Who is bogging off after the YES vote?
Discussion
I think without a shadow of a doubt - scotland will become independant one day - today was just not the day.
We are not ready yet but I hope in the future we will.
I think one thing we should remember is that regardless of if someone voted yes or no - people voted for the better of scotland.
When voting we should also keep in mind what is also better for the rest of the UK too and as such come to a more balanced conclusion.
Anyway its all done - I was a no voter - the concept of a yes vote was great but in reality; well its always different.

Agree. And following the logic; if Scotland, as one region of the UK, is to get additional discretionary tax raising powers so should the other regions. London, for example.In my book that's the only equitable way of doing this.
Just handing more power over to the Scots in isolation will cause more resentment - and there's plenty of that now we all know just exactly what the more bone-headed of Salmond's supporters have to say about English/British/Scots who dared vote No. And the verbal and physical intimidation that's been going on and that Salmond refused to condemn.
Aye, and he'll be wiggle'n his bum up the road to Strichen!.
The sad thing is that this man and his party managed to do so much damage to this country and opened wounds that will take a long time to heal. Very interesting that the only areas where they won were the traditional extreme left. I mistakenly thought those days were behind us. Well done all those who
voted with their heads.

I think this referendum has put the wool over many peoples eyes in terms of WHO are the real problem in this country and that is the people in power, the council heads and the greedy son of a b
hes who only care about their own pockets. Council, officals and any other sort of civil servants are not bothered about providing a service which should be their number one objective but its to make more money which is not to fullfill better services but to fill management pockets.
Council and authorities come up with such amazing schemes to bring out camera to catch people in yellow junction boxes or a bus lane or any other sort of racked up bulls
t reason to raise money and in a way I am for it IF AND ONLY IF we were getting better public transport, better NHS services better schools better standards of living, better roads. But this is certainly not the case - the roads are crap, the NHS service is going down the toilet, people are struggling to get their kids into schools in their area or of their choice, OAP's are treated like dirt and people who want to work struggle to get help.
All the while we see top heads on 100k-200k plus jobs....
Some of the madness I see is crazy. In my local area they built a new clock approx 2m x 2m big to make the train station look nice from the outside which had a confirmed cost of 200k GBP! but inside they didn't even give it a lick of paint, roads have potholes, housing is in demand and the list goes on.
The time will come when it will be the "people" against the "power" - I do not see a single leader in the UK that can be looked up to or respected. Most won't even listen to them because they don't have posses the basical fundemental skills or personality to draw peoples attention or condience.

Well except for the knuckle dragging Neanderthals in Galsgow.
Indeed. Some of my fellow Glaswegians (people I have called friends) have been out in force on social media spouting some of the most bigoted, cringeworthy, aggressive abuse that makes me embarrassed to be associated with them by virtue of being from the same City.yellowbentines said:

Well if they can behave the way they do on 2 sides of Glasgow over 22 eejits kicking a ball around how do you think there going to behave when something this big divides them?Janluke said:
Seems the only one bogging off after a yes vote is Alex Salmond :-)
No I do think he may have been joined by a few of the YES men/women that were posting in here by their absence .I thought the yes campaign was at best a poorly thought out charade and at worst a bigoted, racist, divisive frankly disgraceful liturgy against the English who had no say in the matter and have less rights than the Scots. I have family both sides of the border and feel sorry that it could not have been conducted in a better way and feel that ultimately that was the YES campaign downfall. I`m very glad he is gone and hope the SNP realise the disservice they have done for the average Scot.
