William Hill still quoting 1/5 No, 10/30 Yes. That's the only pre-election Poll I am believing.

 

Bookies are rarely wrong.

However there would be uproar if any of the chains were to follow through with the threats of differentiating prices between territories.

  Why? There's already price differences within the UK (and within England itself). Can you honestly say you know (or care for that matter) about the price of something in a Northern Irish supermarket, in comparison to the same item in a mainland supermarket?

but we all see how different fuel prices are throughout the country

[techieboy]

Precisely. Petrol in Bedford is generally 3-5ppl more expensive than from the same garage in Milton Keynes, 12 miles away. Fuel companies claim that's down to transport costs, whilst studiously not looking at a map and realising they probably drive through/past Bedford on the way to MK. Look at prices in a Tesco, a Boots or a WHSmiths in London and then look at the same items in provincial stores and they're often different prices. God forbid you look at the price of a Whopper meal in a regular Burger King and then compare it to a motorway service station franchise.

Remember the video I posted earlier when Alec destroyed Nick Robinson? For those who can't be arsed to browse back, this is what really happened. Make your own minds up.

Once the no campaign wins, what's next on the agenda to complain about?

[Rosssco]

Yes, he destroyed him, in his sarcastic, weasely way, whilst avoiding answering questions that are 'beneath him'.. Fecking schister he is... One of the least statesman like politicans I've ever seen..

Overpaid Marines with Nobles

[LY_Scott]

He answered the questions Ross. Fully.

[Rosssco]

No he didn't..! He responded to the question with his own narrative, but didn't answer the question - "why should we believe you over people involved in the industry?"

[techieboy]

Seems reasonable to me. News at Ten is only 27 minutes long so it saved listening to 7:00 minutes of made up shite from Salmond. 

[LY_Scott]

He responded to the points put to him in detail! The question was a leading one and he responded by explaining how stupid it was. In detail! Went into further detail when heckled. Its one of those times where you don't like the response rather than it being inadequate. What did he leave unexplained exactly?

[LY_Scott]

That's fine matt. But he states he didn't answer. The fact is Nick got destroyed and he couldn't take it. They could've left the whole bit out rather than lie.

[Rosssco]

Exactly. He doesn't answer the question directly, instead, he questions the question as a response.. Hey I'm not surprised, if nothing he's consistant...

[LY_Scott]

What did he leave unanswered?

'Why should Scottish voters believe you over the people who know' for starters

 

If there's one thing he beats Boris at, it's bullshit baffles brains

[JohnTurbo]

Interesting fact:- I've had 3 job applications from experienced Scottish mechanical engineers in the last week.

 

Its probably just chance. Its not uncommon to get 1-2 per month, but more often its graduates.

 

It did make me wonder though. Engineers can be terribly opposed to change - for a breed of people who are actively trying to change things as a proffession.

The moaning, conspiracy theories and the 'what ifs' would never end. This is why, for our sanity's sake they need to fu. .. the yes vote needs to win.

[LY_Scott]

Ok so today it's Farage. He's going to be in Glasgow to make a speech to No campaigners. His angle is that we are not really voting for Independence but voting to be part of the EU superstate. We'll be forced to use the Euro immediately and into schengen etc. (Or lessen his estate in 2015 or whatever...as if he gives a shite about majority labour Scottish voters) Yes camp are all encouraging each other to stay away as any disruption will be spun to death. But there is apparently a general anti-ukip gtf you racist bastard type protest happening anyway. Let's see how it plays out over the day. Edit: autospeelingcorrectnots

If there's one thing that can reunite the Yes and No camps, it's the twat that is Farage. Really don't understand why he ventures out of his local pub, let alone north of the border. For sure, he can only damage the No vote.

EFA.

 

Yep, he's a twunt, as is what his party represent IMO. What's slightly inconvenient for the YESNP however, is that some interesting parallels between the isolationist policies of his party and some aspects of the SNP / Scottish nationalism, can be drawn..

 

John's comments on jobs, its difficult to say TBH. I know in my industry and those that surround it, there is a palpable sense of uncertainty at the moment. That may sounds obvious - there's alot of high earners up here, and its pretty obvious on whom the tax burden will fall should an iScotland not get it sums right (the SNP have already failed in that respect, but anyway).

 

The NS industry (as we'll call it) is going through a bit of a quiet spell at the moment anyway, which makes it slightly unclear if the uncertainty of this process is having an effect (although it undoubtedly will at some level), but I know there's a few companies / people just holding off till its all decided. That could be bad or good news, not sure.
