ayrmad Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 And voting SNP will help that in what way? There would be a fair chance that rUK would need to be governed by a minority government,for stability nonbawbaggery would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 There would be a fair chance that rUK would need to be governed by a minority government, Really? Were Scotland's Labour and LD seats to be removed from the landscape and given to the SNP that would greatly increase the prospect of a majority Conservative government.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wrong. Aye? Which bit is "wrong", you investing in Northern Rock, the fact that you were convinced by some complete and utter Walter Mitty, or the fact that you started bragging about it? Got the thread open the now so I'm going to need you to be really specific. Don't want to pick the wrong bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thing you have fucked up here. It would make no difference to the ability of the Conservatives to form a majority government. In your own words; - "Even by your shocking standards, this is dripping in fail." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the thread open the now so I'm going to need you to be really specific. Don't want to pick the wrong bit. 1) You got trolled into investing thousands in Northern Rock a) I didn't invest "thousands" in Northern Rock. b) My investment in Northern Rock shares had nothing to do with the thread which discussed the purchase of Northern Rock shares. c) I didn't "brag" about buying shares in Northern Rock. I have bought and sold lots of shares down the years. Northern Rock was a small investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Really? I thing you have fucked up here. It would make no difference to the ability of the Conservatives to form a majority government. Yeah? Do tell... Remember the Scottish MPs would have no say on matters in terms of the negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yeah? Do tell... You do understand what a majority government is dont you? You might want to think a little more about this before you lose the last vestiges of credibility that you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 You got trolled into investing thousands in Northern Rock then bragged about it with said troll/fantasist. Please never refer to anyone else on here as stupid. In conclusion, sit doon. I thought it was that Clyde fan Fast Action that hasn't posted here in ages who invested big bucks in Northern Rock?

H_B Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 And actually, the purchase of Northern Rock shares was a great move. I was absolutely right to buy them and could have sold them at a profit. I just held onto them too long as I didn't foresee the global credit crunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I thought it was that Clyde fan Fast Action that hasn't posted here in ages who invested big bucks in Northern Rock? I invested £2.5 K. I actually thought it was only a grand, but it was nearly 1000 shares, not nearly £1000. Apologies Sodje - I stand corrected over the "thousands" part, technically. Fast Action invested tens of thousands. But then that might have been chump change for him - who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Did you dabble then? Yes. could only get my paws on a couple of grand in time That was a good price. We should come on in a few weeks time and share our good news stories. That will be a joy for everyone to read - a bit like reading the parable of the lucky git. In fairness to us all, we didn't follow the usual gamblers forum trick of coming along 2 weeks after the event and saying "Look what I won". We did tell people. Hopefully a good few will have shared in the wealth! I like no lose gambles! Brassest neck of all time http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php/topic/65352-panic-merchants/ Cracking read for anyone who's not seen it. The bit where the guy talks about his "boring afternoon" of investing £75k is the best bit, gets me every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Maybe it was a boring afternoon? For some people I'm sure investing 75K is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banterman86 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Would it? Anas Sarwar, Ian Davidson MP etc have been elected to represent their constituents at Westminster, just as Stewart Hosie has. If Scotland votes to leave the Westminster system, Anas and Ian have absolutely no right to represent people in Glasgow in the negotiations. I'm obviously joking about SNP politicians being on both sides because it's absolutely absurd. As is what you've just posted. You think it;s absurd for Scottish MPs to negotiate for Scotland in this scenario because they were elected to Westminster? i don't undersatnd that. It's about who they represent surely?

HardyBamboo Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm confused here - are you saying MPs could only be on the UK side? Surely scottish MPs would be negotiating on behalf of Scotland in this scenario? i believe I've seen Salmond say he would want former first ministers and Secreaties of state negotiationg, so you could see, for example, Henry mcLiesh and Jim Murphy alongside Salmond and sturgeon negotitaiong for Scotland? likewise, SNP MP's could be on that team - indeed there's a good case for Angus Robertson, as the defence spokesperson? Jim Murphy? Are you drunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about who they represent surely? It's not that hard to understand. It's about who they represent surely? SNP MPs vote as elected members of Parliament on issues that effect the UK, Marco Biagi isn't restricted to voting on Edinburgh issues - he votes on Scottish devolved matters, Croatian MEP Zdravka Bušić can claim he represents Glasgow. It clearly isn't about who the negotiators represent at that moment. I reiterate, I don't actually want Stewart Hosie negotiating for Whitehall. It's an absurdity, as Anas Sarwar or Mike Crockart negotiating for Scotland would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Cameron throwing in the more powers stuff now. Panic in the air as the vote gets closer. As predicted it was a huge mistake not putting a 3rd option on the ballot paper. Cameron's "blinder" is now Cameron's panic. He's even talking about a pan unionist agreement for more powers in a jam tomorrow promise on more powers. The days leading up to the Edinburgh Agreement was full of arrogance and over confidence that they would win the referendum vote hands down. Some were even questioning whether Salmond would hold a referendum at all because he had no chance of winning it. Official Campaign period starts at the end of this month. As opposed to milk and honey tomorrow. Both sides are bloody appalling imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
