Ladbrokes is still making the NO vote odds on.
Polls indicate the same but the margin is narrowing.

SNP was miles ahead in the EU elections, where turnout was low. UKIP got 10 percent but because of the weird d'Hondt formula got I MEP out of the total of 6 for Scotland.

Just back from the pub, and in our highly scientific survey, there was 90% in favor of independence. It has to be said though, that I am currently in North Yorkshire, and the dissenting 10% was the only scot in the group......

Free is always going to be cheaper, I like free.

Remove the shackles, under an independent Scotland Chippy s will be so cheap food banks will be irrelevant.
