Picture for reconciliation thread:

Indyref 16 - and the count goes on
Roonerspism · 19/09/2014 05:30

Agreed about a reconciliation thread as there is still tonnes to discuss.

I admire NS more now. Clearly 'Eck bottled it after Clackmannan came in and she has taken the flack on every channel. He apparently won't appear until 10am! Face the camera, man.

Mind, a 55 per cent no still is way closer than we ever thought.

I'm surprised AS hasn't been seen more but he's not the official head of the Yes campaign. He's First Minister for all the people of Scotland, not just those who agree with him. I'll be interested to know what his take will be.

tilliebob · 19/09/2014 05:30

No it's anyone's games still. Being so close there are no real winners. We've all to get on together and go forwards. I kinda envied some of my yes mates huge optimism and belief, even though I totally didn't understand their viewpoint.

HamishBamish · 19/09/2014 05:31

Definitely no gloating here either. Just relief.

ChelsyHandy · 19/09/2014 05:31

Looks like its going to be a much more decisive vote No than in Quebec last time, which was only 1%.

Username12345 · 19/09/2014 05:31

Reconciliation thread?

Were the Yes people kicked off here?

BookABooSue · 19/09/2014 05:31

I imagine AS will make a speech when the final result is announced. It would be odd for him to comment at this stage.

GrouchyKiwi · 19/09/2014 05:31

I drop off to sleep and you've added 600 posts! Pleased at how it's all looking.

Wish Edinburgh would hurry up.

Dh thinks that Alex Salmond always sends Nicola Sturgeon out to give bad news. The fact that he is yet to show his face makes me think he is a coward.

Whatever the result, the politicians have a responsibility to make sure we get a better Scotland out of this.

And I think there will be a lot of healing needed of the divides, often bitter and painful, this has caused.

Altinkum here: BBC results by region

SantanaLopez · 19/09/2014 05:32

They certainly were not kicked off! Everyone has always been welcome on the Indyref threads, provided they were civil and happy to question and be questioned.

We were called BT anonymous though Hmm

Figster · 19/09/2014 05:32

Yes voters will still think they are right which is fine but my sympathies are waning when I look at some of the FB statuses about betrayal and cowArdice

ChelsyHandy · 19/09/2014 05:33

I hope things settle down now. But I have a feeling some people will still be talking about media bias or project fear 30 years from now.

Secretblackandmidnighthag · 19/09/2014 05:33

I am really gutted. So glad there's no crowing and nastiness here in this thread, I couldn't take it right now.

WhatWouldFreddieDo · 19/09/2014 05:34

Username, the Yes folk weren't kicked off anywhere, we just wore them down with our reasonableness Wink and naturally we drifted into 2 or more threads

flippinada · 19/09/2014 05:34

My admiration for NS has increased watching that interview. I thought she was very dignified and carried herself well. Not impressed she was left to carry the can.

My view is, the vote is a relief, not celebration. And we need to work together.

Disliking Hardeep, I'm afraid.

SantanaLopez · 19/09/2014 05:34

Flowers secret. Are you on your own?

JeanneDeMontbaston · 19/09/2014 05:35

Sorry, secret.

sashh · 19/09/2014 05:35

I'm surprised AS

Lol, I'm surprised I never realised his initials spell something that sounds like ass

MorrisZapp · 19/09/2014 05:35

My FB has simply fallen silent.

ChelsyHandy · 19/09/2014 05:35

Hardeep is being very delusional. And interrupting other commentators.

flippinada · 19/09/2014 05:35

*not a time for celebration. I'm sure folk know what I mean.
