I LOVE reading stuff like this. Keep them coming Scotty!

[Zuber]

It is interesting to see the stats split by age, gender, region, combo of those etc. if only so the SNP can do some maths and figure when next to go for another vote. That'll be when everyone over 50 is dead then

 

I think you might be onto something. The SNP might want to reconsider it's pledges regarding the NHS. Do you really want to increase the life expectancy of people, when it just means they will vote you out...

 

Maybe they have already been experimenting with this. That would explain the difference in life expectancy north of the boarder, fried Mars bars and so on  

[Claws]

A fried Mars bar is like a wild Haggis...yet to see one.

[LY_Scott]

Never had one either. Seen a chippy in the grassmarket selling them for £2 each during the festival. Tells you a lot about them and who buys them. They're a bit of an modern myth.

[Rosssco]

They're a bit of an modern myth.

I guess none of you guys went to school in Airdrie then..

[LY_Scott]

Lol naw.

[G-Bob]

I've had one.

 

Kinda tastes like a cross between a warm eclaire and a chocolate filled churro.

Alex Salmond disappears into the sunset. It was never going to happen. The scots are not stupid.

Excuse me! I dispute that vociferously! Loads of us are stupid as sh!t.

Alex Salmond disappears into the sunset.

We can only hope 👍 but somehow I don't think that he will be able to keep quiet with his lifetime obsession. I wonder how many "no" voters would have voted "yes" had there been a better informed eloquent leader.

Yeah, but the other 10% voted "No" for valid reasons

• Six weeks before polling day, you decide that this election is the seminal moment of your life. You will mark this historic epiphany by changing your Twitter profile and/or Facebook picture to reflect your vote.
• You set about carefully educating yourself on the key issues of the election by watching the most inflammatory, ill-informed and reactionary YouTube clips that endorse your position.
• You will attack any unfavourable polling published in newspapers, demanding to know the “sample size” even though it’s clearly written at the bottom of every article. You will then skillfully discredit the data by posting comments such as: “Well they didn’t ask me.”
• You convince yourself that “biased media” is lying to voters. You post comments on the Facebook walls of the “prejudiced cabal”, decrying their duplicity before vowing never to return. Ten minutes later you return to post another series of comments.
• You find yourself using the sentence, “I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but…” before detailing a nefarious plot incorporating the secret service, Rupert Murdoch and the Bilderberg group – all of whom are in cahoots to rob you of your vote
• You decide that voters and politicians opposing your position are mentally ill, and it’s your duty to combat their falsehoods through attacks on Twitter. Anyone posting facts is to be exposed as a traitor and agent of the state.
• You then join a Facebook group investigating election fraud and sign a petition demanding the “rigged” vote is rerun.
• Despite being weary from a hard-fought election campaign in which you haven’t knocked on a single door or made a single phone call, you pull yourself away from your computer to go and get pissed while the results roll in
• The day after defeat you console yourself with the knowledge that the fight isn’t over. "The campaign begins again in earnest," you say, defiantly. You are now on the front line, a relentless activist for a better future.

Is this your idea of a distraction from the fracking news Ross?

[Rosssco]

No no, I just saw it and thought of this thread..

 

What's the fracking news?

[LY_Scott]

Scots 'must get powers on fracking' http://www.bbc.co.uk...litics-29374335

[Rosssco]

I agree, should be devolved to the SG.

 

I would have thought 'power' in this respect lies with local councils anyway, not central governments. And if it doesn't it should (albeit some leeway must be given for the major projects, so that they are not thwarted by ever-present NIMBYism..)
