    It seems intriguing that so many 'watchers' (being other interested parties from around the world) state that they couldn't believe that Cameron, the British Government ever allowed the Referendum to happen. I think there is now some cynicism beyond the Scots, about the validity of the offer.


    I think it's very possible that it was a nothing more than a Dog & Pony Show trying to gain votes. Where there was never any concept that the British Government would have to concede anything, let alone a whole Country.


    Then the panic set in ... promises made ....and now it looks like there are already words of retraction. Go Figure.


    1.6+M voted yes ....but you'd be stupid to think that many more voted no, only because of the concern, the threat!


    Another very interesting point from the German Chancellor, or words connected to that story. Is the UK thinking about pulling out of the EU completely? I'd heard rumours for years ... plus the fact (which I think was smart) that they never fully engaged in some areas ... the currency being one.


    Interesting that the whole 'trade' threat was used against Scotland, when the UK may be considering leaving anyway .... who are they going to trade with, if the EU is the only answer?


    Thoughts?
    simple reality, if you look at the reaction around the world there seems to be a collective sigh of relief. but this would be for there own reasons and not exactly if it was good for the UK or Scotland itself.
    the surprise at the pommy government allowing the vote at all is really an indication of the lack of democracy of the Peaple who were surprised.

    and again is no refection on the pommy government.

    however, the pommy government must realize that some investment is needed in the north. the issue is not going to go away with the vote. there is odiously a large number of people who feel disenfranchised to hark after fanatic history and the blind and foolish believe that they would be better off on there own.
    i think the ensuring violence sort of confirms that!

    But how will it affect us in Australia?? apart from a thread in a forum and a couple of Scottish Mates who bore the crap out of me with there distorted view of history and inability to see that the majority of what they are complaining about is actually there own folt and not the governments. the winging pom of the 50s-60s has been replaced by the winging Scot.

    Terry,

    I was cool as a cucumber when I wrote that.

    I was demonstrating how de-constructive it can be when there are topics that could be discussed but aren't because of the completely, unnecessary inflammatory language that's used by some.

    I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.

    Cheers.
