independence. Mibbes Aye, Mibbes Naw. I'll be like, "That's it ` | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
let's get voting!" Our cameras have spent the last four | :00:00. | :00:26. | |
months in the homes of voters. From castles to council flats, we've | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
followed Scots from wealthy and poorer backgrounds. # Down on the | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
West Coast, they got a sayin' # "If you're not drinkin' then you're not | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
playin'" # But you've got the music... #. A few have always known | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
know how they'll vote, but most started the campaign with an open | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
mind. Here's what you missed last time. Shaun the hairdresser hoped | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
for some inspiration at the salon, but he still has no idea how he's | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
going to vote. Simon, the laird, lives in this castle and he's always | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
known how he'll be voting. No. Jessica and her fiance, Mark, were | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
involved in a family stooshie. We can still be part of Britain and | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
still be proud Scots. We're not, though, cos we're a forgotten | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
nation. Lifelong friends, Stewart and Frank, run this boat together. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Stewart's undecided and Frank's a Yes. He's been trying to convince | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
his shipmate to follow the same course. And that's what you missed | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
on Mibbes Aye, Mibbes Naw. We'll be watching to see how our | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
voters make their momentous decision and we've been giving them some | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
homework, too ` campaign highlights to wile away those long summer | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
nights, starting with news of a magical boost for the No Campaign. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
JK Rowling made the headlines, not for writing a new bestseller, but | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
for writing a rather large cheque. REPORTER: The ?1 million she's | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
donated to Better Together is a major boost to their campaign. In a | :01:51. | :02:03. | |
statement, she said... There's always risks there. You still never | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
fully know what's going to happen. Aye, well, going independent's too | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
big a risk. Exactly. "I just hope with all my heart that we never have | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
cause to look back and feel that we made a historically bad mistake." | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
She's a much respected figure throughout Scotland, I think. She's | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
got a place in every family in Scotland and I think she's come to | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
the conclusion that we're better together, listening to the | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
arguments, so it's a very important endorsement for us. That's right, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
and she writes fiction, Margaret! REPORTER: The Edinburgh`based author | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
says Scotland is an exceptional country, that the vision set out by | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Yes supporters is highly appealing, but she's worried about the economy, | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
the future of medical research. Gie your ?1 million pound to medical | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
research, then. The Harry Potter author predicted that she might be | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
demonised for speaking out about independence, and that was reflected | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
by some of the more vitriolic reactions to her comments on Twitter | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
today. That's ridiculous. If the wifey's got her opinion, she's got | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
her opinion. Yeah, but there's ae gonnae be a slagging match in | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
something as big as this, Frank. At the end of the day, whether it's a | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Yes or a No vote, we all have to live together here. You dinnae want | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
bad blood to come out of any of this. # I'll be a thorn in your side | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
# Till you die... #. There's no room for bad blood on Frank and Stewart's | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
boat. # If we sink # We lift our love. These shipmates don't just run | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
this charter business together ` they've been best pals since they | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
were eight years old. # I'll be a thorn in your side # For always # If | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
we sink # We lift our love... #. Today, they're taking family and | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
friends on a trip to see a shipwreck. The boat they're looking | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
at was bombed by a German plane during the Second World War. Frank's | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
neighbour, Hebbie, watched it happen as a young boy in 1943. It's very | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
interesting to see it. Yeah. After all these years! What, did you have | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
anti`aircraft guns in...? Reminiscing soon turns to | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
referendum. How do you feel aboot the referendum, Hebbie? The | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
referendum? Oh, I think they should keep the UK together. Keep it | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
together! I think there's too many unanswered questions. It seems that | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Stewart is siding with Frank's neighbour instead of his best pal. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Hawick`born Frank is voting Yes, while native Shetlander, Stewart, | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
seems reluctant to leave Britain behind. My grandad, 100 years ago | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
this year, was in France, fighting for Britain. Fighting for everybody | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
that lives in this country now. And he was fighting wi' Cockneys and | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Yorkshiremen and guys fae Liverpool, boys fae Glasgow ` they were all | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
British. And I dinnae want tae lose that. Yeah, but if you go back 300 | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
