More audience participation
We already know that we have the most awesome and creative readers in the land, but this morning we’re going to give you a chance to demonstrate it yet again.
(Don’t worry, you won’t need your credit cards.)
We’re currently working on a particularly excellent project, which will hopefully be ready very soon but about which we can’t give you any more details at this stage. However, we need some stuff for that project, and that’s where you can help.
We want 18 images. Nine of them have to depict some aspect of the Yes campaign, and nine of them the No campaign. They have to be in portrait format (ie taller than they are wide), and very roughly newspaper-sized in proportion, so we’ve suggested a couple of examples above, one representing each side.
But any kind of image goes – it can be a picture of a person, a cartoon, an original graphic, a chart, or anything else. All that matters is that it sums up some aspect of the campaign, that it’s the right shape, and that it looks good.
We’ve got a few ideas of our own, but we’d like to see yours. Go for it.
Boz, If only I can find the article *I swear* I read stating if Scotland achieved Independence it wouldn’t be allowed to call itself Scotland.. and it wasn’t BBC Scotlandshire !
Hamish and the “divorce” from the drunken lout cartoon by Chris Cairns maybe juxtaposed with Osborne’s greetin face at Maggie’s Memorial with a judicious text below him

page with the number of likes have leapt by 2458 since 17th May. Why its strange is the average that they increase is around 527 !

I do recall some friends who were not supporters of the Better Together campaign by any stretch of the imagination, finding themselves as a ‘like’
I was going to be knocking up a “jam tomorrow” picture anyway so may as well put the finished result here!
Hopefully turns out the way I want it to 🙂

No picture I’m afraid, but possibly an idea for one of your more artistic readers.
I thought of a cartoon book cover, the book to be called “The Big Book Of Unionist Scare Stories”. The cover features a be-kilted Scot being chased away from a polling booth by a John Bull type figure, with speech bubbles featuring the words ‘Currency!’ ‘Mortgages!’ ‘Europe!’ etc.
If not for your own project Rev, it’d still make a good image to share on social media.

Just to make sure people are aware.
Yesterday’s SoS ICM poll must be discounted. It asked indyref related questions ahead of asking the indy question, namely how comfortable / uncomfortable people were in being asked referendum VI.
Unsurprisingly, this made respondents uncomfortable about pollster motivations resulting in Yes dropping and no rising in those groups who felt most uncomfortable giving an indy ref intention. Most obvious among female respondents, but male hit too; that’s mainly what cause the mysterious gap increase.
ICM said last month they ‘feel’ that No should be higher and that they believed their was a shy No vote. This had alarms bells ringing for anyone who follows polls; no pollster should be using their own gut feelings which are likely to be based on their own bias/political preferences.
Well, it looks like they looked for a shy No and created / highlighted a Shy Yes. The leading pre-indy Q and implications seems to have been hushed up by them and Prof. C; I can’t see anything in the latter’s blog about this yet he was all over the SNP when they had ‘leading’ Q’s ahead of the indy Q in a poll last year.
ICM can’t be trusted it would seem, which is quite shocking.

Also ICM have 7% to many people from England again, further skewing results. Panelbase the most demographically representative sample.

Is it not very odd that the old age category that Yes lead in is the 55-64 demographic? I might be wrong but I’ve never seen that group in favour of Yes in any other poll and its not one that I would think of being a bastion of pro-independence support
Also Glasgow is the only region were its close. Again this seems odd in comparison with other polls.
Are the attributable to the shyness factor or am I miss reading the tables?

I want Donald Dewar’s words from a 1996 TV debate:
“Why is it, when there are powers presently exercised by Westminster, you think that’s fine, but when those powers are passed to Scots, you think they cannot be trusted to take sensible decisions?”
But I don’t know what visuals that would be with. Dave, George, Nick, Ed and a bunch of ermine vermin?
I’d also like pictures of wee tots with captions like “Scotland’s ambassador to Brazil, 2038”; or “Got her dream job without emigrating, 2031”; “Scotland’s Olympic team 2032”; “Graduated debt-free in 2034”; “Scotland’s head of European Commission, 2060”.

I had some problems including comments disappear or saying ‘duplicate post’ and pages posting dozens of times on top of each other and I could only stop that by pressing the close button on my computer a few weeks back but not recently.
The strangest thing that happened after that was I posted a link to Wings on one of the MSM papers and when anyone clicked on that, it linked straight on to a post that I had made – I thought that was a bit ‘spooky’.
I did look at VNB once or twice but I can’t remember if it was before or after the problems.

@Truth – I was just responding to you when my post disappeared.
Try again – I clicked on the web site you mentioned a couple of times and did experience comments disappearing on here or saying duplicate but I’m not sure if it was before or after.

I mentioned that I had posted a link to WOS on an MSM, which went straight to a comment I had made instead of to the top of the article I was referring to.

Why dont they show Gibraltar as Free Eductaion? Happy proud Tour Guide I met there smiled when he heard my Scottish voice and said “Ah Scotland, you are they same as us, You believe that children should be able to go to University and everyone benefits!”

