Last night of the Proms on the BBC has certainly convinced me

[QUOTE=CropleyWasGod;4167648]The one fact I take from these polls is that Support for Yes has risen over the past 4-6 weeks, and looks to have held its gains, even after the crazy past week with No throwing everything and anything at YesQuote:

I won't believe anything they say again.
I won't be in it either way. It's just a point of view. I'm not asking you or anyone else to agree. I'm just venting / expressing / speaking (choose the verb). However, with folk like you in it, most would be better out of it... in my most humble of opinions...Quote:

Every country has its crosses to bare mate ...... The sectarian divide IMO does not have the same social impact it once had, though it would be foolish to pretend it has gone away. Yes you still have the stupid marches and the crap at football, but I highly doubt what school you went to has as big an affect on job prospects as it once had, even in the west.Quote:

We live in a country where we've seen exponential growth in food banks, children living in poverty, indiscriminate attacks on the disabled, the bedroom tax, billions set to be frittered away on weapons of mass destruction, mps troughing expenses at record levels, the gap between the rich and poor widening at an alarming rate.Quote:

You clearly can't see that for most of us voting yes it's less about "me" and more about "us"
That is outrageous. I'm getting properly disgusted by some of the headlines and coverage from the pro-union media and better together campaign.Quote:

The telegraph headline is disgusting. These are educated people making decisions to run these stories. Truly awful
Just totally wrong on so many levels. Throw into that the amount of serviceman who were sent out to their deaths fighting wars in Iraq and afghanistan that were never about preserving the Union..Quote:

Quite simply sc@m. No depths these t@ssers won't plummet. Ironic as I seen yesterday a bit about the thousands of Sikhs who had died in the wars.Quote:

Future over past, hope above fear, confidence over insecurity, a voice louder than a whisper, the poor as much as the wealthy...
Prepare yourself for their desperation to get even worse over the next 5 days. That is absolutely shocking!!!!!!!Quote:
