UK's Cameron Warns Scots "No Way Back" As Independence Vote Remains Too Close To Call

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With polls and surveys showing a slight bias to a "No" vote for Scottish Independence - but realistically too close to call - it appears UK Prime Minister Cameron has once again flip-flopped his strategy to deal with the northern menace. Initially it was one of scaremongery, warning of Scottish safety in light of global terrorism; then Cameron softened his stance proclaiming how "heartbroken" he will be if "our family was ripped apart." Now, just a day later, according to The Sunday Times, Cameron will unveil his latest push tomorrow that "there will be no way back" if they vote for independence, warning that a split from the U.K. will see the two countries go their separate ways forever, with the vote result a "once-and-for-all decision." Media bias is increasingly evident as the establishment unleashes its last minute full court press promising Scots "can have the best of both worlds." if they back the union...

With polls too close to call (though obviously plenty to chery pick for both sides). Excluding don’t knows, the Yes shares in the 8 different companies/methods are:

  • ICM (online) 54%
  • Panelbase (online) 49%
  • ICM (phone) 49%
  • TNS (face to face) 49%
  • YouGov (online) 48%
  • Opinium (online) 47%
  • Survation (online) 47%
  • Survation (phone) 46%

Source: UKPollingReport

As The Sunday Times reports,

In a speech in Scotland tonight Mr Cameron will warn voters that there will be “no way back” if they vote to leave Britain.

 

Going on the attack, he will abandon his “love-bombing” strategy of the past week and will warn: “If Scotland votes ‘yes’, the UK will split and we will go our separate ways for ever.”

 

On a trip to Aberdeen — his 10th and last visit to Scotland during the campaign — he will say: “We must be very clear that there’s no going back from this. No rerun. This is a once-and-for-all decision.”

 

...

 

In the event of a “no” vote, Mr Cameron has promised Scotland complete control of income tax in a new “devo max” deal.

 

...

 

Mr Cameron’s speech in Aberdeen is designed to target those in the northeast of Scotland who once voted Tory and then turned to the SNP but who are now wavering over independence.

 

A senior Downing Street source said: “There are rock-solid people on both sides who a ­nuclear bomb would not shift. The people who are undecided seem to think that maybe they could go back. The message will be this is a complete divorce. There will be no rerun. When it’s over, it’s over.”

But media bias continues to rise...

The English can store their money in Scottish Bank accounts at a premium.

Scotland can export their oil to England at a better rate then Saudia Arabia.

The English need Scotland to be independant they just dont know it yet.

Lol
I was just going to type that when I read your post, the ol English Colonialist still stirs below, in all of the English elite and Royals!!

First they say no, then they "warn you politely", then they show their soft side and for just a moment, "beg you", then when it's obvious your on to their charade, the real shit comes out, the "violent threats start"!

Always the same, it could be 1770 in Scotland for how little they have learned!!

I hope the Scots do it!! Unshackled yourself from the mountains of British debt, that's what all the fear is about anyway, the English could give two shits about the Scots, if it weren't for the fact, London will be left holding the fucking USD denominated debt bag!! And once THIS example and realization hits the rest of the EU and the US too frankly, "independence" will take on a whole new meaning!!

If you like your Debt Englishman, you can fucking keep it:)

And ties into who is doing the pols.  The pols showed a steady move towards pro independence, then suddenly they changed direction and the slope of the graph changed.  I would submit that the pols were/are now manipulated to make it appear closer than it is.  This provides cover for the fixing of the votes when they are counted.  It is harder to hid the fix when the proindependence side has a 20% lead for example.

The computers used within the voting process, either at the voting machine or the computer the voting machines tie too not only have backdoors built in but have special backdoors and software hidden in them.

Notice the UK politicians are saying this is a one time event.  They do not want to have to fix the vote again as the opposition might catch on.

Many countries have come out of the clutches of the British monarchy over the last half a century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_that_have_gained_independ...

Even though Canada and Australia continue to keep the Queen as their head of state while the British monarchy enjoys grand vacations every year on the tax payer expense in all their past colonies.

This brilliant article below from Australia sums it very well. I wonder which country would like to be like Scotland who remits their oil and tax revenues to UK and then relies on state subsidies from the UK back to them. 

After the Stone of Scone was brought back home, it is time to bring independence to the sovereign nation of Scotland and let them decide their own fate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_of_Scone

It is interesting that in 1947, the British Civil Service determined that Scotland, if free, would have been 'as rich as Switzerland'.

A Brilliant article which sums up the problem very well. A Must Read for anyone who is still contemplating a 'No' vote to the referendum.

Scotland must brave independence

I don't see why it is "forever", a one-way ticket,  if they go down the drain they will be begging to come back on the same advantageous arrangements.

They joined, if they split why can't they join again later if both sides are in agreement?

European countries have been at war with each other many times in the past but are now all buddies in the EU.

If Scotland leaves the Union then even if they later want to rejoin they will be unlikely to get offered the same cushy deal they have now. A reunion would require the English (and Welsh) voters to also vote Yes to reunion and they will vote No unless there is a strong benefit to them (fat chance).

