Just been speaking to two guys from Glasgow. They definitely don't want independence and don't know anyone who does. The yes campaign is strongly targeting students and teens, how do they know if in

Glad we're keeping this friendly! I was always told not to discuss religion or politics unless I wanted an argument, so I'm abstaining, :)

If you don't think there is something broken with the UK then I don't know where you've been living, but from my perspective it is well past repair. Independence is the only way to, put bluntly, GET

I thought the result isn't announced til the morning, around 7am I think I read?

That is correct. The coverage from 10:40 to 06:00 on STV will give the results for individual constituencies however.

Victory for the no vote! The right result. Scotland get more powers anyway so they still get a good result. Would have been bad news if it was yes.

Exactly in my opinion best of both worlds. No loss for the people and government gets more power

Good result :). I'm glad Scotland is still part of UK, but no doubt there will be lots of unhappy people today.

Well I suppose it means we don't have to create camps for what would be all the newly illegal immigrants :lol:

Naturally there is going to be a bunch of happy people and a bunch of miserable people... Can't avoid that really...

Definitely a good result although I haven't heard what these extra powers are, do the government get to wear capes and underwear outside trousers? :-P

I haven't looked into any of this myself but it would be interesting to see how the vote went according to age, if that's even possible, or at least a survey to see which age groups voted more towards yes or no. Maybe the younger generations wanted independence more (even if for the wrong reasons) so maybe if this happens again in a few years it could be a different outcome.

i much prefer mr wallace's speech too this one ha

"I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen,

here in defiance of tyranny! You have come to fight as free men. And

free man you are! What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?"

"Two thousand against ten?" - the veteran shouted. "No! We will

run - and live!"

"Yes!" Wallace shouted back. "Fight and you may die. Run and you

will live at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now,

would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for

one chance, just one chance, to come back here as young men and tell

our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take

our freedom!"

It's a shame that Braveheart was such a pile of cack.. The 'actual' events were just as impressive (if not more) than the movie, so I don't understand why Hollywood had to bastardise the whole thing...

Aye there's nothing wrong with de speach though

Well I suppose not, it has it's place. There is nothing particularly wrong with the movie either, if it wasn't incorrectly depicting history...but as for the movie itself, it's a good yarn, but for me it's a bit like making a WW2 movie and having robots fighting in it - not exactly necessary or accurate..
