Well, one of David Cameron’s achievements is the opening of a food bank in Feltham here immediately on the south east corner of Heathrow Airport and around 13 miles from the Westminster Parliament. In business because of David Cameron’s changes to the timing of welfare payments and the sanctions where we get into the situation where people are completely destitute and starving and would have no food in their stomachs were it not for the food bank. Scotland should not have the need for these food banks and neither should the rest of the UK. The lack of basic humanity coming from David Cameron’s Government is beyond belief. The acceptance that the State can leave people starving is uncivilised. It is not because of lack of money. David Cameron had the money to burn to turn a United Nations authorised action to prevent massacres in Benghazi into an unlawful regime change operation for Libya with extensive bombing of the country. Libya is now lawless and with no effective central Government, only local militias fighting it out amongst themselves. And he had the money to burn to support groups opposed to the Syrian Government and to encourage civil war there, some of that opposition now having morphed into ISIS. And millions of people in Syria now refugees from the Western encouraged civil war there and thousands at risk of extermination from the ISIS militia. The reason for the need for food banks is not because of lack of money but because of callous political ideology.

This week Scotland has a chance to escape from this wretched culture and to reject the Westminster Government values of attacking its own citizens and to regain basic human decency and dignity.

the last push

Difficult one to call, it will either be extremely close (51 to 49% ish) or a massive majority.
If it is close does that really give a mandate for independance? Maybe a 2/3rds or more, majority would have been better/ fairer??

Cheers and good luck whichever way it goes

Why does Gordon Brown always look and sound as though he is eating whilst talking? Or is he (chewing gum maybe)?

I think I saw a programme which said he had a speech impediment when young. A stutter, and the method of speech he now uses helps to overcome the problem.

This one is a real problem no matter who wins. If just short of 50% reject either argument then it isn't really a ringing endorsement for either side. Canvassers for both sides think it will be a much bigger margin. No canvassers seem to think they'll get around 60%, Yes canvassers are feeling even more optimistic. I've got no idea at all any more.

It's been suggested that acheiving 60% would be a psychological boost to whoever wins as a 60-40 majority is within the realms of a clear lead.

Thankfully, this time, there will be no repeat of the 1979 Devolution referendum when the Yes side won by a narrow margin only to see the result annulled as they didn't reach the "40% of the population" rule. It subsequently turned out in that case that the electoral registers were so hopelessly out of date that folk who were dead for years were still on the register and effectively classed as voting no.

I have always thought he is chewing his tongue, shame he doesn't bite it off altogether, then we would have to listen to him at all.
