Scottish Independence
#47
so so sad, its now all kicking off in Glasgow, my biggest fears reaslised as the vote was so close.
It now looks like a country divided by those that voted no and those for yes, as the no voters stream through the town in a really aggressive and violent way.
Fights / abuse / shouting and screaming that we haven't seen until now and the no vote won, what would they have been like had they lost??
Hoping its a one off, few isolated clashes here n there and not repeated.
Scotland seems to be making this about religion rather than politics.
I'm ashamed.

Bummer.
That's bad news and a somewhat unexpected response (although, to be fair, and in the sanctity of my Southern English thatched cottage, I thought that Glasgow was like that every night anyway).
Unfortunately, in any democracy when there is a straight 2 party vote there is going to be up to 49% of the population who will be pissed off at the result; on the bright side (for the rest of us anyway) only 45% of the Scot are pissed off at the moment so we don't have to get the Italians in to put the wall back up again..
I sincerely hope that this result does not affect the distilleries.

A pivotal point in a 307 year old relationship: maybe a trial seperation? You keep the Whisky but we have custody of Faslane?
I think that the whole situation was summed nicely by Annie's 21 year old co-worker Charlotte: 'If Scotland seperates from England, where are they going to put it?'
I blame the parents.