Once Scotland leaves then the British Labor Party is toast.The Tories will then have a stronger majority and will not want to go back. Will UKIP want to have a reunion? Maybe the Liberals will?

Scottish independence will weaken Britain and possibly push them closer to the EU.  It will certainly put them in a weaker position to resist further EU integration.  Be careful what you wish for, this looks a lot like a divide and conquer game.

@agent default,

Absolute bollocks.

Scottish independence will rid the Westminster Parliament of the Scottish contingent of seriously leftwing "the world owes us a living" socialist deadbeats.

Thus tilting the balance of power, and for a very long time, against the socialists in opposition, who have been aided and abetted, when it suits, by the lying, cheating, back stabbing Liberals.

Cameron won't need the support of the Liberals any more (not that they can be relied on anyway), he will have an adequate majority once the dispropportionate number Scottish MP's are gone

Cameron then MUST call a snap election, this will decimate the Liberals from the commons, put socialism on the back burner, and then he can resign.

With a bit of luck we'll get a true Conservative leader who will cancel Cameron's promise of a referendum and just tell the Socialist/ ex Commie apparatchik's in Europe to FUCK OFF, WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

Jibber jabbering on about another fucking parasite this cuntry has to feed at our bastard cost to the tune of millions, just because the imperial dole scoungers themselves are popping the in-bred cunt out eh?

Let me give you some advice Cameron, come and have a do up in Newcastle-upon-Tyne as soon as you like you cunt, bring Clegg, and that fucking human mistake Miliband while you are on.  I'll arrange a welcoming commitee for you, and fuck the security detail, they can have the cunt just as much as you, you in-bred cunt.

And to my Scotish friends.  Vote for independence, get this filthy, dirty, child molesting ridden monkey off your backs, this cuntry stands for nothing, and believes in less, it is a cess-pool of filth and degredation.  Set yourselfs free of this shit house and give the rest of the people who live on these isles the shock they need to see problems we face.

Wouldn't know, personally. I'm busy on the ranch. Lots to do before winter sets in and I prefer to invest in eatables rather than shiny objects.

But in a more general sense. every day a lot of people here ( I refuse to call them "folks") turn on the news and say "not today" while you presumably say "Yeah, baby, right on". One day in the not-too-distant future, you will be saying "noooo, not today" and they will be saying "yeah, baby, right on, about damn time".

Even you cannot possibly be so dense as to play the market without a rigorous set of stop-losses programmed in to guard against the inevitable burp. What this says is that you do not trust the market either but hope to be the next-to-last sucker in line.

I checked out of the great game long ago and am quite content to miss a weekday dose of CNBC. So I have no fear of miscounting my place in the queue of people wearing "kick me" signs.

What distresses me is the emphasis upon whether or not such a move is in the financial interest of Scotland. Indepedence should not rest upon the crass belief that it is a money-making venture or not. People who are willing to remain subject provided it is personally profitable and independent only if it will improve the bottom line are not in fact truly independent at all-- but merely for sale to the highest bidder.

 

Nor should anyone be distracted by the once-honorable term of independence as it is currently being used. Independence in the case of deeply socialist Scotland merely means having more money to squander on utopian schemes than is currently on offer from the British Exchequer.

Well said.
As I see it, the Scottish referendum is as much about restoring the post-War welfare state than anything else. Thatcher remains extremely unpopular in Scotland, and much of the SNP platform relates to a renewed welfare state.

no reason except for the fact that after separation, Scotland will be full on socialist and England will be full on conservative. and England will never hook its wagon to that socialist horse again which means the Scots will have to really bend over and take it in the butt worse than when Thatcherism ended a good part of their public dole and that flies in the face of their mel gibon FREEDOM schtick so once the two part they will never merge again,

Walking through Glasgow you would be puzzled by the alleged support for the Nos. in Edinburgh maybe more pro-union but the overwhelming number of badges,stickers, flags and face painting Ive seen walking round this town is for a YES vote.

I think this is very strange as if you did believe the alarmist bullshit coming from NO camp then you would be fearing mass poverty starvation civil war etc and would that not motivate you to put a wee NO sign in your window?? Its clear these polls are not reflecting the mood on the ground?

If there is a Glasgow demographic likely to vote no and uptil now hiding its the poor working class labour supporters fall through online and phone polling. I suspect the SNP have knocked on enough doors and spoken to enough disillusioned Labour supporters to get a feel how this is going to go. 

The No vote is bereft of grass roots support so they have relied on polls up til now that was why they were startled last week.

Ive talked to about 100 people and only 2 have said no. I reckon its gonna be a landslide Yes vote and the big story after will be how the polling got it so wrong. 

I beleive the NO camp now realise that this is going to go badly for them. Alistari Darling on the tv this morning looked to be a man under a great deal of pressure.  Salmond is cool as a cucumber.

Good job the punter that put the £50k bet on a No vote was using someone elses money!!!

Really sad because I am afraid the evil scum will steal the vote as usual.  Sad to see decent people from all over - USA, Canada, Europe, UK, Scotland, Ireland, eastern Europe, etc etc being screwed over by the same NWO banskters scum.