years ago, we were fighting instead of friends. We were fighting amongst | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
each other. Naw ` that's you guys fae bloody Hawick! You Border guys. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
We never were fighting wi' them. The last time we were fighting with | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
anybody was aboot 500 years ago. Touche?! All right! OK. While | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
Stewart contemplates the past in trying to help shape his decision, | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
two pals in Glasgow contemplate voting for the very first time. What | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
do you think? In a month's time, when it comes to it, what do you | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
think you're going to do? I don't know! I'm terrible at making | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
decisions! Not got long left now ` what are you going to do? I know. I | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
don't know! I don't know ` I'll need to think about it nearer the time. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
And then it'll be a last`minute decision. I said like... Not long | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
ago, I said that I was going to just flip a coin and say, yes ` heads, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
tails ` no! I won't do that but I'll need to just... I don't know. I've | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
still no decided ` at all. I know. It's tricky, isn't it? So far, | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
undecided voter Shaun has been getting most of his information from | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
clients and colleagues at the salon. I think a lot of stuff is just... I | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
don't even know what they're saying! Perhaps some "me time" will help | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
make things clearer for him. I'm just putting on my face for going | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
out in drag. I like to go out as a boy as well sometimes, so this is | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
just a bit of fun for me. When I get dressed up I am called Peaches. I | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
call myself Peaches so, just short and sweet. Peachalicious! All my | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
friends that are coming round today, they're all for the yes ` they're | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
all voting yes. I always just think because I've got a job and I just | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
get on with my normal, everyday life I don't really think it's going to | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
affect me. Maybe it will when it happens and all that kind of stuff. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Maybe it will affect me but, at the moment, I don't think by changing, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
like, just going independent and changing Scotland, it's going to | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
change that much for me, I don't think. But maybe it will. I just | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
don't think it will ` I go to my work and do my days at work and go | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
and get my night out, go and see my family and that. I don't know how | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
it's going to change that much, to be fair. We're never going to know | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
until we try it, so... That's what people keep saying, and if it | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
doesn't work out then we just have to try and pick ourselves back up | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
again. It is my decision, obviously, at the end of the day, but I'm just | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
getting the decision from my friends anyway. So, that's why I'm thinking, | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
maybe I should be a sheep and follow the crowd! It's the height of | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
summer, but our national raincloud threatens to put a dampener on | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
Glasgow's Pride, though nothing's going to rain on Shaun's parade. | :07:53. | :08:07. | |
He's on a mission today and seems determined to make up his | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
mind...with a little help from his friends. But what if we went | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
independent and it went all a flop? We can't go crawling back, can we? I | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
think it would be an amazing thing now. We'd get a good party, we'd get | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
to live it up. But it's whether it's good for the next generations. And I | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
just think it depends. But then it's up to the Scottish people then, cos | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
it's about who we vote in ` what we decide. And I guess that's the whole | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
point of the exercise. It's up to us. I've spoken to Gazelle and I've | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
spoken to these guys and they all vote yes and I was thinking I was | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
in`between. When it first started, I was yes and then I went in`between, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
and I still want to say no, so I can disagree with them cos a bit of a | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
debate would be fabulous! Are you still no? No, I'm in`between ` I've | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
always been in`between. Are you closer to yes now? Cos of all yous ` | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
that's what I was saying earlier on ` I'm closer to yes. Can you imagine | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
the party? Imagine the yes vote party? Oh, well, I'm definitely yes! | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
I don't understand it anyway so I'll just vote yes, so I'll be with all | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
my pals and we can all vote yes and we can all be fabulous together. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Woooo! If it does become an independent Scotland, I hope it's a | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
fabulous Scotland and it's full of glitter! Whoo! As Peaches and her | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
pals head off into the dreich Glasgow night, we can but ponder a | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
sky full of glitter! MUSIC: "Sky Full Of Stars" by Coldplay. Back at | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
the castle, the laird and his wife are in no mood for partying. How are | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
they going to fund all of this? To be honest, I agree, if you could | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
have decent pensions, people who genuinely need benefits having a | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
