UK can fuck off-thankfully Farage might be useful for taking England out of both Europe and Britain at the same time, and you'll deserve what you get when it arrives as it isn't the same nationalism as in Scotland.
Wow dude, read your other post with interest and enjoyed how passionate you are, however that is just throwing your toys out of the pram and is offensive.

Offensive? Salmond being compared to Mugabe in the press is offensive. Scotland being compared to the Weimar Republic by the BBC is offensive. Twats like Ben King who'se families own thousands of acres of land in Scotland and claim millions in farming subsidies a year for doing nothing with it holding 'we love you Scotland' events in Trafalgar Square are offensive. Unfounded forecasts of violence and chaos throughout Scotland made by the PM are offensive. A great many of the posts in this thread are deliberately offensive and operate on lazy generalities and stereotypes. Take umbrage with that first then I might reevaluate how much I give a shit if my post offends you.
UKIP are openly racist, and they have enough influence to be creating a big crisis of policy within the Tories. They'll be focused on ensuring there's an in/out vote on Europe, and stirring up enough bile to make sure it happens. That's a fact, whether you like it or not, and by using the referendum as an excuse to 'punish' the Scots or establish an English-only parliament the UK as a political concept grows ever more tenuous. That's not throwing toys out the pram, that's just the way it is.
This was Scotland's chance to break off with as little pain as it would ever cause, I don't think it will be the same if it happens in 8, 16 or 30 years from now.

He has just got a modicum of integrity, unlike his counterparts in other parties.
As far as I, or anyone else who voted Yes I've spoken to is concerned, if Cameron, Miliband, Brown and Clegg renege on the promises made, they'll kill their own political futures in Scotland, further damage their parties, and give the SNP the mandate to call another referendum much sooner than 20 years.
The next general election Scotland gets the choice of voting for a Labour party that's barely discernible from the Tories as the only alternative to a dangerous rightwing clown like Boris trying to appease UKIP, or, of course, voting for the cadaver of Nick Clegg and the wonderful things he's achieved in power.
I don't see much to be positive about there, and it just underlines how dysfunctional UK politics is. The 'root and branch' reform will fizzle out like the banking reforms, the press reforms or anything else. Even last night as the vote had just been called John Reid is trying to backpedal and say that 'it wasn't a vote for independence, it was a protest vote'. No it fucking wasn't.
The celebrations of Darling are equally rancid-the man's as competent as his management of both the campaign and the economy imply and yet he still tries to type cast the Yes campaigners as violent thugs and the No's as the well behaved quiet people who've done what they're told.
