To fear the outcome of Indyref?

[thehajduk]

My husband is half Scottish and half English and I am seriously worried that he will be heartbroken on Thursday if Scotland votes Yes! He is worried that our little boy's British identity will be undermined. Thus he took this picture and is hoping that all of us who care will take a similar photo with a similar message to show Scotland that we care.
Not all of us get to vote, and it’s Scotland’s decision - and Scotland’s alone - to make. But all 60 million of us care what that decision is, and we have a few days now to show everyone in Scotland how much.

We shared this message on Facebook and Twitter and many have followed - here is our hope that those of us on Mumsnet who care about the British identity of our children will follow.

Please take your photo and choose your hashtag #LetsStayTogether #PleaseDontGo #NoThanks

Not sure who was asking about the mumsnet poll but I never have info like that on my profile or use local. There was a thread asking for people who were in Scotland to take part.

I got an email.

I think I'll nip to Willie Hills tomorrow to put on a wee bet.

I think I should put a bet on Yes just to cheer me up a bit if it's a Yes

Yeah, Bright, we're all friends here!

While I'm here....

Be warned I'm about to totally out myself...

I have a Danish neighbour who I know has been in the country at least 20 years, was maybe born there but has certainly lived her life in the majority, here.

We were blathering over the fence about the referendum and she said she was a no but she isn't able to vote because she's Danish.

I told her no, that doesn't matter she should have a vote. She said because she's from a country that isn't in the EU or the commonwealth that she can't.

I know that's horseshit, tried to explain that it was horseshit but she was adamant this was the case. And did tell me she gets a vote in Danish election s. Wtf? Am I missing something here?

For the record I've known of her, not her personally but I was at school with her brother, and know they left Denmark when they were kids, my and dad British.

I don't get it. You'd think after all the time I've spent on stalls I'd heard it all but this baffled me.

I'm not sure I would go as far as to say fan LovelyRita but I certainly don't understand the personal vitriol poured on him.

Agree with him or not but he's spent his life passionately campaigning for something he truly believes in. I think that's worthy of more respect than is often shown.

I would not agree with David Cameron on almost any point if politics but I see little point in being rude about him personally.

I'm very disappointed in Nick as I mentioned before and I can't seem to bring myself to be polite about Mr Farage so I generally avoid mentioning him.

I'll save you being polite - Farage is a wanker

Now that is something everyone can agree on.

I quite like him too

There, I said it.

LovelyRita I don't think that can be right. My friend's Iranian Dad has a vote.

Wot NIGEL FARAGE?

Farage is like that embarrassing uncle that you just know is going to cause offence at the dinner table.

It's just a pity he met up with others of his ilk and formed a party. Even worse, people are taking him seriously.

Statistically, my DHL has bet a couple of hundred quid on Yes so at least if it is a Yes vote we can go on a nice holiday to console ourselves.

Btw it's been a very long time since the OP posted.

I hope we didn't scare you away or upset you OP we're just passionate/worried /nervous.

You can vote if:

"Can I vote?

You can vote in the referendum if you are registered to vote in Scotland, and are 16 or over on 18 September 2014 and are:

· a British citizen living in Scotland

· a European Union citizen living in Scotland, or

· a qualifying* Commonwealth citizen living in Scotland

So she should be able to.

No! Salmond! That was an unfortunate cross post.

I did wonder!

I'm actually quite worried that Farage may be the best and nicest person in UKIP. This terrifies me.

I have never been so ashamed of my nation as the day we voted in a UKIP MSP.

Statisically that would imply my friend's Dad is a citizen, I didn't know. So interesting, I must ask her.

Agree with him or not but he's spent his life passionately campaigning for something he truly believes in. I think that's worthy of more respect than is often shown.

really? I can think of plenty of people who that describes for whom I have no respect at all. Dr Ian Paisley for one, albeit he had to concede a little towards the end.

Rita I've just noticed thatI've been calling you Lovely all evening when you are in fact Lovley this is unforgivable given that I was seething earlier when someone called me Brightbutchchilly.

I am not in the least butch.

Although you do seem lovely.

I don't know how long he's been here Brightbutchilly but I think quite a large number of Iranians came over to the UK after the revolution.

Yes stats that would be right, his adult children were all born here.

Phaedra Dr Paisley is an excellent example. I disagreed with every political opinion he ever had.

But I'd never use that as an excuse to slander him personally.

I heard a BBC journalist ask the First Minister of our country about a poll in which women were asked to rate how attractive he was. Really???

How does that move the political debate forward? I don't care what the man looks like.

I think that was the poll from here.
