunately, for those of us not 'home', we saw the Tamb as a reflection of how the whole of Scotland wid vote. And we - in general, I think - were happy. Unfortunately (again), voters lie to pollsters - and why not? The status quo works for so many people, they don't want tae rock the good ship UK - it's self-interest. Thatcher did this! She left a legacy where folk did not give a flying one for anyone else - save themselves. Not even if it meant crapping on those who came after them - 'Pull the ladder up, I'm doing fine', was her mantra. Scotland is naturally a socialist country - with a few exceptions - those espousing independence need to re-educate those who have strayed... that way, we get true independence. (IMHO.)

Toepoke Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I can't see Salmond resigning. He was elected primarily to serve a 5 year term as First Minister. The referendum was a manifesto pledge which has been delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to them because I couldnt care less. I'd offer up a different approach. A socialist Scottish republican party is what is needed now. One that's not afraid to offend the Brits and boycotts the BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Michael Gove now popped up, expressing satisfaction with the way things are going. Where was he when the going was tough? At least Brown and Murphy put a shift in. Edited September 19, 2014 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a cash cow that will only get moved on when they have milked us dry - not in the next 10 years unless we force the issue and stop giving.

saintlyscot Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Been a lack of coordination in Perth and Kinross at recent elections but with a big majority it has mattered not a jot. Today it came home to ruse on the biggest day of all. Lack of on the day campaign material embarrassing. Totally out pointed by NO and that was not good enough.

Wibble Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) F*ck me, Falkirk a No as well? Kelpies for 'Yes'! Stevie: I just don't get it. I watched Scots celebrating on so much of the meeja (not just on UK stuff but on the channels on satellite) - as I wid - and naturally assumed it wid be a close run thing.... I'm gutted. Seriously, where you live, did you really believe we could/should have done it? Are our countrymen/women liars? BTW: fat, 10-chinned, UKIP QQQQunt saying heis party's gonnae win a seat in Gtr Manchester - aye, right! Edit: and he's saying Alex is the Mugabe of Scotland!!! I will pursue the UKIP knobs across Gtr Manchester and no doubt get lifted when I confront them. (Grrrrrr....)
