Scottish Independence Referendum 18th September.

[Hvr]

Why would we have to change our flag? I know the Cross of St Andrew is part of the Union Jack and may be removed from the current/future flag of Great Britain but it is part of our history.

 

[Pushka]

It's part of British History and they may possibly be removing it.

As it happens, by pure chance I'll be in Edinburgh on the referendum day. Could be an interesting evening, whichever way it goes!

One more day of Campaigning before Polling Day & the media Blackout commences.

Even here in Australia, I noticed the local media Outlets are now running with the Scottish independence referendum as a major news headline.

If anyone wants to follow the results the UK Sky Coverage is being shown live tomorrow on A-PAC on Foxtel/Austar

Renewed calls for an Australian republic.
As Scotland votes in independence referendum, it’s time to ask: should Australia become a republic?

Phew, for a minute there I thought you were posting that dribble from the "red bandana man" over at Fairfax

Pretty bloody shameful!

Haters will always hate.

No need for the Scots to develop SBC to replace BBC now that the NO vote has won. Now what should be done with all those gold bars that were bought ahead of the vote.
Graffiti is not just an Australian thing and fortunately we have Dulux paint to paint it over quickly.

Unless you have a magic crystal ball, this is just a guess. Different polls point different ways, and until the voting closes in just under 90 mins, and the votes counted, it could go either way. Granted, No is the most likely by far. Already predicted by punters and bookies don't disagree.

Mal, you keep watching and I will sleep on it.

It looks like the NOs will have it. However, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews have voted YES for women members.

Cracking open that bottle very soon I think

What were you doing awake at 3am in the morning, I guess you need your sleep.

 

[cove]

I check stuff at 2am thru 3.30am then go back to sleep. Received a No vote signal which was wrong but I think it should be ok anyway.

Record high voter turnout. Going from the BBC live stream ... it will be an emphatic vote for NO

No threat for the flag then....

You can get 100-1 about YES with the bookies now. Fat lady has finished her tune. Fun while it lasted.
