I'm British not EnglishI would discount the nationalistic nobs here, I am proud of the percentage of residents in Scotland who voted.They were definitely intimidated. But what I meant was the sun has been setting on the empire for years. With Scotland gone they would have lost one third of the UK overnight.Translation please.
I think he is saying that Scots were given threats if they voted Yes.
To me the oddest thing was the clear bias against Scottish folks by both media and the general population outside of Scotland. Media was civilized about its bias but the common people were downright ugly about it even on this forum. This is not the way to appeal towards unity. I think this vitriol turned out to be the biggest impetus for Yes campaign and unless some real soul searching is done, this has a potential of becoming a serious issue in future.
Serious issue in the future
45% has potential to turn into 55% if nothing is done about it.
On a side note, you and Swagger are the only two English I know on this forum who refrained from calling Scottish folks sheep f******. So I commend you two for that.
