Salmond and Sturgeon Want the English Fish for More Fat Subsidies

Who said there was a 10,000 post limit? I blame Westminster.

No need for a new thread.

I prefer the new thread. No boggly eyes staring at me at the top of each page.

Mmmm. I think the Clapton reference broke the forum.

See Salmond quietly crept away on Wednesday..............

WTH?? A thread with more than 10,000 posts. The entire fundament with which I have lived my life over the last 7 years has been torn asunder.

In that case I take that back about Clapton. I can't make that kind of decision based on a paltry 10,000.

Well this is a suitable way to leave this topic.

After 10,000+ posts of arguing about it in this thread, support for Indy has gone backwards, and is now at the lowest level since the referendum.

The latest Scottish Social Attitudes survey shows that just 42 per cent of people want the country to leave the UK, compared with 58 per cent who want to stay.

When "don't know" and "refused" responses are included, the poll shows 39 per cent back independence.

It is the greatest support for the Union seen since before the referendum - and comes as a huge blow to the SNP leadership.

The Scottish Social Attitudes (SSA) survey, published on Thursday, is based on face-to-face interviews. It is funded by the Scottish Government and states that it provides a "reliable and robust picture of changing public attitudes over time".

In the most accurate poll we have (funded by the Scottish Govt no less), support for Indy has fallen significantly since the referendum, which does rather expose the lie many Indy supporters keep telling themselves that significant numbers of No voters regret voting No.

Rather, the opposite appears to be true, with significant numbers of Yes voters changing their minds.

That 39% isn't far off the 37.8% of the total Scottish electorate that actually voted Yes.

I agree, and if none of you post on the new one she'll have to come back here.