I would bet Yes is really up 10 to 15% but they will lie about the polls and try to steal it.  I think elections in Europe are less rigged than the USA so maybe there is hope.

I love this guy in Glasgow berating the 200 Labour Party members who took the train in a panic from London.  A real Scot who is not afraid to get in these nicely tailored facists faces.  LOL!

Acts of Stupidity

The critters were told fifty years ago not to embed Family Law into their technology, and twenty years ago how to dismantle it. And nothing has changed, but incremental mitigation of derivative outcomes. On the assumption of European war, Putin took preemptive action, and on the assumption of world war, Obama is now taking preemptive action, because they are leading the parade of feudalism, feeling that they have no choice, if they want to maintain their own positions, and the positions of their networks. The choice for Scotland, and similarly positioned people, is whether they have sufficient natural resources to provide for their own.

Civil Law simply diverts natural resources into a capital stock duration mismatch to its own end, and seeks labor on the margin to feed it, running the economic circuit backwards, so all roads lead to Rome, the global cities gutting natural resources in wider circles and trading among themselves accordingly. Communities trading natural resources for social welfare, tourism grants and real estate inflation, all falling in the hands of civil marriage to make the dc circuit, is the problemsolution, demographic boom and bust.

You might want to set your distance, before being subjected to fascism. International trade, as it is currently structured under feudalism, does no effective work net. Whether labor feeds capital stock from natural resources, or backwards, at the margin, is a decision about how much gravity you want and the timing of its release. Natural resources are themselves a function of labor, largely by non-humans, which the political critters conveniently ignore in the pursuit of human social justice, and lament only when the natural resources are gone and the so-constructed middle class collapses, from the bottom up, leaving the upper middle class increasingly exposed, suspending civil rights to fight the terrorist bogeyman, its own creation.

The critters cannot listen, because they are penalized for listening throughout their public education training, and rewarded for compliance, with say-one-thing-and-do-another normalization. Whether you prefer to think so or not, civil law is a machine running on automatic, with behavior creating the law, to re-enforce the behavior, with sidewalk surveys employed for the purpose. The problem is not the thought leaders, employed as revolving scapegoats by the busting majority; they are just derivatives of derivatives.

The other day, a corporate exec from the trash heap knocked on my door, explaining to my wife, crocodile tears and all, why she was about to take action, but the cops were sufficiently intelligent, after their police chief was fired while on leave, in a town of empty units, in counties of empty units leading all the way back to San Francisco, not to knock. Either way, who do you suppose has the problem?

The State majority knows where I am every moment of every day, because it put me here, ‘thinking’ that I would be a convenient scapegoat outlet of last resort, at the churn. Funny, at the churn, where labor decides whether to feed capital stock or the return to natural resources, is exactly where you want to be, if you are a developer. Not so ironically, I completed my work here decades ago, before the current occupiers came, to liquidate it for the empire. I dealt with Brown’s father, when Jerry was a puppy, thinking about pot as money.

Empire currency is simple. It pays you to go the wrong way, toward Rome, burning natural resources along the way, setting up extortion toll booths, and debasing its own money in the process. The drought, the banking problems, and war are not Acts of God. They are acts of stupidity.

Labor is, the one and only exit.

I have a bad feeling about this. I think that the zillionaire oligarchs are not happy with a yes vote. England is scared shitless of Scotland gaining independence from them. First the threat of terrorism against the Scots, then the financial threats and now they are saying if you leave you can't come back. I smell desperation and fear from England. This might be a catalyst for game changing all over Europe. Barcelona protesting, Basques as well. Everything is Balkanizing into tribal regions and ethnic boundaries. The egg heads that run the EU aren't getting much sleep lately as everything is falling apart. As the Euro falls our idiots can use that excuse to go ahead and execute the Dollar collapse plan. The rest of America will be watching football and Survivor shit and be fat, dumb and happy. Then when reality slaps them in the face as the gov teat is shut iff the FSA will raise up and burn down everything in thier path. All those MRAPs the local cops have need to get used.

consider an independent scotland in context of a 1000-year event with bardarbunga volcano in iceland.

The warning was made by a group of academics and scientists from the British Geological Survey and the Met Office, which also involved geologists from Edinburgh University.

They argue that certain types of eruptions of Icelandic volcanoes, known as effusive gas-rich eruptions, should be considered an immediate risk to human health and the environment for much of northern Europe.

They can erupt for months and cause geological devastation across thousands of miles.

The Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which erupted in 2010, is thought to be a more 'explosive' type as it propels ash in to the atmosphere over a shorter period of time.

While air traffic was grounded as a result, the Cabinet Office report argues the event was relatively small event, given the potentially-lethal power Icelandic volcanoes possess.

Their research touches on the catastrophic Laki eruption in 1783 which is thought to have led to the death of tens of thousands of people in Britain.

If another such eruption takes place, then Britain and other countries could be hit by a blanket of ash and toxic materials, along with several years of extreme weather.
