David Cameron has just delivered one of the best speeches maui sunset dinner cruise preview of his career in Aberdeen. It was emotional, sincere, clear. The Prime Minister pleaded with Scots to stay in the United Kingdom. It ranged from warnings that this would be a permanent separation when people vote on Thursday they are not just voting for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren and the generations beyond - to powerful images of something the peoples of the Union have built being torn apart:
For the people of Scotland to walk away now would be like painstakingly building maui sunset dinner cruise preview a home – and then walking out the door and throwing away the keys. So I would say to everyone voting on Thursday, please remember. This isn’t just any old country. This is the United Kingdom. This is our country.
It was very, very good. But whether or not it will shift any votes in Scotland, maui sunset dinner cruise preview the PM s words could certainly shift things south of the border. He also let slip a key line that shows No is now only the lesser of two evils in the eyes of many of his own MPs. He said: But you can get real, concrete change on Thursday: if you vote No . Business as usual is not on the ballot paper. maui sunset dinner cruise preview The status quo is gone. This campaign has swept it away. That s an acknowledgement that the changes promised to Scots if they do vote to stay are not minor ones. And there is a groundswell of irritation in Westminster that this has been decided without any proper debate or scrutiny.
Humbug. Vote no to save my job, more like. His panic doesn t exactly fill one with confidence, particularly as this one could be seen coming years ago. More likely political self-confidence means never realising how much people hate you. And the last-minute bargaining : PATHETIC.
2. to speak of the soul you would have to know the soul purposes and stuff, and thats to ensure we all look after each other, your killing maui sunset dinner cruise preview us with your nuclear weapons of mass destruction and privatised NHS.
Bags under his eyes, Cameron is beginning to look old. May be reality has just impinged on his gilded existence, and he hasn t only seen his political career end in a monumental failure, but that his whole political career was one of an unmitigated disaster. It began with failure, it failed to achieve anything, maui sunset dinner cruise preview and it looks like it is ending in failure.
Good logical presentation. BUT, how can the PM claim that the rest of the UK ex Scotland want the Union to continue? I have 100% Scots Heritage and to be frank, the best news would be for Scotland to become Independent. The Scots in Scotland are in the majority a bunch of whining, self absorbed, groaning dreamers. For years, Scots in Scotland have enjoyed benefits in excess of the English and Welsh. They have sway in Westminster but have independence of thoughts and action in Scotland. Balanced? I think not. Let them go. They destroyed the world s largest shipbuilding industry, eradicated almost all manufacturing in Scotland, exported a bunch of Trade Unionists who were bent on nothing more than destruction and have maintained the Labour Party in power in Westminster through gross over-representation per capita for all but probably 1 parliament. Go forth and multiply, or not. Go whinge and keep it north of the border!!
The desperation comes from him having made an utter pigs ear of this whole business and allowed Salmond to set the terms, make the running and dominate the proceedings, whilst Cameron leaves it to poor old Darling to carry the can.
Make no mistake this is on a knife edge. We re also one the verge of in effect, another war in the Middle East with these ISIS lunatics. If the votes goes Yes come Friday morning, Cameron s position is instantly untenable.
maui sunset dinner cruise preview And what have they organised for the next few weeks? Their party conferences. Its unbelievable. The country fracturing, they have made no plans what so ever, while Salmond has already got the names for his negotiating team (selecting constitutional lawyers and economists from near and far) and they have Parliament closed down for their tribal gatherings.
I switched off a a third of the way through having picked a hole in virtually everything he said so far. Sorry Isabel, it was pure propaganda for values that aren t mine I couldn maui sunset dinner cruise preview t bear to hear it again from yet another self-serving politician.
Nigel Farage predicted it all along. This is it. The day of reckoning has finally come, David Cameron s speech is forgotten already. He addressed maui sunset dinner cruise preview no one. It will certainly not save him. This will mark the end of the LibLabCon and the Westminster elite.
You can t teach someone to care more be passionate. You can teach someone to act as if they care are passionate. It s all spin: there s defensive, say as little that is meaningful as possible spin there s let s appear passionate caring spin.
The assumption is that everyone is comfortable exuding passion in public. That s patently false in many Brits. Stiff upper lips, understated restraint are British traits, not I have a dream speeches. Welsh firebrands like Kinnock of Nye Bevan (who had to torture audiences for years before he became the best orator of his generation).
