    We also have to remember to view any of this Government's dealings through a relaity-distorter which makes an actual fucking traitor Home Secretary, responsible for the rule of law in the UK*. 

    *Not U for much longer, thankfully, as the pandering to the less decent instincts of the proletariat mean that at least two, and possibly three, nations will be leaving in my lifetime, leaving the tories with London and a vast hinterland still angry, but running out of targets for that anger. My Birth Certificate is going to be woth its weight in gold. 

    Hope you're young.

    2nd isn't bad given the absurdity of allowing half of Glasgow to flood down the road, time the numpties just opened us up and let it rip instead of trying to be too smart for their own good.

    While I don't believe in an award for everyone regardless, only recognising the "able" one doesn't do anyone any favours.

    Would much rather recognise effort, I've taught plenty bright kids who are quite lazy and just coast along.

    That's exactly why they're bollocks.

    One thing that breaks me is when I get parents complaing that their kid hasn't had an award yet. They completely omit the fact their kid has spent the term being a wee shite.

    Something to mark the end of primary is grand, but given there are no exams to pass the term "graduation" is a stretch at best. I think it's partly due to the age of social media and some parents' obsession with plastering everything Facebook.


     

    They're a nonsense if effort trumps ability.

    My son's school have a ceremony every year, takes a good few hours to cover all the school.  This year, my son got his certificate and a "special award" for good attendance  - we've been doing home schooling for a year now FFS.  And he's fallen asleep in the lessons a good few times that I'm aware of!  

    Load of pish.  (I've still framed all the certificates and put them up in the bedroom like any proud parent would though)

    They're a load of bollocks for primary school.

    Good analogy, but to make it more accurate it's as though the referee has to be sure it was a penalty beyond all reasonable doubt, and they don't see the actual incident, they only have it described to them by the two players themselves much later. 

    We're talking about the actual match not analysing the highlights later on.

    Do you think the following statement is accurate, and one of the things that Rev Stu has pegged about Sturgeon? 

    Nicola Sturgeon busily turns Scotland into a vicious, spiteful, intolerant, authoritarian and misogynist country

    As always its a bit over the top for me, I'm not into overly dramatic statements for the sake of it, it highlights a lack of self esteem/confidence IMO, he actually posts in a manner of someone who has been bullied.

    Of course, but you only have to look at the conspiracy nutterdom around the Salmond case to see how many people make that leap.

    So you think everyone of his accusers was doing it from a position of actually suffering at the hands of Salmond? 

    Why is Salmond not even allowed to state which pieces of evidence helped aquit him? 

    A few people involved in this could claim justice hasn't served them well, Salmond is one of them.

    Is he wrong with regards there being no referendum for the foreseeable future? Is he wrong about Boris just continuing to say no?

    I couldn't give a shit about the trans debate but these are the things I'm interested in. I hope he's going to be proved wrong but I suspect not.

    I think he's correct on an awful lot of stuff, unfortunately he puts too much bitterness into his posts. 

    He's certainly got Sturgeon and those around her pegged.

    What exactly do you think the impact would be on convictions for sexual offences if the alleged victims are prosecuted for perjury every time a trial doesn't result in a guilty verdict?

    Why would alleged victims be prosecuted for perjury after every not guilty/proven verdict?

    The simple answer to the EU question is that we can have a referendum on membership shortly after independence.

    Given that we've only just come out and will still be aligned on lots of things and the EU would probably look favourably on our membership post Brexit, there's a decent chance we would be fast tracked or even admitted as some sort of legacy member.

    However, there's no need to go into any of that unless there are cast iron guarantees from the EU. Equally, any yoons touting the 10-15 year timescale and forced entry into the Euro can be safely ignored.

    They can't be safely ignored as a chunk of the population gobble that shit up with gusto.

    I'm afraid the argument has not been won by the SNP, on either issue, in the public arena where votes count.

    The UK will use those same arguments and they will have exactly the same impact as before. Add in Brexit and job fears over the pandemic and I think you'll find the public has more than enough to worry about without further upheaval. Timing is everything and the timing is shite right now for IndyRef2.

    I agree, timing is everything but she really needs to get the go ahead early doors then prepare properly for it.

    The SNP had a huge historic win last week, those who voted for them knew that a second referendum was included in the manifesto.

    The unionist seethe against the result is clearly evident on here as they continually post the same old 2014 NO  scaremongering items which worked for them last time, it was noticeable that they want quiet for a couple of days on here, but ow they are back in their droves with their drivel, they can carry on with their anti hysteria all they want but when the referendum campaign starts all this will be put to rest by the SNP.

    There's a whole new block of young voters now who want Independence, so I suggest you go on their social media and tell them how they are going to lose their pensions if they vote for Independence.

    So bleat on all you want westminster boot lickers but that Independence wagon is gaining pace. 

    That'll be nowt new to offer then.

    We've been over currency and pensions repeatedly on here and shown appropriate answers to pensions and currency on Independence.

    And there is no more mileage left in the pensions and currency argument for the anti Independence mob. 

    Do you honestly think that, because of the problems those two areas threw up in the 2014 referendum, that the SNP haven't prepared for those.?

     

    Let's hear it then.

    The pensions issue hasn't been addressed by the UK government either.

    There's only so far you can push up the retirement age to reduce the cost of unfunded state pensions.

    Those on the side of the status quo don't need to address anything. 

    I don't see the charismtic people required to win the arguments within the SNP, people need to be inspired to shift from NO to YES, I don't see it when I switch my telly on.

    A second referendum is inevitable, the result of last weeks historic SNP win demands it, those who don't want it will have to like it or lump it.

    It demanded it at the previous election as well, don't remember them liking or lumping that half-hearted effort, she'll no doubt be hoping this blows over as well.
