Channel 4's dispatches did an interesting documentary exploring both campaigns in the Scottish referendum.. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/d...es/4od#3725480

It would be democracy in action - just as would the other possible result.

More nonsense from the guess camp. This is one of their latest posters.

Strangely enough they voted against a labour proposal earlier this year to increase the minimum wage and already have the powers to increase it. If you were a cynic you might think they will promise anything and everything regardless of whether or not they ever will or ever intend to implement it.

Did they really vote against it? That should be used more as ammunition from the No camp.

Incidentally a Panelbase poll over the weekend showed a 4 swing to No. It's Panelbase so it's not that great but considering it's the highest pollster for Yes it's something...

It's the last, desperate throw of the dice.

The resemblance some of these Yesser posters have to the sort of stuff pumped out by Communist regimes is a bit worrying.

Taking a leaf out of Bliar's book I reckon. How long before they come up with the Proclaimers doing a nice tartan regailed version of "Things Can Only Get Better"? It'll be just as believable as Bliar's lies, spin and BS...

Alarmingly there seems to be a helluva lot of Yes posters springing up in people's windows in their homes where i live lately.

They're probably English Tory voters. :D

The Yes campaign has always been very noisy. You could always put up a "No Thanks" poster. ;)

A YES campaign shop opened up in my town centre a few weeks ago with posters in the window and Scottish flags outside. The pub directly across the road from the YES shop has filled its windows with NO Thanks posters and Union Jacks. Next time I'm passing I'll take a few snaps. It's pretty funny.
