    I learned most of my self defence techniques whilst serving in the British Army though.

    Eh?

    It is Partly about the snp...

    They will win the next two elections for the sp as a minimum...I can actually see 3 wins

    So, they run an independent Scotland, with a majority, for at least 10 years .

    **** that...salmond as Scottish president.

    Another one with a crystal ball, and the lottery numbers are?

    What utter bollocks, none of us have any idea who is going to win in 2016 let alone in 2021 or 2026. With that level of understanding it's no wonder you are confused. <laugh>

    Oh the seas cannot be silent, while Britannia grabs the waves
    Just remember that we n*gnogs will no longer be your slaves!
    And remember that Britannia well, you rule the waves no more
    So keep your hands off Africa, she's Irish to the core!

    So rock on Senegal,
    you'll never fall
    for Britain's greedy hand
    For you'll meet the same resistance,
    like you did in many lands

    VOTE YES

    The media, in general, have framed this whole thing about being an SNP driven thing. Even the coverage yesterday was about Salmond and Salmond only. I don't think the Glasgow yes event was referenced at all.

    It's quite fascinating.

    **** sake, you're even more patronising than st...well done <applause>

    The snp smashed it in the last election...taking many"safe" Labour seats.

    Scottish Labour is a mess,they be nowhere at next election.

    The one after that, it will need a coalition to beat snp

    It wasn't just a Glasgow event, thousands were out in towns and cities across Scotland. Thousands and thousands. If this was outside the UK it would be all over the media; it wasn't mentioned.

    If that doesn't show what kind of a place the UK is and what kind of a propaganda machine the BBC is, nothing will.

    Refuse to pay your TV licence. Why should we pay to be fed lies.

    The yes campaign is driven by the snp.

    As the majority, they raised the question of independence and are driving it home to a possible victory.

    To say it not about the snp, at all, is in my opinion, naive.

    I haven't even started yet, <ok> if you feel patronised that's probably because of your inadquacies rather than anything I have said. And you still insist on predicting an unknown future. Following a YES vote all parties in SCotland will have to change. Labour for Independence are already planning this change. The present Labour looks finished we just can't know the political landscape because it hasn't formed yet.

    The BBC cleared themselves of editorial bias.

    It's not entirely unexpected but from the outside looking in, it's a huge slant.

    Channel 4 gaped the Orangies in Edinburgh and the Beeb just brushed over it. Pravda-esque.

    The SNP only count something like 25,000 members.

    I think its naive to think that it's driven by the SNP or that the SNP will win the next elections. I don't even think the SNP will exist after independence. Loads of them have differing views.
