To be concerned about national unrest in a post-referendum Scotland?

So I live in Scotland, I am Scottish., we know it's coming one way or another, but the main thing that worries me is what happens AFTERWARDS? This is going to be very close possibly I guess around 50/50. Either way this means that 50% of the country are going to be hugely unhappy with the result and this is absolutely bound to lead onto to trouble.

What plans are in place to make sure and ensure that we won't have to face some ugly demonstrations and some nasty situations? People feel very strongly about this either way and it can not be denied that strong feeling and politics don't mix well.

This is a serious question so I really don't want to be shot down please.

I'm trying to defend Glaswegian men but..... All the ones I know are short! haha.

But I hope someone who has bigger friends will put their tuppence worth in.

Fingers crossed (and voting slips) - hoping for a 'no' vote. I don't like change (or SNP). I can't imagine anyone rioting on the streets in the event of a 'no' or 'yes' vote where I live.

Get yourselves to Edinburgh ladies. I don't think the men here are particularly short (or maybe I'm just really short...)

I'll pop across to Edinburgh at the weekend MrsMag, metre stick in hand. I'm very fond of Glaswegian men by the way, very witty, I just wish some of them were taller.

Excellent point.

But I have a massive crush on Kevin Bridges, so I might not be reliable.

I think Paisley might take issue with Glasgow as claiming Gerard as their own! Wink

I think the only way their ever might be civil unrest is if Westminster follows through on their threat to not honour a Yes vote...

I like Kevin, funny guy but I'm very generously going to say 'he's all yours!'.

I can't have a crush on Kevin Bridges, he's the same age as my son. But he is very funny.