There’s also a belter of the “noble” Lord Robertson dressed up like a turkey that was doing the rounds last week, I think on Twitter. Certainly a single image that would persuade me to vote Yes, on the grounds that I do not want to be part of a society that takes this shit seriously! 😉

here’s an idea (unfortunately I don’t have the time to make it right now)
Gary Wilson – co-ordinator for the No campaign in the Edinburgh
East Labour party
Alex Lunn – councillor for Craigentinny & Duddingston ward in Edinburgh
… (list some more folk who have converted to a yes votes, sure there is a lib dem and a tory)
Then list results of debates in universities etc (there are many) and on that episode of newsnight Scotland, before and after.
Finally state that ‘we can’t think of any cases which are the opposite of this’ and ask ‘why do you think that is?’
or something along the lines

It depends on how you are going to use it, Stuart.
If it’s for Billboards, then the simplest message is two pictures with no words except ‘Union’ and ‘Independence’. One half of the billboard says ‘Union’ and depicts a run down area within Scotland, while the ‘Indy’ side shows something like a bunch of happy kids running to a new school. Another might be empty shipyards under the Union, while the Indy side shows the building of ships. All positive messages!
If it was for a book, then you would want facts (as some of the guys have done above). Myth busting claims such as the recent one in the Scottish Daily Mail (sure it was the Mail) where they claimed Pensions would be better in the UK, but in the UK edition, it claimed ALL our UK Pensions were going to hell. Things like that where the BT mob couldn’t deny it since the media had ACTUALLY published it, will make folk think twice.
Part of the problem is (and I’m sure you get it on a daily basis) is that folk say ‘give me the facts’ …well, what better way than to blow the media’s own facts right out of the water by showing people 2 contrasting headlines. If you can get the vast majority of people to become suspicious and question the media, then it moves everyone in the right direction. It may just have the ‘normal’ folk out there who have not really engaged wonder if the UK government is being straight with them. Sow the seeds of doubt and who knows!
Hope this helps.
@JLT
Definitely makes a big difference where they’re being used. I’d like to see something like these from Chomsky, pulling no punches about the media:
If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion
or
Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the media.
or
Citizens of the democratic societies should undertake a course of intellectual self defense to protect themselves from manipulation and control

9 Topics: Currency, EU, Pensions, Defence, Economy, Oil, Energy, Borders, Universities. All based on BT claims, but grossly exagerated. And the BT claims under the heading “what you get with the Union”. Just reverse their own claims back on them. No particular order:
1). Ponsonby of STV chasing Osborne into a taxi after the Edinburgh pounding. Salmond shaking hands with Carney, signage Bank of England.
2). Gordon Brown refusing to be interviewed after the Fife pensions thing. No, better is those 2 contrasting headlines same day.
or 2). Something with link to pistonheads.com demonstartaing what BT want for Scotland – an ageing population.
3). Some brilliant picture really demolishing “the best of both worlds”. Maybe craters on the moon, and arable farmland.
4). Ah, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid done up as Alexander and Osborne, robbing the Bank of England
5). Pic of the Kuznetzov being escorted, 1 with the UK with the Black Pig leaky dinghy, Hammond at the tiller, Cameron firing a Purdie. Other with a T26 with Saltire, Sturgeon at the helm.
That sort of thing. I agree with JLT – we’d really need to know the context the picture are for, is it totally factual, comparative, taking the rip?

One for your poster collection
Or take posters from the BT website, there’s a lot of dodgyu ones there. Against them take some real life or film image. For instance, the BT one saying “the only way to keep the pound is vote NO”, against a clip from whatever film it was with a load of Scots in kilts turning their backs and lifting the kilts. Ah, Braveheart. Well, why not?
Mmm, a picture of Fred Goodwin with the caption “Your Pound is safe in the UK banks.”. Cameron and Boris holding hands opening London’s 9th Hub Airport, with an old smoky steaming bus destination board “North Britain”.

Here is a side by side map one showing installed ON shore wind power generating capacity for England and Germany.
Not directly on song but it is illustrative of the extent to which English nimbyism has been accommodated. I don’t blame the English people themselves for the nimbyism, every country which has ON shore wind power has nimbys, but the level to which it has been accomodated by Westminster is quite extraordinary, a source of bemusement and frustration for its neighbours who are doing their bit for the environment and indicative of the little Englander mentality of its ruling elite whether blue or red.
link to i51.photobucket.com
It is even worse than it looks because each blue dot on the EEA maps represent a wind ‘farm’ and there is one for every farm regardless of whether it consists of one turbine or hundreds. The only indication being a small change in dot size.
And many wind farms in England consist of one or two turbines especially in the South. For example the two dots which come anywhere near London in Essex and near Reading consist of 1 turbine and 2.
No surprise either that we have a very strange subsidy model where those very small wind farms get twice the subsidy of the larger ones through the voucher allocation system.