better standard of life, I agree with all of that, but how is it | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
going to be funded? It's not just about we can do it, how we going to | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
do it? That's what I want to know. I know. What's the advantages we're | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
getting out of independence anyway? None. They're talking about more | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
devolution anyway, so the power is going to be more in Edinburgh | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
anyway. But, right... Free childcare ` SNP are in power right now ` why | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
are they not giving it to me right now? If I had free childcare, I | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
could go out to work. Out to work rather than contribute the tiny | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
amounts I'm contributing to the economy, I could be contributing a | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
lot more. Why do they have to wait until independence to do it? More | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
homework for our voters. Back in June, some research about the | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
working`class vote was making the news. In every election, there's a | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
type of voter that the politicians are just desperate to attract. And | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
now, in this independence referendum, there's a new target. | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
Who is it? For the sake of argument, we'll call him Easterhouse man...or | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
woman. So who are we talking about? Well, it's people from working`class | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
areas, on lower incomes, who lean to the left, and the evidence suggests | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
many are for independence. I've heard this before. I haven't. So | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
those that live in the more deprived neighbourhoods of Scotland are more | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
likely to vote yes, and those that live in the most affluent | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
neighbourhoods are more likely to vote no. I wonder why? Because I | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
think the SNP are playing on the fact that... They're saying that | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
life will be better. So where do we find our Easterhouse voter on a wet | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
Wednesday afternoon? Whoo! Despite the labels, not everyone here's | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
convinced by the SNP's plans. It's all right saying increase the | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
minimum wage, but when you cannae get a job what good's bloody talking | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
about increasing the minimum wage? All the kids has not got a job to go | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
to, so... That's a good point, actually. I don't want to use euros | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
or anything like that. I've used them when I've been on holiday, and | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
I just don't like them. They all talk the same, they all say the same | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
` they're gonnae dae this, they're gonnae dae that, then when they get | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
in, they all dae the bloody same, so... Bang on! How many people think | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
that ` what she just said? I know. Say wan thing, dae another. The | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
higher up the ranks you go, I think it may still be no. If you're in | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
amongst the working classes, I think the yes vote will be a strong vote. | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
More to gain, less to lose. But half the working class are not going to | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
vote. How? I don't think hardly anybody's hardly going to vote | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
because I spoke to all my family ` my sisters, my mum, my dad... They | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
not voting?! Why? Because they don't know who to vote for. They're not | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
interested. Working class is traditionally SNP or Labour, and an | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
awful lot of people associate the no vote with the Conservatives. And | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
it's not, strictly speaking, true because it's all of the other | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
parties, apart from the SNP are saying that they think it should be | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
a no. But, unfortunately, it's getting tarred with a Tory brush, | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
basically. People at the top of the scale it's like... "I've got X | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
amount of money, I've got my property, "I've got business | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
interests here, I've got business interests "in England ` how's it | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
going to affect me financially?" So, obviously, it's a bigger decision | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
for them on a personal level. More risk for them to consider. On the | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
face of it, Andy and Simon may not appear to have much in common. One | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
lives in a castle, the other in a council bedsit. Simon works on his | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
own estate, while Andy works to maintain someone else's. But they do | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
have at least one thing in common ` they're both passionate about their | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
country, just in slightly different ways. Simon thinks the idea of | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
independence is too drastic. Need to get from the top of the cliff to the | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
bottom, you can either jump and hope the water's deep enough, or you can | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
use a ladder or a rope or something ` let's be a little bit more | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
sensible about it. Andy's ready to take the plunge. Sometimes, people | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
in Scotland can diverge from our southern neighbours when it comes to | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
things like welfare cuts, bedroom tax, invading other countries. I | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
mean, a lot of the time, people in Scotland don't go for that, but | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
