I heard, it was reported on the news.

Scotland voted no and Alex Samond was voted out so Scotland has spoken.

oldmeg sounds pretty simple to me, much like the Brexit vote. You might not like it but the majority, whichever way you voted, made the decision.

Scots voted NO to separatism in the " once in a lifetime " vote less than four years ago and the only change since then is that the SNP has become more unpopular.

They did vote No!

SUS it’s not as simple as that.

Wasn’t there a vote on Independence some time ago?

Didn’t the Scottish people vote No?

No, I didn’t see that paddyann. Thank you for flagging it up. I worked in Glasgow for many years. Lovely city.

It's on the BBC. Is that not main stream? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-44005360

I'm not surprised,the MSM rarely shows whats really happening on our streets ..especially Scottish streets .Yesterday there was a March for Independence ..ALL UNDER ONE BANNER .Through Glasgow streets .estimates range from 60,000 to the police estimate of 91,000,Of course IF you only watch TV news or read the mainstream news you wont have seen it .So when Ruth says theres no interest in Indy anymore keep THIS in mind .This march was peaceful ..no trouble at all according to the police..the unionists who tried to cause trouble ..all 12 of them with their union flags and nazi salutes were ignored by the marchers and surrounded by police.There are 4 more marches scheduled throughout Scotland in the next few weeks .I dare say you wont hear anything about them either .
