    The inbred and traditional hatred of the English is behind this and will cloud the judgement of more realistic Scots who may well help the vote over the line, let's hope so.

    But anybody with an ounce of sense knows that thousands and thousands of public sector workers commute into London daily some from well over 100 miles out. You not knowing any is pretty irrelevant.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    There is no evidence that anyone has changed their mind in any meaningful numbers despite what the BBC and the Guardian might say. I think there was a poll on here a few days ago saying things haven't changed, I certainly haven't seen any polls saying people have changed their mind. Doesn't...

    I presume you're being sarcastic, if not you're wrong if you really think thugs spend any time whatsoever in jail having remorse.
