Roll back ten years and nobody would have thought you could out spin the labour party. Forward on til now and its gobbled up as pravda because people want to believe it as it fits their view of the world. The yes side is much the same at this stage.

The vow yesterday is a respin of a spin of another spin from spring time. A thought that spin only exists on one side is a completely blind one. People will believe what they want to believe, myself included.

Read what I said; I never suggested spin was on one side only. Trying to put spin on what I said as well? Thank gollum this is 'over' soon.

[LY_Scott]

Well you did say that. As you sighted my posts as all spin. I'll be glad when its all over soon too.

Especially when his nadger's out.

I'm quite tempted to bet on yes with the current odds!

This is what I said:-  'This whole independence thing, win lose or draw, is creating a generation of bar room politicians, Scott being one of them, absolute masters of the art of spin.'

 

This suggests the spin is on both sides, 'the whole independence thing', yes and no voters. The fact that I used you as an example is not being biased to one side or the other, only that you are the perfect example.

 

Approx. 36 hours and counting.

Of course, it may be the reason that few major news papers 'support' the Yes campaign, as they realise under scrutiny, its doesn't make a lot of sence on a  progressive social, economic or political basis..

 

And maybe most have came to that conclusion on their own. Or maybe its all just a conspiracy!

I just can't wait for Scott to stop preaching it on Facebook

Ross kind of illustrates you'll believe what you want to believe at this point. Let's see how it goes.

How so Scott? I just posed that perhaps a more probable theory that Scottish-Based newspapers may not support the Yes campaign for reasons with the campaign itself, not for anything more sinister, and this would perhaps partly reflect the fact that they see little merit in that campaign, although most have tried to remain neutral until the last minute..

 

I suspect the Sunday Herald played a blinder by siding with the Yes camp, and I know circulation figures have went through the roof since it did... Its good business when you're one of the few selling what many want to hear..

One last video from two thumbs TV. I was at this meeting in methilhill. Tommy was on form. You can say what you like about Tommy but he has had a massive impact on this campaign at a grassroots level. 110 speeches, (you've probably not heard about that but will have heard about Jim Murphy doing 100 towns..) the final one tonight at George Sq. He's attracted packed out venues and thousands of views on the videos that were put on YouTube.

It won't work mate, I've been trying to knock sense into you for months now... You are far too far gone..

 

Tommy Sheridan... The more eh, "vocal" side of the debate.. A man comprehensively driven by his hatred of the Tories...

[Gedi]

I'm amazed so many intelligent people in Scotland have allowed themselves to get 'so far gone'. The heart clearly rules the mind.

 

It's gotta be the most ludicrous campaign ever, built on complete uncertainty, ignorance and intimidation. It's little wonder everyone outside of Scotland finds it so crazy.
