Too good, Brooker and Coren-Mitchell crush this journalism thing pretty hard

Excellent, so many good lines..

Personally long term I hope Scotland wins the vote and becomes independent because it will make it so much more unlikely that England will ever have to suffer a labour government again as I am a devout Tory.  However I have significant financial interest in this election based on what I consider to be a reasonably well balanced view point and what I hope happens financially in the short term isn't necessarily my views longer term. I think this is why politics betting provides potentially such rich rewards to the unbiased observer as the pie chart produced earlier on TFT shows how emotional most punters are on such matters.

Yet more nonsense.  If England wants a Labour government it will get a Labour Government.  Are you attempting to re-write history?

You are right they will still get one but England will have to want one so much more harder if Scotland are not present in the equation to actually get one and win probably 40 seats more than if Scotland were still in the club. You bite too easily kmac you are worse than my brother when he was seven for winding up.

Surely an independent Scotland that keeps the rUK pound is an oxymoron

I just sniff out bulshit.  I have a very low tolerance level to it.

We have done this one several times already.

What bs are you sniffing? If Scotland leave the uk it's 1000% fact that is way more unlikely everything else being equal that a labour government will be returned. Even someone as deluded and one dimensional as you must realise that. It's a simple numbers game.  If I offered you 2/1 the no vote you wouldn't back it because you are not logical. I get that it's not a problem but please stop making ur self look silly with your comments.

A quite excellent article.  Monibot may have his faults and critics but this is an excellent piece.

I honestly can't be bothered, some people just arent worth the time and effort.

It's not hard to explain what 'white noise' means to a middle england tory boy.  i appreicate its tough when u run into someone who doesn't just stand there and nod his head at you like most of ur door knocking punters in red scotland do.  It's more of a challenge surely though.  99% of your punters are just chicken feed.  Can't be a challenge for u surely?  maybe you don't like the challenge just the open goals to tap in living and campaigning in red labour scotland gives u!