Of course there will be more devolution. It ought to be clear to even the daftest man that things are going to change regardless of the result. Perhaps you need to be in England to know that, but from my perspective, yes, change is on its way.
I think it will be very close there are only 5% in some polls who are undecided and will vote. A number who are not yet convinced will abatain or spoil papers. My bet is on no maybe £5 but def not £10
I don t trust the polls where I live is traditionally unionist and NOT representative of Scotland as a whole. I know very few people who are voting yes out of any form of affection, some who say they are British and resent having to choose identities. The most common reason is not wanting to condemn English maui sunset dinner cruise preview people to one party Government. Unlike what I have seen in a lot of polls, education seems to me to be a predicator of voting intentions: the more degrees maui sunset dinner cruise preview the more likely to vote yes .
Polling in the housing estates of Glasgow/ Edinburgh/ Aberdeen and Dundee where voter turn out is normally low and the minority who vote are solidly Labour seems to be 3:1 in favour of independence and that may carry the vote. Those people are less likely maui sunset dinner cruise preview to be in the city centre, have landlines or access to broadband and so are less likely to come up in opinion polls. Last month, theRadical Independence Campaign (yes don t shout at me) found overall 2:1:1 yes, no, don t know in its returns of 18,000 people.
Hi Tim, I also received the same email and it came with a link to sign up to Connect2015, a Tory phone canvassing system that now has given me access to private names, addresses and phone numbers and a script to go through maui sunset dinner cruise preview when calling them. Although it states:
However, contacting an individual by telephone to promote the aims and ideals of a political party in order to gain support maui sunset dinner cruise preview for a party or candidate, or otherwise influence an individual is “direct marketing” and this is regulated maui sunset dinner cruise preview by law. and refers to itself as a survey it s quite clear what the intention maui sunset dinner cruise preview is. There is also very clear instruction, Don’t ask permission to ask questions – after introducing yourself launch maui sunset dinner cruise preview straight in to the first question. Get people thinking about the answer to the first question, not whether they want to answer questions.
Exactly. I can t honestly remember how I ended up on Cameron s email system but however it was, it was signed up to in a sarcastic, ironic fashion. I also thought that it would be useful to have a spy in the enemies camp as it were.
He should have said this a month ago, at least, maui sunset dinner cruise preview and left out the bits about the United Kingdom being no more, the security of the UK, etc.. They don t care about the former, maui sunset dinner cruise preview and consider the latter to be an insult. We know by now that Cameron and his advisors don t learn anything, and this is the second piece of evidence in two days that he should step down immediately, regardless of the outcome.
Actually, my comment was a suggestion of something that would have been better. Read it again. Then explain why you re allowed to make a sneering judgment without backing it up with something maui sunset dinner cruise preview better whilst telling someone else they are not.
Strange, I was given to understand that there were only three Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish. If there are four nations, why do only three of them have their own national elected assemblies and governments exercising devolved powers?
What point is there in England having its own assembly when Westminster already has more English MPs than all the Scots, Welsh, and NI ones put together? Just prevent non-English MPs voting on English issues and everyone will be happy.
Because many of us don t trust Westminster with its majority of English MPs, who never seem very exercised about England. Also we believe maui sunset dinner cruise preview the lopsided devolutionary settlement has caused much of the current mess, so a fudge like EVEL won t do, neither maui sunset dinner cruise preview will regionalisation along EU lines.
The point is to move an English Parliament out of London so it is not dominated by the pseudo-elite of the Metropolis. The further away from London it governs from, the more likely it will be to truly represent the people.
What a silly thing to say. Why would the people be more truly represena Parliament in Salford. Or Plymouth? Or Carlisle?Far more people live in London than in the whole of Scotland. They can t all be elite. I thought John Redwood s solution was neat..
Why obviously. The American, Australian, Canadian and French parliaments are not so situated. More people live in the South East than anywhere else.of course a new Parliament would have a ghasty maui sunset dinner cruise preview modern building like the one in Edinburgh (which is not central to Scotland. Whereas the Houses of Parliament are beautiful, inspiring and iconic.
maui sunset dinner cruise preview Obviously because it would better bind England together if it was equally accessible from all parts of England, as far as that may be practicable. The fine Victor
