    I'm very surprised to see voting in UK is operated manually.

    Brazil has been using voting machines for almost 2 decades. Despite all political problems we have (in a country with over a hundred million voters), election fraud was never one of them.

    ..I'd be surprised if it was a legit video as related to the independence vote...looks like school kids counting.

    Nae chance. He knows that's going to be actual work and its not going to work out well, he's only interested in the glory. He'll have some other scheme to keep himself in the limelight.

    Pretty sure it is legitimate. Multiple copies of it doing the rounds on t'internet and you can see the BBC "Independence referendum" banner graphic more clearly on the bottom of the screen in many of em. Doesn't mean it's evidence of vote rigging, of course, but it does look a tad suspicious to me.

    And yes, votes are counted by hand in the UK. I think there is some suspicion of digital vote counting machines here still, especially in light of the Dubya Bush presidential election "issues" in the US. So things are still done the way they always have been. We fear change! :)

    Nope, he wouldn't be taken seriously after that.
    He'll retire to the country a broken man with dreams of what could have been!

    Can you post one of those...If it is legit someone needs to sell their 1997 Sony Handycam and buy a digital one. :lol:

    I think the quality is so crap because they're recorded on phones being pointed at people's tellies!
  • edited September 2014
    Ok got it...didn't realize it was on the telly.

    Doesn't really prove anything though..the dozy mare might have just got confused which pile was which.
  • edited September 2014
    That seemed to be the obvious thing to me, from her rection to what she's doing. Hardly proves that hundreds of thousands of votes were rigged though, does it? There must be all of half a dozen in one pile when she swaps them.

    Sometimes the sheer bl**dy-minded willfully ignorant stupidity of people posting cr*p like this on the internet to suit their own sociopathic warped agenda just make me want to burn a flag and launch a missile strike on the pepetrators...

    Yeah, you shouldn't apply malice when stupidity is more likely.

    I'm not saying it isn't completely innocent. However, there are other, entirely separate, incidences of vote counters behaving "a bit shiftily" knocking about too (including one guy apparently marking a box on a ballot paper with a pen while handling it during counting).

    Yes, probably all innocent, but worthy of further investigation before being blindly discounted as merely a couple of isolated incidents of "Oohh... what I am like, putting them in the wrong pile like that" I'd have thought. It's not exactly a tough job to do accurately.

    What has been a good natured party by Yes supporters which went on even today in George Sq. in Glasgow, a large group of Union Loyalists arrived and then got aggressive. Singing Rule Brittania, attacking people and doing Nazi salutes...in a war memorial of all places. F**king good one, you bunch of f**king c**nts.

    It's ironic, because in the run up to the referendum the media often tried to make out that the Yes camp was overrun by aggressive, nationalistic thugs.

    Finally, the real thing has arrived, but not in the colours expected.

    No, a typical Saturday night in Glasgow. Do you know nothing?
    Anyway, I'm tired and sick of UK politics now (and people, if I'm honest), so I'm going back to making s**t up with pixels.