we're carried along by the majority. So if we have our own say in that, | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
we can make our own decisions, basically. And it's basically like | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
growing up. I mean, I've grown up in my life. I sort of became | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
independent and self`sufficient. I don't see why a country can't do it | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
either, you know? DRILLS WHIR Big, grown up Andy is doing a spot of | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
DIY. DRILLS WHIR. Big, grown up Andy is | :14:36. | :14:49. | |
doing a spot of DIY. He's preparing to get his message out there. You | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
can knock these up in no time at all and, of course, because it's yes, | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
the colour scheme doesn't matter, cos that was thought out beforehand, | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
I think. And three letters, which is not Better Together which is... Or | :15:00. | :15:12. | |
no, which is negative. Basically it's a case of drill a couple of | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
holes, or whatever, and just put them up wherever you want. Just take | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
a board, pick a spot... Done ` that's one. Then just repeat the | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
process until you get bored ` no pun intended! Simon's not shy about | :15:24. | :15:42. | |
showing his allegiance either, but today he's not on the campaign trail | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
` he's on the tourist trail. There are currently 25 Crawfords staying | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
at his castle ` from America, Canada and England. They've come to | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
celebrate their clan ` and all things Scottish. | :15:56. | :16:08. | |
Robert The Bruce, himself, is buried in the Abbey. Within the grounds of | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
the Abbey, we have Wallace's mother, Margaret Crawford, who you all know | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
is one of the reasons why we have that great connection with Wallace. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Today, Simon's brought the Crawford clan to Dunfermline Abbey ` an | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
important site in the history of William Wallace and Robert The Bruce | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
` who just happen to be a couple of his relatives. I've always kind of | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
known about my history and the family history, so I suppose it just | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
means I'm very passionate about Scotland and where we've come from | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
to get to where we are now. It does really kind of... It kind of gets | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
you in the pit of your stomach thinking, "Oh the real Scottishness | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
of what we're looking at," all the different sites, going round all the | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
old ruins and Bannockburn at the weekend and places like this. As the | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
pilgrimage continues for Simon and his tourists, it's all one`way | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
traffic in Andy's drive for independence. Well, Monday was the | :16:56. | :17:11. | |
100 days to the referendum, so now's the time when we start to put up | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
boards, flags, stuff like that... ...just in the build`up to the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
referendum. But it's just basically... It's quite a good way | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
to reach people because a lot of these roads are quite busy during | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
rush hour, so you put a board up saying anything, just like, "Yes," | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
hundreds, if no thousands, of people see it in 24 hours. So even if | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
they're taken down within a week or so, they've served their purpose | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
because so many people have seen them. There's nothing really UK | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
unionists can tell me to make me feel, you know, I'd rather stick | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
with the UK. Because every day we're in the UK I think I'm losing | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
something. I think there's somebody taking advantage or somebody getting | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
one over on me. It seems that a change in the political landscape | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
has not been the only kind of change on Andy's mind. You've obviously had | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
a big change in the facial`hair stakes. ANDY LAUGHS. No change in | :18:12. | :18:23. | |
your vote, though? No, no, no, no, no! Naw, I've still got a pulse! | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
Naw, naw, still got the pulse! Simon's finished his tour`guide | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
duties for the day and is throwing an unseasonal Burns supper for his | :18:30. | :18:41. | |
guests. The Haggis! THEY TOAST THE HAGGIS. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Could any of this stuff this week ` revisiting all these sights and, you | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
know, it's been the anniversary of Bannockburn... Yeah, were at both | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Saturday and Sunday at the Bannockburn Live and the Pipe Fest | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
on Friday. And you're going to ask me, is that going to change my | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
mind?! No, why would it change my mind? I still think Scotland's the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
best country in the world but it doesn't need to be independent to be | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
the best country in the world! Tonight is the last night at the | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
castle for the visiting Crawford clan. They have shared ten days of | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
all things Scottish with their cousin Simon. It's not that I think | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
it's better for me, because it's not going to make any odds to me either | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
way, we will carry on being here and we will see Scotland through. So, it | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
doesn't matter which way it goes, but I think Scotland will do better | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
if we stay in the union. "Whene'er to Drink you are inclin'd, Or | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
Cutty`sarks rin in your mind, Think ye may buy the joys o'er dear, | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
Remember Tam O'Shanter's mare." CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Homework time | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
