So I am editing some wedding pics that I took a couple weeks ago.

Didn't notice it at the time...

looks like him :cool:

Wonder what the vote would have been if only Scots born in Scotland and still living in Scotland were allowed to vote.

Good luck with that. If you get the qualification that is and you are able to get on a graduate program that will sponsor you for a visa that is or there are countries willing to take you on a visa with no experience or sponsor.

Anyway, good luck, you sound like you are going to need it...in spades!

That's an Inspector (quite common to have them out and about for things like this), not a Superintendent... Flat braiding on cap and 2 pips on shoulder...
 
Ed Miliband is digging an ever bigger hole on the Andrew Marr program today by refusing to answer the question posed in regards to the West Lothian question and although he says he will stick by the promise made by the party leaders prior to the referendum I can see the labour party going the way of the Tories in Scotland and will probably mean we will be afflicted with the SNP for years to come.
 
^ It's not really a surprise about Milliband though.
It'll be interesting to see what happens over the coming weeks and months, I really hope that there is some form of progress made and I also think it needs to be reform all round - not just in Scotland.
I think you are partly right about labour in Scotland, they are going to be pretty unpopular although I think that has been coming for a while.
I think we need a new party, the SNP has now created a divide so the people who were rebelling against the tory and labour voted for them, now they need another choice that isn't pro-independence but that wants change - and isn't the tory or labour.
 
Politics in Scotland is going to be a mess for years to come, people are going to be hacked off with the SNP, and wonder what is the point of them now that the IndyRef failed, and people aren't going to want to go with Labour because they see them as a failure even more. I can't see the turnouts being very high anymore.
 
I can already predict an incredibly long and boring fist shaking exercise on the basis that apparently all no voters were lured into their position with the misleading promises under 'the pledge'.
 
I just heard on the radio something along the lines of "SNP members are criticising Westminster for already being behind schedule with the implementation of the new delegated powers".

lol?!
 
Posters put up by 'No Thanks' brigade had promised a ratified schedule on the devolvement of further powers by the end of day on September 19th, we are still waiting. The vote was won on the back of a fraudulent 'vow'.

I agree, it will be a mess for years to come.

I'm not so sure about the SNP thing though. They have just had a surge of popularity because of their failure in the referendum. Many of the Yes supporters are backing them in the hope they can secure another referendum quicker. They just can't accept defeat with their campaigning for a re-vote. Not even just a recount, they want to do the whole thing again, because someone realised they put some No votes in the Yes pile, caught on video.

My facebook is awash with this. Calling fraud, and asking to do it all again. And if they fail under the fraud calling, they want it all again in less than 5 years.

Muppets. They were told it's a once in a generation vote. Just because they didn't get their way, they call foul.

It is ridiculous. They are scrabbling about trying to remain relevant it seems.
 
Unfortunately I though we might end of with the: foul, fraud, and stich up coming out after the result.
As you say xs2man, my Facebook is also awash with people wanting recounts or a re vote, petitions for something or other cos they've been robbed and cheated in an undemocratic process.
We could all do with a few days off, calming down and then coming up with a way of all moving forward together.
Fingers crossed.....

Well it's happened. Bad losers can't accept a result and are clutching a straws. It's rather pathetic and they can ask for a new vote in another 307 years.
 
Just sell off the gas / oil extraction rights now so that the whole UK benefits. This would surely remove the only real reason for an economically viable independent Scotland.
 
Was anyone actually surprised by this?! They bottled it when it mattered.

Bet a lot of the 'no' voters went down the pub after and told their mates that they voted 'yes'.

Anyways, glad to see the majority of Scottish people have some level of intelligence and that Scotland has remained part of the UK!
 
I was a yes voter - I don't like the way politics works in the UK and this was an opportunity to potentially change that, I was fully aware that there would have been tough times, could have even voted myself out of a job, but for me it could have been something much better in the long term.

The biggest tell we've had is after two years of it not being about party politics, as soon as the result was confirmed, westminster politicians went straight back to party politics with it. Not surprised at all but I have seen some of no voters on social media saying they regret their no vote.

I would guess there will be another referendum very quickly if the promises that solidified a vote were reneged on - the whole point in a democracy is that the people have a voice, so surely if enough people want something they will vote for it, to say there won't be another one for x number of years doesn't really work unless you can see into the future.
