redstevie007 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I remain baffled by the Orkney and Shetland voting figures. Is there a large English population on these Islands? Serious question just can't get my head round it? Just as we see ourselves as seperate from the UK, they see themselves as seperate from us, particularly Shetland who reckon they're Vikings or fuckin Eskimos or something. Maybe seals?

morag Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Ye ken, I was greeting when I read that, exactly how I feel and I was doing the same ! Like Kumnio said, everyone who voted no has just let themselves and their country be raped!!!! I'm gutted but, I'm glad to say I'm very proud of those who did vote YES and like myself done their own wee bit of campaigning for the cause! I'm also glad to say I'm angry and we all need to find ways of fuelling that anger into something positive for future change! Dinnae gie up, as an auld wummin in Wardieburn said to me yesterday, "we might lose the battle, the war's still to be won!!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flumax Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I remain baffled by the Orkney and Shetland voting figures. Is there a large English population on these Islands? Serious question just can't get my head round it?Please can we stop with this idea that is English residents who voted no. There were two million scots who did this. Mentioning English plays into the hands of folk who think we are all raving braveheart nats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning English plays into the hands of folk who think we are all raving braveheart nats. I appreciate that bud. I repeat it was a genuine question not a point score against the English per se. I don't know the make up of the population, I assumed they were working class rural types so was amazed at how their vote went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I remain baffled by the Orkney and Shetland voting figures. Is there a large English population on these Islands? Serious question just can't get my head round it? A bit like the Borders, the northern isles are one of the last Liberal strongholds in Scotland...and like the Borders the concept of Scottish nationalism has never really taken off there. They have their own economic climate and are well-off enough to curb any thoughts of anything radical...like independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faddyisyerdaddy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Cheers Rossy thanks,. Just couldn't get my head round how they would feel "British" given their location. I guess it's another bunch of "haves" voting for self interest then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoltanBuchan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Anyone else not notice how dark Scotland is today? No smiling, crowing or parties in the street. It's basically like a funeral - you see a Yes flag/badge on a person and give a smile without opening your mouth, but deep down you are absolutely gutted and hurting. They say a pessimist is never disappointed...so why have I been so devastated today? Never once did I think we'd win, but the reality still crushed me.
