Fuck- looks like the British and Irish Lions will have to carry the Sweaties again Although in terms of a rebrand, the British Irish and Scottish lions is a bit of a mouthful

How about Irish, British and Scottish Lions? IBS has a certain ring to it.

 

 

Not sure how I feel about the no vote TBH, while I'm glad we've avoided the disruption and unrest that independence may have caused, I was hoping a yes vote would've led to calls for more electoral reform in rUK, including more devolved powers and PR etc.

I hope it still will. But it's up to you now - Scotland can help, but it can't drive it... only England can do that.

Haha, classic!

Let's hope there's no vile comments from either side now - seen too much of that crap already.

as I predicted, it's not close and a double digit percentage margin win, 

You should be a Westminster politician, you're certainly good at self promotion

It also means for the next 4 yrs that phrase that's only ever heard in small corner shops will resonate throughout England... " I think you'll find that's LEGAL TENDER!!"

I read the other day that Scottish currency is not legal tender - even in Scotland. It's just a courtesy thing and it is actually down to a creditor as to whether to accept it or not.

if the gov go back on all that crap they promised, I reckon things will get very bad for the major parties..

it'll be the most blatant bunch of shite since Tony Blair.. but even more obvious [which is hard to believe]

this will simply play straight into the hands of SNP and UKIP.. because they'll have undeniable and simple to understand proof that the big three parties cannot be trusted...