again for our voters. It's probably fair to say that on the road to the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
referendum, there has been one particular topic that has come up | :19:58. | :20:08. | |
again and again and again and again. Perhaps man's best friend could shed | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
some light on the matter, in this clip, produced by supporters of the | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
Yes campaign. What's the only pound you cannae spend? The dog pound! | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Aye, but there's a pound we can all spend, even after independence. And | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
that's the pound we have right now. A pound is a pound, whether it's got | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
a picture of the Queen, Rabbie Burns, or even me. In future, will | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
Scotland have its own currency? The Highland goat! Aye, it's goat, not | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
groat. "I'll give you two goats for that pint of milk!". HE LAUGHS. | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
Well, Ireland kept the pound when it became independent in 1922, and kept | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
it for over 50 years. And look how great they are doing now! Yeah, | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
exactly. Whoo, I want to be just like Ireland! But the UK Government | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
has said it might not want to share. The currency is under the pound, if | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
we don't have the pound, then... That's not going to happen, they | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
realise that now. Before we split up with them, they are just trying to | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
say, "Yous have part of that debt..." But they won't have an | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
independent Scotland and not give us the pound, because there is too | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
much... They are missing out on too much. The pound belongs as much to | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Scotland as it does to the rest of the UK. It's like a shared asset. | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
But if they want to keep all the assets after independence, then they | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
get to keep the debts as well. That thing's very good. Vote yes! I'm | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
joking. I love this idea that theoretically, if Scotland doesn't | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
get the pound, that then, we manage to magically ditch all the debt... | :21:46. | :21:55. | |
Get rid of all our debt. No, Scotland has to take some of the | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
portion of debt that the UK has had. Mark is standing firm, arguing his | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
case for the union, with mixed results. At the minute, you get your | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
prescriptions and all that free, right? You get free eye tests. Aye, | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
here, only in Scotland. So, if we go independent, how will we be able to | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
keep that up? But that's only in Scotland anyway. Is it? Uh`huh. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Jessica seemed to be swinging towards a no vote, and even baby | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
Oliver had got in on the act. Are you voting no, yeah? BABY GURGLES. | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
He's voting no as well. But could there be trouble in paradise? I just | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
think sometimes he talks nonsense and I'm just like, I can't be | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
bothered listening to him. You know women and guys, don't you? Guys | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
aren't allowed an opinion and women are allowed everything, so... Mark | :22:46. | :23:05. | |
may think he's proved his point, but it seems that Jessica has been doing | :23:06. | :23:17. | |
some extra homework on her own. I was voting no just because I thought | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
it was the right thing to do, but when I've actually took | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
responsibility and read up about it and things, and realised the kind of | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
benefits for Scotland to be an independent country, I don't think | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
it's more that I've surprised myself, it's more that I feel I'm | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
making a responsible decision. For me, I think yes is the right thing | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
to do. Mum Sharleen has arrived for lunch with Jessica and baby Oliver. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
She has always been voting yes and had hoped that her daughter would | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
join her. So, what has changed? Because you were yes, then you were | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
undecided... Just all the information about it. I don't want | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
to have to pay ?7.85 for prescriptions, I don't want to have | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
to pay ?9,000 for him to go to university. Just, like, the NHS is | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
going to be privatised, there's nothing beneficial to stay part of | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
the UK. Are you totally, totally yes? Totally. Totally yes? So, when | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
you go into the box on the 18th, you're going to say yes? Uh`huh. So, | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
what does Mark think about the fact that you're totally yes now? He said | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
he will divorce me if... SHE LAUGHS. ..if I vote yes. Just because | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
he's... Joking? Or is he meaning it? Well, he just likes being, totally, | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
like... Together, as a union. Next week on Mibbes Aye, Mibbes Naw... | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
Could there be more than one union at risk? If things don't go the way | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
you're planning, what is your plan B? Stewart finally makes his | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
decision. I've been doing an awful lot of hard thinking about this. But | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
is it the one that Frank has been hoping for? It is looking fine | :24:53. | :25:36. | |
overnight, where we get clear skies there will be some mist and fog. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Where there is cloud, a little less cold. | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
Where there is cloud, a little less Temperatures around 11 or 12 | :25:43. | :25:43. |
