wailing and beating of breasts?

Better Together have got form for pulling out of things, unfortunately in many cases that means debates have to be cancelled as it is seen to be unfair for just one side to speak. I'm not sure if this is a tactic, or just because there genuinely aren't enough BT supporters.

corey - i didnt say there was pride - and i say we dismantled it. Following that as a country we have tried to build a better Britain and Commonwealth.

Did i say it had gone swimmingly? nope. But you see we were in it as a united kingdom.

So go on - sell your birthright for a mess of pottage.

Evening all. As someone further up said.. play nice, definitely nicer than this, please. Absolute carnage (oh, okay, PAs and general nastiness) will not be tolerated. Cheers.

I'm actually quite annoyed at the announcement of another Royal baby at such a tense time in Scotland's future.

Could she not have announced it AFTER the referendum results?? What's ten days or so??

Where is this story of the workers being on gardening leave?

irn really that is low

Aye, Cameron took a sneaky wee trip up to Shetland whilst the Commonwealth Games were on and attentions were diverted:

We're no' daft!

Why would you be annoyed? You really think the prospect of a royal baby is going to switch a Yes voter to a No?

Hilarious.

No WildThong I wish them well, but really, the announcement could have waited. It's very bad timing now.

Even I'd know not to share that kind of news when there's an impending event happening that's really important. There's a time and a place for everything, IMO.

Newsflash: politicians can be a bit sneaky.

A shocking revelation I know.

Odd commentator you said 'define fair?'

I'm voting yes for an independent scotland where we will never have a Tory or blue Labour Party force these unfair polices on Scotland against our democratic will.

I am a scot living in England trying desperately to understand.
Who are bnp and the orange order supporting ? Why has it become a sectarian/fascist debate ?
I find the whole thing quite shocking. I never thought it would be so close, I am afraid for my beautiful country, and what happens after. Half the country will be devastated by the result. Is this what salmond really wanted ?
Madness !!

Yes, I've seen that a few hundred times on Twitter.

Ah, Yet Another Conspiracy!
I remember it now, it's the 'secret' visit where he had his picture taken with a wee pony and tweeted it.

Iirc, it was debunked as mince.

Anyone who thinks the Royal Foetus can tempt Yes votes back to the path of No needs their head examined. Or a new tin foil hat at the very least.

Yes I'm now laughing at the 'Oldest Trick in the Book' cartoon! Fantastic. thanks for that itsall :) Brought a bit humour to the situation I suppose.

A royal baby affecting the referendum?

I thought I saw Kate looking at

This is getting rather silly. I'm out for a day (or two)

It's all- the refusal of BT to partake in debates/public meetings has been going on for 18 months+.

It was a deliberate strategy by them to discourage people from going because they could say 'it was one sided'.

But people saw through this and turned up at meetings anyway.

lucky a sectarian/fascist debate. Not at all, these have nothing to do with the Referendum despite daft accusations being flung. This is just politics.
