More desperate measures
from a government failing to

There has never been a
better generation of young 
people in Scotland – they are better educated and more aware. It is no coincidence that the creative and educated people 
in Scotland are in favour of
independence.

my area showed No votes in mock referendums.

Octane) Fuel Head

marrying and having children are likely to be feral and 
educated to a very low standard.

- Naechance

I’m 48 years old. When am I
getting a vote on the EU?
