If you read the article you'll find it's not just bagpipes which are targeted.

Thought bagpipes were found 1000bc in the middle east somewhere. I loved Mull of Kintyre getmecoat
Trivia

The bagpipes used in the soundtrack for the documentary braveheart were actually irish bagpipes as scottish ones are too unpleasant


I was hoping that as punishment for having the referendum that scottish bagpipes would be completely banned (apart from when you are riding a unicycle dressed as darth vader playing the imperial march)

They haven't sadly
Is that a factoid? I don't even remember any scene in Braveheart where bagpipes are played but I'll look out for them during my weekly viewing tomorrow.

The moment has passed as the referendum has happened.

What we need is people on both sides of the debate - including YOU - to accept the outcome and move on.

You haven't got it memorized?

The SNP will be marking your card as a traitor

They are on the soundtrack not in the film

I'll be happy to amend my statement to "rarely" if you can quote an instance where you have provided your personal insight or analysis on the referendum.

Good news

I fking hate you
When the DUP are actually pointing out the obvious to the Tory Party and they still aren't listening, then it might be time to actually direct your ire at them and not the SNP for the breakup of the Union Wigothy wink

I was being facetious. If you read the article you'll find they're not being banned at all.

Here's an opportunity for some personal insight on a historical matter, Edinburger. "In your opinion", what other possible reason was there for voting yes, not included below?

McWigglebum4th said:
And the reason 1.6million voted YES despite the obvious lies from the SNP i put down to the following factors

1 Being morons
2 Hating the English
3 Believing the lies that everything wrong in there life was the fault of those to the south (or is that UKIP voters)
4 Hating the 2 main parties in westminster and grasping any straw to get rid of them (or is that UKIP voters)
5 A deep rooted desire for independence of scotland even if it would wreck the economy and bring huge hardships to the poor
5 A belief that we are somehow better then others and we are being held back by them (or is that UKIP voters)

A quick Google shows that one track in Braveheart makes use of the uilleann pipes, which are Irish.

No. I don't think you ever offer personal insight.

You're avoiding the opportunity to provide some personal insight just now, right?

Those aren't "reasons"! They're an insight into Wiggley's warped view of the world.

Other genuine reasons for voting Yes could be as follows:

1. To enable decisions about Scotland to be made by the people of Scotland in Scotland
2. To use the natural resources of Scotland to improve the quality of life in Scotland
3. To remove Trident
4. To not get involved in wars which don't concern us
5. To manage our own international affairs
6. To have parties governing Scotland who attract a majority vote in Scotland

Those aren't my personal views but they are some of the reasons for which many people votes Yes.

I've shared my own vote and the reason for that earlier in this thread.

Then I suggest you spend some time looking up the many posts I've made on PH and deciding for yourself.

Not that I care what you think about my posting style!

Sounds in line with what other polls are showing.
