I'm glad the United Kingdom is still "United" albeit slightly begrudgingly it turns out.

Just need to focus on putting the "Great" back into Great Britain now!

I agree, Camron is as much use as a chocolate fire guard :thumbdown:

the best thing was the massive turnout. makes our leaders getting about 30% of a 40% turnout look a bit sick !

on a lighter note I think I read that alex salmond was likening himself to William Wallace?

now he,s been beaten can we give him the same as what Wallace got ??

"On 3 August 1305 Wallace was captured in Robroyston, north of Glasgow. He was taken by Sir John Menteith, the uncle of Sir John Stewart who had fallen at the Battle of Falkirk. Menteith had been made sheriff of Dumbarton by Edward. From Dumbarton Castle the captive Wallace was taken south to Carlisle then paraded, bound hand and foot, to London.

Wallace was tried in Westminster Hall on 23 August 1305. A list of his crimes, including murder and treason, were read out. Wallace denied that he was guilty of treason - he had never sworn allegiance to Edward. The verdict and the punishment were decided before the trail began. Wallace was to be given a traitor’s death - he was to be hanged, drawn and quartered."

only joking :lol:

Hold on... I have just been told by a family member up here in Scotland that there is some discrepancies in the counting of the votes. Investigations are taking place.

From what I have read it's total baldrocks from someone that doesn't understand how the votes are counted.

If there was any whiff of rigging, then fatty Salmond wouldn't have resigned. Good riddance to him.

I have just been reading about how 2 telegraph, 1 scottish daily mail and one Express journalists were banned from an SNP press conference, a further Guardian journalist boycotted it too.

The SNP had hand picked the journalists they wanted there and banned anyone that opposed them.

Where the crouton do we live? The USSR? North Korea?

This will turn into an anti socialist rant, but why is it that these things always seem to happen in socialist countries?

Could it be that eventually people realise socialism doesn't work and so to stop open revolt, they have to control the media?

Socialism (and the extreme of Communism) is a lovely theory. Sounds wonderful that all are equal and all get the same opportunities and resources....however it ignores one major factor that will always ruin it. Human nature.

Humans are lazy fkers if given the chance. Why work if there's no gain?

If you're given everything by handout and never have to work and provide for yourself, you will become lazy.

If you do work and they take everything from you to give to everyone else that doesn't, you will soon enough stop making the effort, or just avoid the taxes by moving abroad to a country where hard work is rewarded.

Socialism completely ignores this side of human nature, but because it gives no incentive to work hard and better yourself and your country, it will always fail.

Don't get me wrong though - capitalism in its extreme, with no protection for those that are actually unable to work is just as bad. Take the American health care system, they have one of the lowest life expectancy rates of any developed country. Shameful.

Hard week mate.

Just winds me up all these folk arguing for more benefits. Where do they all think they're gonna from. Why should some have to work so hard when others just get it from the state?
