Girl being interviewed on TV "We'll always be part of the UK but if we get independence, well, that would be fantastic".

So which part of the ballot question "Should Scotland be an independent country?" didn't she understand?

Market reaction to Scotland vote: it’s 'up, up and away'

By Ben Wright
19 Sep 2014

The City of London has cheered the No vote in the Scottish referendum. Early analysis this morning is forecasting further gains for sterling and European equities today.

With the huge uncertainty of the vote resolved and the possibility of long-term political wrangles following a Yes vote removed, one analyst said: "It’s up, up and away this morning."

The Scottish vote has dominated the minds of traders in the last few weeks. Sterling, in particular, has swung wildly as fresh polls were released. The pound fell sharply last week after a YouGov poll suggested that the Yes vote had managed to nose ahead in the final days of the campaign.

But the currency has now reversed almost all of those losses and is approaching a high against the dollar for the month and a two-year high against the euro.

Brenda Kelly, chief market strategist at IG Group, said on Friday the No vote meant "a relief rally is in the making in UK markets". She added that the key stocks to watch are RBS and Lloyds banks and some of Scotland's biggest companies such as Standard Life, Aberdeen Asset Management and Weir Group.

"Investors in these firms will be relieved that management will be able to devote their time to business performance, rather than fretting about contract changes or headquarters moves," she said, adding: "Meanwhile, the capital flight from the pound and gilts should see a reversal too, thanks to the decision of Scotland to remain with the 307-year old union."

Bill O’Neill, head of the UK investment office at UBS Wealth Management, said: "Confidence returned to the markets before voting day. There will be a relief rally, but it will be limited because the market has not aggressively accounted for a Yes vote. Gilts will perform modestly better as risk premiums fall."

Alan Clarke, a fixed income strategist at Scotiabank, said he expects the market to bring forward its expectations about the timing of the first Bank of England interest rate hike.

Mr O’Neill said that sterling will benefit in the short term but that the impact on equities, over the medium-term at least, is likely to be limited. The referendum result has unleashed contradictory forces on equities as shares tend to suffer when the pound strengthens. However, the early indications are that there will be relief rally for European markets today.

Equity futures for the FTSE 100,Germany’s Dax and France’s Cac were trading up overnight. This was in part down the the strong of the US overnight. The Dow Jones ended the day up 0.6pc and the S&P500 closed up 0.5pc.

Oh BP is just a conspiracy nutter. Just wait until after the election, then he can bombard the site with posts about rigged votes and Tory conspiracy theories.

After a while you will just get used to not reading his threads, it's the easiest option.

However the Scottish threads do have some relevance, unlike the flying saucer threads.

The YouGov poll suggests that Scotland will remain within the Kingdom.

Riots in Glasgow after Scottish referendum on independence

ONE day after Scotland voted to stay in the United Kingdom, British nationalists have taken to the streets of Glasgow to celebrate their victory.

The gathering began as a show of British national pride, but it quickly developed into what many witnesses are describing as a riot.

Protesters carrying U.K. flags and banners associated with the pro-Union Protestant Orange Order had to be separated from Scottish independence campaigners by Glasgow police.

Glasgow has long been divided by sectarian tensions between Protestant and Catholic groups, with the Protestant Orange Order coming out strongly in favour of voting against independence.

As in Ireland, the Orange Order regularly organises parades and marches as a public show of community pride. An Orange march of around 15,000 people took place in Edinburgh the week before the referendum, with members travelling from around the U.K. to protest against Scottish independence.

At the pro-Union demonstration celebrating their referendum victory, Orange Order members and other Unionists sang the British national anthem and reportedly let off flares in Glasgow’s George Square.

Local religious tensions also tie into Glasgow’s soccer rivalries. Some of the pro-Union demonstrators in George Square carried banners for Rangers Football Club, the team predominantly supported by Protestant fans.

As many frustrated Glaswegians pointed out on social media, sports rivalries have nothing to do with politics — and many Rangers fans actually voted in favour of Scottish independence.

One Vine video from George Square shows a young woman with a Scottish flag being dragged on the ground by a man holding a British Union flag.

Some photos being shared on Twitter also seem to show pro-Union demonstrators performing the Nazi salute.

Several of the George Square demonstrators were members of the far-right Scottish Defence League, which is widely perceived to be a Neo-Nazi organisation. However, many Scots following the protest on social media were quick to point out that this is hardly representative of the average “no” voter.

One eyewitness described police trying to rescue people holding Scottish flags from some of the U.K. nationalists in George Square.

Prior to the referendum on Thursday, many U.K. news outlets expressed concern about the possibility of rioting or violence from those who voted for independence. One source from the anti-independence Better Together campaign even predicted “absolute carnage” on referendum day.

However, it looks like the main source of trouble in Glasgow is coming the opposing side: British nationalists celebrating Scotland’s decision to stay in the Union.

Did Hogue’s Scottish Referendum prediction fail?

In the Scotland Vote:
Old won over Youth
Fear won over Hope
The Habitual won over the Inspirational
But this is only temporary

Fear is a powerful political tool. It usually always trumps hope, because fear sits in our hearts encaged by familiarity. We are conditioned to prefer even a prison cell over freedom because of our greatest blessing/curse being human: our ability to adapt and even accept a limited, oppressive, binding and unchanged reality rather than life unchained. Fear, therefore has an ally in “oldness” of mind and heart. So often, when we become old, we become set in our ways, in our fears. Surrender to the prison life, accepted. Take for instance the Twitter report on the Scottish referendum. A sizable majority voting “no” in Scotland were 55 and older, the pensioners, the people most susceptible to the fear mongering and lying of Westminster fighting for the United Kingdom’s life as the last hang nailed toe hold on fading Empire. They didn’t want the elderly to know that independence would bring more capital to Scotland, more oil revenues, an economic boom at the fading Britain’s expense.

Scotland leaving the United Kingdom would deny London a sizable share of the trillions of dollars worth of North Sea oil for sustaining their faltering Fiat economic state of dis-array and lead to Scotland enrichment. That was a risk the young were ready to embrace but the majority of the old did not. For instance, the Twitterers under the age of 55 tweeted “yes” to independence by three to one. The 45 “Yes”, 55 “No” vote revealed demographically a similar swing of old and fearful “No” to young and hopeful “Yes” votes with the 55-and-over crowd swinging the vote to a five-percent “nada!” victory, against a vast majority of Yes voters who were the younger generations.

The future does not belong to the fearful, and what I said in my previous article last week on the future of the Scottish Referendum has not changed. I began making predictions about it possibly passing nearly two years ago, at a time when the polls in Scotland were three to one against independence. My forecast of a slim “Yes” victory nearly was achieved. Even so, I added the following caveat last week:

It looks like the long shot prophecy has a shot. I do feel that the Scots will go independent whether the “no” vote does squeak by Thursday. I don’t feel that will happen but if it did, it would only delay the breakup of the Union until 2016. The days when there are blue fields in the Union Jack are numbered.

You would do better to put all your efforts into a wa succession thread bp. That's what you really want isn't it?
Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'
