Scottish Bottlers.

Arild Stavrum, ex-Aberdeen footballer, was on Off the Ball on Radio Scotland on Saturday. It's funny how you can watch or hear something non-political, and it tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about being a so called "nation."

Arild told the two supposedly learned hosts about the Norwegian Dissolution Referendum of 1905, when Norway gained independence from Sweden...previously, Norway had been attached to Denmark. Arild joked that it was "like a Saddaam Hussein vote."

85.4% turnout, women did not have the vote, yet Norwegian suffragists collected 244,675 votes for dissolution of the Union.

368,208 - "yes"

184 - "no"

3,519 - spoiled votes.

And that, Scottish bottlers, is a Nation.

Was never  a Majority consensus in Scotland to Separate from the UK.

Nothing to do with bottling it ,the majority wanted NO CHANGE ,  we STOOD STRONG to our convictions .

HTH .


lets see how England goes in the EU referendum

Yeah - I can see you're STAUNCH from here!

I'm guessing you "Don't do walking away..."

I noticed a nice tin of tan shoe polish for a quid in the chemist's today - will I send you a tin for those dignified brogues of staunchness?

tell you what "young Spanish" worry about your own country and leave us to worry about ours .

Spain ....lol

Tell ye whut, mate - send us o'oer a case a'Arbroath smokies and a boattle a'Grouse and we'll send you back Nacho Novo...

Absolutely nothing to do with "bottle", you're showing yourself up with your ignorance.

I'm English born to an English mother and Scottish father and was brought up in Scotland until I was eight.

I consider my nationality as British. I wasn't eligible to vote but would have been a cast iron NO. My own father could have been a foreigner almost overnight with a YES vote majority.

The Scots instigated the Union, we all live on a small island and most of us have bloodlines from both sides of Hadrian's Wall. We don't want our families to be foreigners. We're better together for countless reasons.

Great - I'll gladly take that on-board for "countless reasons"...along with "I wasn't eligible to vote..."

Have a nice day, Nigel.

Nacho lived in Scotland  for 8 years ,long enough to become a UK  Citizen ,dont know if he Voted but if he did i suggest  he   would have said NO .

HTH

English, I muss tell you this : in my countree of Spain the Nacho Novo is like...how you say...? Rubbish sheet or, as we say in Spanish, a SEBO.

Perhaps you have eard of the Iniesta, the Xavi, the dream of Catalonia, no...?

English - are you aware that the ball is ROUND, no?

Why you speak of CYCLE wheels, English...?

Ah, SLANDER -- the rusty badge of the KNAVE.

FINANCIAL DOPING -- gaun yersel' SEVCO...

well that did not take long ,surprise surprise .

NEXT

Well, ffs, you DID tee it up...!

scotland said NO

THE INVENTOR OF THE TELEFONE

THE UNION NEEDS THE SCOTS

Norway I suppose always spoke Norwegian even under swedish rule, the english know a thing or 2 about how to extinguish nationhood, plantation of a bunch of foreigners is a lesson russia learnt, ethnic cleansing, forcing use of english etc. Your english before you know it.

That's a good point, Brendan. The schools and official buildings in Scotland are labelled with Gaelic signs too...to the effect of general merriment by the locals in Glasgow, etc.

Spanish didnae exactly   pop in to visit the Incas for a chat  ....took all their gold and left them the pox ,reminds me of my first wife .

http://www.economicshelp.org/blog/7785/concepts/what-happened-to-the-spanish-gold-from-the-incas/

all that gold and look what good it done them ...  mon the Incas

That's a good point, Breadn. The schools and official buildings in Peru are staffed with Quechua speakers...to the effect of general merriment by the locals in Lima, etc., who tend to dislike a merely spoken language IMPOSED by a moribund empire.

Some of them bottled it.

But most of them are just looking after no.1, as usual.

Over 2m voted to remain loyal to the Union.
Loyal to our brothers and sisters in England, Wales and Ireland.
(When I say Ireland I'm obviously ignoring the foreign south part)

Plenty of West Brits in certain parts of Dublin in particular.

and when I say "most", I mean the older folk, and the women. That's your NO voters.

old folk, women, and people born outside scotland i read were the main No voters

Platini the NO campaign won fair and square.
Get over it and stop looking for excuses.
BETTER TOGETHER

Unionists - the dirty secret of Scotland.

Would rather be controlled by another someone else for no common sense reason. Just some sad living in the dark ages fantasy.


Please leave

Controlled by someone else?

Last Prime Ministers of the UK all Jocks, Cameron Blair and Broon

I think we have very different definitions of "fair and square"

seeing the No voters singing "Let's all laugh at Scotland", waving the Union Jack and burning the Saltire in George Square Glasgow on Friday says it all, all ignored by mainstream media not surprisingly.

@caleyjags
Try this link which tells a different story. It would seem it's not just the media who ignore things.
Cries of "Brits out" and "up the ra" what's that got to do with Scotland.

I think we have very different definitions of "fair and square

So it would appear does Salmond. Changes the rules to allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote for the first time.
I wonder why.

The bottlers will always be known as 'The Treacherous'.

Future generations will deny all knowledge of being related to them. The shame would be too much to cope with.

I'm getting a tattoo saying - I was one of the 2m+ that saved Scotland from Armageddon

The history books will show us as heroes who stood up to verbal abuse and half bricks.
But I want no thanks or medals for my heroics.

I think you'll find the pain too much to handle

And the insults from yes voters continues.

There was no indication that Scotland wanted to leave the Union. There was two years of campaigning from both sides before the referendum and still after all this time the people spoke and wished to remain in the Union as was thought all along. Only a numpty could think that is treachery or bottling. It's called democracy.

How on earth can someone say Scotland should be independent and decide it's own future and then when it decides it's future to remain in the Union piss and moan because it wasn't the decision you wanted?

People are far more likely to look back in the future and see how divisive this whole thing was as the 45% rather than focusing on creating a better future in a devolved Scotland focus their negative energy on insults and boycotts.

I would say the majority of NO voters wished for the status quo to remain for their own self preservation. Nothing else.

It's the people that keep mentioning 'union this, union that' who I would guess had other agendas for it.


Like I said a sad living in the dark ages fantasy outlook on life. All you can show to them is pity. Poor deluded souls

of course Salmond wanted the 16 and 17 year olds involved, they have intellects, so where always more likely to vote YES.

But they are massively outnumbered by the crusties.

Better Together.
Even the bitter losers are welcome.

of course Salmond wanted the 16 and 17 year olds involved, they have intellects, so where always more likely to vote YES

Can't find the 16/17 vote isolated but this would seem to suggest you are wrong.

16-24 was 51%-49% NO
25-39 was 55%-45% YES
40-59 was 53%-47% NO
60-64 was 55%-45% NO
65+….was 66%-34% NO

16-17 was something like 70%-30% YES

Salmond wanted the kids to get the vote because they are reckless and have no life experience. That's why they can't even buy sparklers on bonfire night.

The salmon has sweated his roes, the little fish bids to become the big fish.

Will there be more promises of caviar tomorrow?

why the feck would Scottish people,who, very sensibly, don't want anything to do with those tory swine making decisions over their future, wish to continue with the status quo? perhaps they believe things will get better with a labour gov't back in control, cant believe the sight of brown flailing his arms around like he never ever did when for eg. demanding rights for the ordinary bloke, has produced a yes vote. Vel is correct! Bottlers!

freedom!

The vote was won by the prudent "steady-as-she-goes, don't rock the boat!" naysayers that make up the Scotland as we know today


as this video so elegantly describes....
