Default Never put the ''F'' where the door is

I don't think Mr. Salmond had this in mind for his ‘ad campaign’.......................

Couldn’t make it up could you?

It's fake - and a great example of the London-based/supporting media spinning things their way.

This (alternative) picture is also fake - see here for commentary on the faking of this image:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/...is-fake#8jzd02

What is true, however, is that Ed Miliband, on his visit to Edinburgh's St James shopping, ended up giving his press conference in "Supercuts". Now that's something you can't make up or fake...

What is fake? The image or the actual meaning?
I don't care about the image.

Before this escalates, I meant no harm by posting this picture.
Looks like there is more to it (being fake) that I though originally.
I love Scotland and Scots, all Brits and almost everyone apart ISIS, drug lords, terrorists, cons and pedophiles.
I am absolutely neutral about this vote.
It's Scottish people who have to decide about the future of their country and whats best for them.
Unfortunately, because it is so close right now, the amount of happy people after the vote will be very similar to the unhappy ones.

Couldnt agree with this more -And the photo was funny, real or not

Im genuinely glad I'm not Scottish and dont have a vote to cast. If I were Scottish, maybe I'd be more sure about which way I'd want this to go but from this side of the border the media is painting it very 50/50.

One things for sure, its not a trivial vote, and almost half of Scotland is going to be unhappy with the result. That can't be a good thing....

Just to be clear, it's not Scottish people who get to vote in this referendum, it's people who live in Scotland. So, English people who live here do get to vote (like me) and Scottish people who live elsewhere, don't (like Sean Connery).

That's the main difference between me and Sean Connery!

But you're right, it is a very divisive issue and half of us will be unhappy on Friday morning.

And the photo is funny!

No offence intended here, but after all the anti-British/English vitriol I've seen or read the past few weeks, I truly hope the vote is a YES. I'm sure the grass is greener...
