Polls closing, results expected in a few hours. Looks too close to call. http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/18/world/europe/scotland-independence-vote/index.html
I'd imagine... Probably go even higher once the results are out. Either lifting a glass in celebration, or for drowning your sorrows in.
The Exit Polls indicate Scotland will stay in the Union. I guess this is a case of the noisy minority drowning out the quite majority over the last weeks. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/scottish-independence-blog/live/2014/sep/18/scottish-referendum-results-live-coverage-of-the-independence-vote
It's a county-by-county result. First four are in and it's a NO. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/512497/Scotland-referendum-results My local managed to get a late licence 'til 4 to show the results live. I went in for a couple of pints, found the place stappit fu' of yes voters and hey...I even managed to keep my mouth shut.
You are a wise man. From what I'm seeing on TV, the "yes" crowd seems to include a lot of very loud and excitable people.
For me, brilliant. Sanity has prevailed. There's supposed to be an imminent news conference form the SNP. Apparently Salmond is resigning, but I no more believe that than any of the rest of his BS.
Great news (both the result and Alex Salmond sodding off). I hope that the UK Govt. does not now go back on promises made to Scotland.
Politicians, keeping their promises? Are politicians more honorable over there? Please don't hold you're breath over a politician keeping his promise. They will find a way to avoid carrying out a promise when it benefits them and leave the electorate holding the bag. Remember, when politicians are not kissing babies, they are trying to steal their candy.
That was the best line from the film "The Hunt for Red October." Jeffery Pelt: Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops.
Well Russia is always keen to point to our own problems. ..Maybe there were shennanigans. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/19/russia-calls-foul-scottish-referendum
Stand by for a civil war! Unionists in bowlers wielding umbrellas vs Independistas in Tams viciously swinging golf clubs. Glasgow kisses. People tossing cabers for no apparent reason. Tea break promptly at ten. Anyone spilling whisky to be beaten senseless by both sides.
