I went out for a walk this afternoon, as if my wont, partly to check out the new camera on the new mobile. It seems to work.
Over the last week or so, I've begun to think that the YES vote is going to win the Independence Referendum. The coverage in the Sunday Times looked rather panicy today. The bookie's have a No vote at about 1 to 5, and the YES vote at 10 to 3, so according to the bookies the YES camp have no chance. The SNP, of course, had no chance of forming a majority in the Scottish elections they had a landslide at, so what do the bookie's know? Once UKIP trounce everyone in England in the European elections next May ...
I should imagine after the introduction of higher taxes on the evil bourgois - hopefully, both income tax and inheritance taxes- Norman Tebbit's famous loyalty test will apply in reverse. If you are Scottish and support the English creekit team. you'll probably be asked to leave the country once we've taken most of your money back from the folk you stole it from.
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven!
Well, I can't do anything about the second part, but the first part is certainly motoring along these days!
I say!
ReplyDeleteThe bookies have got it correct. They are rarely wrong. No-one wants mobile roaming charges and border controls, but an important thing is that, today, we need large political units to withstand the multinationals, some of which have larger incomes than small countries. Of course, if the objective is to become a Third World country...

Nobody wants governed by people they didn't vote for. Nobody wants their kids getting killed in stupid wars. Nobody wants bedroom taxes on the poor. And large political units seem to be hand in glove with the multinationals! NO might win this time, but it'll take just one more Tory government and the jig's up!
ReplyDeleteI say!
ReplyDeleteI know that some folk like to concentrate on doom and gloom, but I hear that in Dear Old Blighty the Pound is up, the economy is growing faster than just about anywhere else in the West, and unemployment is down.
Folk who don't want to be governed by people they didn't vote for should not vote! If no-one voted, then there would be change.

A vote YES will change everything!
ReplyDeleteI say!
ReplyDeleteOnly for the worse! In today's global, connected, multi-national world, runt-sized countries have little place.

I assume you'll stick to your principles and not vote anyway!
ReplyDeleteWhy not have a referendum every day until you get the result you're after?

ReplyDeleteAfter independence, it'll be only fair to hold regular referenda on whether to rejoin the UK. It all balances up.
ReplyDeleteThe evil bourgeois aren't supposed to enjoy revolutions. I think that everything is going to get a bit tetchy with the evil bourgeois as we come closer to the guillotine. Mac
