Yet another garbage meme circulated on Scots Nationalist Social Media , if the arguments for Scottish Independence is so great then why do they have to make up so many completely ridiculous lies ? Have a quick look and scroll down for explanations on why this meme is just complete rubbish.
=======================================================================
Lets split the meme up and deal with it section by section.
There is no source given for the number given in the data given here, a sure sign that its simply made up , if there was a real source of evidence surely you would wish to show it. "English Tory Immigrants" well, well, well it appear this was simply written by a bigot so yet again no evidence or source of the data so most likely simply made up drivel.
========================================================================
Postal Votes are counted at counting stations before the actual ballot boxes start to be delivered to them from the Polling Stations so they start on these first. Observers from both sides are present as well to make sure everything correctly and above board. This is when Observer's can count and estimate which way the Vote may be going. There were no prosecutions for "Vote sampling" as there was nothing done wrongly.
See more here Why Nationalists tried to accuse "others" of illegal vote sampling" they completely ignored SNP MSP Humza Yousaf admitting that he was doing exactly the same thing. As seen on this Youtube Video here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKihNnw8B_c So False, no crime was committed.
=======================================================================
All these accusations are simply conspiracy stories made up by people who either want to create rumours or from people who simply do not understand the counting process and misinterpret what they saw. All of these accusations are explained clearly and completely debunked by this Website post from
WingsoverScotland.
So all are False, no crimes were committed.

Tory Bookmakers ? Which ones would they be then ? Just a made up conspiracy theory and not a very good one. All the large bookmakers in the UK ie Ladbrokes, Coral , Betfair, Paddy Power etc are all listed companies that are listed on the UK Stockmarket and literally each has millions of individual shareholders many of which are UK company pension funds. So no large Bookmakers in the UK are "owned by Tories" or their immediate families. As for paying out before the result was known lets face it just how ridiculous is that ? It's true though that Bookmakers did predict the final result although that result was narrower than many predicted,Bookmakers are very good at working out the odds on who the Winners and Losers will be ..after all its what their whole business model is based on.
So once again just completely False.
=======================================================================
I've never heard of this but lets face it highly unlikely, unless of course the writer might be basing their story here on some remote island or such like.
More likely just another part of this made up conspiracy theory.
========================================================================
Many Scottish Nationalists do have a fixation (or delusion you may wish to call it) on some great conspiracy going on behind the scenes and that everyone is conspiring again them , it is only in there own minds alone and has been an issue to the SNP as it demeans their cause, even the leader of the YES campaign has stated that there was NO bias from the BBC against the YES side. However Yes activists just love to play "Victim Politics" and do their best to promote these conspiracy theories to "help the cause".
So again FALSE. There are two links here

=======================================================================
Even stranger then that no-one i know was ever heard of such a story, so we have to assume more made up rubbish to support the rest of this conspiracy story.
=======================================================================
This is just more exaggerated nonsense there were "some" businesses that made their thoughts known that thought separation might damage their businesses and affect jobs,also some companies put their companies names on lists supporting a No vote which they are perfectly free to do if they wished to but there was certainly no great conspiracy here. The words "most companies" used here is just false too there are dozens and dozens of large Scottish companies listed on the UK stockmarket and most simply didn't comment either way on the matter at all. Of course the writer has to get "Camerons" name involved somehow near the end of this meme to focus the made up grievances back on those "evil Tories" again. The side of the coin of course is that there were other Scottish companies came out openly and supported the YES side , yet the writer makes no mention of those ones at all. I wonder why not ? Once again just more made up grievances to support this memes attempt at political gain through made up false propaganda.
