Ashok Kumar It seems that for you the truth is a euphemism for racism. Your comment, sir. is as bad as your spelling.

3. Britain is a civilised country
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (09.19.14)
Compare the difference between a civilised western country and the backward Arab/Islamic corner of the world. In the west,even an issue as large as a possible establishment of a new state is decided by asking people to peacefully line-up at polling stations so THEY can decide the issue. On the other hand,ISIS lines its opponents up,shoots them in their heads and decides everything themselves. Some Arab Spring!Compared to the west,the Arabs are still in the Ice Age. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
4. Just as cowardly as Quebecers! shame on them!

Yes but Britain is fast being taken over by Moslems and Islamists. I could not beleive my eyes the last time I was in London.
6. Scottish Referendum
Linda Bell ,   Scotland   (09.22.14)
I think by reading your article that you have listened to the BBC. Please don't. The real picture in Scotland is not one of reconciliation but a re-mobilisation of the real Scots to fight back against the rigged voting. The English political parties are all at each others throats and Gordon Brown is loathed in Scotland. We are regrouping and trying to put a stop to the violence being demonstrated by the no voters who have already comitted acts of arson at the Glasgow Herald newspaper offices and rioted in George Square in Galsgow. The UK is not the UK as it is a total shambles. Scottish folk will do everything they can(without violence) to thwart the Westminster government. The referendum was just the first skirmish. ALBA NA BRACHT.
7. Delusional ScotNats
Grendel ,   London   (09.23.14)
Linda Bell, you are a classic example of the delusion 'Yes' voter who sticks their fingers in their ears and sings 'la la la la la' when confronted by harsh reality. The referendum was NOT rigged. All these stupid conspiracy theories peddled by idiots like you are full of enormous plot holes. Why would the British government allow Salmond to sow division and resentment in the Union, wreak havoc on the economy, force the three main party leaders to humiliate themselves with desperate pleas, open lots of awkward questions on constitutional reform...all for the sake of a ballot that was going to be rigged? All they had to do was refuse to hold the referendum. The British government were under no legal obligation to provide it, any more than the USA's constitution allows individual states to hold referendums on seccession. The Yes brigade lost the referendum because they deserved to. They spouted lots of over-optimistic rubbish on high spending with low taxes while refusing to provide answers to simple questions on currency or EU membership. Time to grow up and stop throwing your toys out of the pram. If you want to live in a country where you are GUARANTEED to get the result you want 100% of the time, I suggest you move to North Korea.
