Granny Danger Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I said it struck a chord - my grandparents generation - both died in the last year - I just found it rather poignant. My gran's brother committed suicide after serving in the WW2 - shell shocked. My Grandfather served during the Western Desert campaign - he missed his own mother's funeral as she died whilst he was in action - I think it's something that affected them both for the rest of their lives. Fair enough, there's lots of voices out there who will resonate with someone on a particular issue. It doesn't mean that their views are more pertinent, or should be more persuasive, than others.

pandarilla Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Fair enough, there's lots of voices out there who will resonate with someone on a particular issue. It doesn't mean that their views are more pertinent, or should be more persuasive, than others. But her view did resonate well. She was very persuasive. Salmond wasn't genuinely suggesting she should've led the campaign. He was (rightly) praising her speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Is no-one going to mention Michelle Gayle's Helen Lovejoy impression? Poor dear was about greeting and trying to get that lad off Dragons Den to tell her his Plan B. Sandie Shaw was entertaining too. Michelle still very much a wid and must be ages with me. Sandie not so much and she seemed a bit agitated - as you would be if Paxo dissed you like that. Sheila was looking good for an 83 year old - but I'll refrain from a wid. That was your sexist forecast for today. Good to know there are mental celebrities too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Sheila Hancock's contribution struck a chord with me: Later in the programme, Alex Salmond said: She'll still be European for f**k sake. Same pish as the indy ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 A lot of people who I know are voting Remain also voted No. That's because they're selfish and without any sense of irony. Racist enablers, at any rate. This new shock jock approach of yours isn't working, Libbers. I realise you're trying to carry the mantle for your chum Anthony C Pick, whose alias seems to have disappeared too, but you're far too much of a sweater wearing, mild mannered meh merchant to behave thusly.

Poet of the Macabre Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 If today's Times/YouGov poll turns out to be accurate, Scottish votes could keep the UK in the EU against England's wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The margins are so ridiculously slim for it to happen but please lord, let it be so. After the contempt with which any talk of Scotland being dragged out by England was treated, just imagine the indignation if we kept the little Englanders in. Definitely a wheel out Salmond moment. There's still a much bigger chance of us having an outcome forced on us* than the opposite happening, so I remain nervous. *no thanks to fuckwits like Granny Danger I must add.

Mr Bairn Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 England makes up 84% of the UK and Wales is 5%, Scotland 8% and TFS 3% So even if England, Wales and TFS are something like 47% remain-45% leave out of their combined 92%, we'd need to go 5% remain and 3% leave to get it really tight, which would mean Scotland going over 60% remain Possible but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yep, I see it's gone from 1/3 last night to 1/9 as I type. There's a probably not insignificant number of people involved in observing, exit polling etc who stand to make some very tidy dough speculating at the bookies and the markets. I suspect we'll know what the result will be before the polls have even closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
