They made the best decision for themselves. Had they voted for separation, their leftist governments would have left them absolutely impoverished.

It was not an Independence movement really. If they have separated from Britain they would’ve ended up part of the euro zone which would’ve been far worse. They yes people behind us were socialists and resented the welfare state being cut back.

The right decision. A very clear decision. The Scots were always going to be too canny to fall for the boisterous, misleading, poisonous campaign run by Alex Salmond.

Scotland is not going to recede into the darkness of a suffocating socialist banana republic, after all.

The Silent Majority have spoken.

Wow, that’s some turnout.

In Crimea only 30% turned out to the polls.

Can’t imagine why...

Armed Russian soldiers “guarding” the polling places looking to arrest pro-Ukraine activists for a Siberian “vacation” might have impacted that
