Wonder what the result would have been if all of UK had a vote?

Salmond's face - what a picture!Brilliant.He won't move on though.He'll be back, and he'll keep asking the question until he gets the answer he wants.Just like the politicians in Eire did...despicable.

An excellent example of democracy at work. The result offers a good opportunity for Great Britain to forge ahead with voting reforms for all four nations now. Britain has been watched very carefully by the rest of the world.

TV - the nice people at Marconi as the Baird mechanical system was unworkable!Anyway, the voted NO so shut up Salmond and let's move on.

Fred Hunt ● 4212d

Ditto.

And your point is Gerry?They would have invented/discovered these items whether or not they were part of the UK.I would never be so disingenuous to say that I "Couldn't give a twopenny damn" about the Scots. It is the result about which I do not care. The rest of the UK will get 'shafted' no matter what happens.

"...Couldn't give a 'twopenny damn' about the result to be honest..."How could one ignore the Scots? Didn't they invent penicillan, logarithms, television, the steam engine, road surfaces, insulin, radar, the deep-fried battered Mars Bar!  And didn't they write the world's most popular song(leaving out White Christmas) and give the world that jolly Jewish poet Rabbi Burns?  How could you not give a "tuppenny damn" for them Nigel lad? Och, awa wi ye! Ha ha ha.

Yes we will be affected; but that was going to happen irrespective of the way that the people of Scotland vote.It is simply a matter of degree.Hence why I don't care at all.

Nigel Brooks ● 4213d

Whether they purport to care or not, people living in England and Wales who believe they will be unaffected by the outcome of today's vote are being naive in the extreme.

Vote once, else it's illegal!Couldn't give a 'twopenny damn' about the result to be honest.
