And so it begins (again)!!

So yesterday Nicola announced the news we had all been expecting, something I have believed in since I was old enough to understand. something I was brought up by my parents to believe would happen one day even if it was not in our lifetime, so why do I feel so sick at even the mention of it??

I know why, its because I was so heartbroken on September 19th 2014 that I didn't know what to do with myself. The feeling of disappointment, of a chance not taken, of a loss of something that we never had. I am so scared of the same result that I don't want to go through it all again so soon. But could it just be possible? could it be different this time? If there is even a chance we have to try even if it means this is the last chance.

So once again we will campaign and again I will drive everyone I know nuts in the hope that I can make a difference no matter how small to the outcome. If I can change even a few minds then I will have done my best.

I know most of my friends and family disagree with me and believe that we are fine as we are and should be part of the United Kingdom and that is what democracy is all about, that others have the right to choose just as I do even if we agree to disagree. If that choice is made with a knowledge of the political system and both sides of the argument then good luck to them but when people choose to vote NO through ignorance and lack of understanding with no interest to find out exactly what they are voting for I start to get really hacked off. When the facebook comments from idiots with no clue and who wouldn't know politics unless Jeremy Kyle talks about it on his show I have to stop myself saying out loud what I really think. Already the  "unbiased" press have gone into the usual anti independence crap and when a reporter on sky news asked Alex Salmond last night what currency do we plan to use I nearly threw my cup at the telly. I wonder how many times I will need to find myself shouting "ITS OUR BLOODY POUND" or "NO WESTMINSTER DOES NOT GIVE US MONEY ITS OUR MONEY TO START WITH" in the next eighteen months. What's more the campaign wont start in earnest till 100 days before the vote and that's a long time to rant for lol.

So I am hiding here ranting whilst I try and avoid all news,  front pages and facebook for the foreseeable. And When the time comes I will campaign my wee heart out with everything crossed because this time we can do it, because my poor wee heart cant cope if we don't.
