Guy outside the polling station today with which side he was voting for all over him, ' can I put you down as a .......'

Me, feel free to put me down for ever you want my vote is in the box and the secret is between it and me

Are you doing a big reveal or is it going to the grave with you?

It will be revealed after the break.

i broke my back then 7 years later my neck think thats enough breaks for one man

nah it will go to the grave with me just like all my secret ballot votes

only vote i have ever told people i voted was at the referendum for devolution

in which i voted no yes

no for scotland having a devolved parliament and yes for scotland having a parliament with tax raising powers
i think i might have been the only person that voted that way as a SNP supporter back then i felt we needed
and independent government not a devolved one

how times have changed through my utter detest of salmonella that even my closet family members have no idea how i voted today
   

If the hottest stripper in the world offered you 10 hours of her time... would you tell her?
He'd tell her for 10 minutes

dont be daft she is one of my best friends (knew her before she started stripping) i dont need to pay for her company

I honestly can't understand how the price is staying firm. I am 50/50 max if not slightly pessimistic.

On the bus, will know in 2 hours if my neighbours have further hell in store

It is indeed a disgusting Tweet. He should be ashamed he made it.

But what law has he broken?

Free speech, no matter how offensive the speech used is, is a cherished right in our country.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Act_2003#Malicious_communications. Whether it qualifies is up to the CPS I guess.
Unfortunately,  reading that I don't think he'll get any comebacks, even though it was vaguely threatening as well as offensive.
I'm all for free speech Camel, but in a world where people can anonymously target people with hate and abuse, surely there must be some controls? Case by case obv.

Anyway, off subject.  Don't leave us Scotland!

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/former-merseyside-council-leader-marie-7795001


A former Merseyside council leader was arrested and charged with assault as she campaigned against Scottish independence at a polling station in Glasgow.

Marie Rimmer, who has been on St Helens council for more than three decades, was held after, the ECHO understands, a woman was kicked at a community centre in the Shettleston area of Glasgow around lunchtime as Scots turned out to cast their vote in the landmark referendum.

She was among droves of Merseyside politicians in Scotland to support the 'No' campaign, urging Scotland not to abandon the union during today’s historic vote.

But it is understood a dispute broke out between the rival camps at the Shettleston Community Centre in Amulree Street in the inner city suburbs of the country’s second city.

Marie Rimmer is due to replace Shaun Woodward as candidate for the St Helens South 
Mrs Rimmer, who was famously deposed by Cllr Barrie Grunewald – himself a Scot – as leader of St Helens council last year, is due to replace Shaun Woodward as candidate for the St Helens South and Whiston parliamentary seat when Mr Woodward steps down at the next general election.

The firebrand St Helens councillor, who Mr Woodward described as “a real fighter” on her nomination to replace him, could not be contacted today.

When the ECHO approached St Helens leader Cllr Grunewald, who is also in Scotland campaigning for the Better Together campaign, he had not heard any news his old former leader had been arrested.

But social media was alive with claims that Mrs Rimmer had had a brush with the law while out on the campaign trail.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “Police Scotland can confirm that a 61-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with an alleged assault on a female in an incident at the Shettleston Community centre in Amulree Street, Glasgow at around 1pm today.

“A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”

This has to be the worse one I have seen yet from either side.

Really really hope I never meet that guy. Don't think I'd be able to stop myself.

Yes, worst I've seen from anyone.

Not me.

The "no" voters are keeping it quiet, I'm confident of a landslide.

I reckon the bigger the turnout the more "no" votes as the "yes" will all vote.

Very large.  Recommend an investment.  Although lads are 6/4 over 85% which gives u 90%+ as well which may actually be a better bet overall.

Hope you're right.....but that's too big I'm on already.

At least if it comes in it will compensate for future holiday money as the pound goes in free fall tomorrow morning  Smiley

Latest voting turnout from 3 of the 4 polling stations in my local area - 95%, 85% & 82%, 4th station is 15 miles away in the highest village in Scotland - very small electorate - although they polled at 99% yes, no-one driving up that mountain pass to check turnout, was over 50% mid afternoon.

General feeling is the missing voters have come from the schemes & the poorer areas - and have been energised by Yes - I'm VERY confident now. Just leaving to get to the count (30 miles away).

surely the turnout can't be higher than 90% over the whole country though ?  I think it's going to be mid/high 80s.
