Our leaders have hoisted the Saltire above parliament and are now rushing here to jock-land, holding hands, to fix things. Suddenly they want to love-bomb us. Funny, I hadn't noticed that they cared much about our problems before.
I'm slightly unclear about what they think that they can do here that they can't do at home; given that the media hang on their every words. [The three stooges I mean]. Still never underestimate a person's feeling of their own importance and a monopoly of the media.
I suspect that we are about to be subjected to an abundance of soviet-esque NO rallies on our screens. Possibly with many celebrities on show. There will be martial music and a voice-over that suggests that the silent-country has been attacked by these deranged yessers
What has led them to this sorry pass? Basically they ignored something: they are all nice upper-middle-class English men. They don't have much connection with the majority of people in England, even. In Scotland, outside of the circles the mix in, they are pure poison. And the circles that they mix in are small to nil.
Let's not forget that this stramash is a stoochie of their own making. They decided on a two question referendum, if they'd allowed a question about devo-max, they wouldn't be on a plane north convening with their advisers about how best to bribe us. They could be settled in London knowing that they could fuck the Scots somehow. If they really wanted us to have more powers why didn't they use, someone else's referendum to give us them?
I'm going to make a prediction. One that you may not be able to judge, if you aren't here. Pretty soon the yes crowd are going to be smeared by accusations of violence and intimidation. Gangs of us will be roaming the streets beating up every no voter that we can find.
May I stress that not one person here, on ether side, is going to get violent. So why is this question in the air?
People who lose arguments tend to do get violent, much better in that case to suggest that it was the other person's fault.

I think our beloved leaders will be shepherded to various conference halls of invited audiences which will be lovingly filmed by the media's vaseline-smeared cameras (we had a taster with Gordon Brown yesterday as the great statesman, above petty politics, fighting bravely to save the country he loves...). And the enlightening TV images will be fed to us benighted souls, to believe the applause, believe the crowds, believe the lies. And we'll see that they're not even aware of their own dreadful cynical attitude toward the people they represent; and we'll all go off and vote yes!
