Confidemus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I love a bet, but the odds still haven't changed much mate despite such a ' resounding win' for AS in last night's shambles of a debate!! Tick tock, Roberto... Also, what is it with No voters and dreadful analogies that have nothing to do with the point? Not aimed at you Rob, just a "while I'm here" moment.

Confidemus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think you may end up disappointed. Yeah, No voters keep telling me that. I'll retain my sunny disposition, if it's all the same with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlandoblue Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, No voters keep telling me that. I'll retain my sunny disposition, if it's all the same with you. Fill yer boots. A no vote wouldn't be bad for you either so don't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Without wanting to start the sames arguments again, I don't think you can make the moral argument while also advocating NATO membership. The financial argument is the easiest one to make against Trident from the SG's current position. From a personal point of view, I don't want Scotland as a member of NATO. i'd be very happy if we pulled out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Substitute slaves for "enemies of america" and this is what the UK government has already allowed to happen with rendition flights. Exactly, which is also abhorrent. The Scottish governent's position on nuclear weapons is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 There are only so many undecideds to go around, and they didn't all decide last night just because Darling was blatantly unable to give an honest answer to any question. If I were a Unionist I'd be shitting myself if the needle moved even a fraction over the course of a day. It's only moving one way. MO - MEN - TUM!!!!

I don't see how iScotland would benefit from Nato membership. I'm not convinced that the UK does either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taza Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Of all the absolute garbage spouted by Yes supporters, this is absolutely the worst, and most obviously ludicrous canard. It actually strengthens Scotland's negotiation position if they have a Plan B they can adopt should they not get what they want. At the moment they would be going in to a negotiation with the other side knowing they are utterly screwed if they don't get a CU. Who exactly does that benefit in a negotiation? The side desperately begging for it, or the side who has the power to grant it or not? Ah but are they? is it not ''with the other side thinking they are utterly screwed...''?

FlyerTon Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Here's one to ponder - tens of thousands of people will not make their annual visit to RAF Leuchars Airshow in a few weeks...why? because the Tories have shut it down, and also shut down RAF Kinloss, Clyde Coastguard... Basically, the Tories can shut down whatever they like in Scotland over say an English base as they know they only have one MP here. Such decisions will not harm them at the UK General Election ballot box.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not aimed at you Rob, just a "while I'm here" moment. I dunno mate, still away at the moment, so only seen the highlights on Sky News, I turned it off after 20 mins night and went down to a local bar, where the wi_fi connection is always sh*te so couldn't even follow the posts coming through on P&B. How that pantomime last night could have swung any DK's though is beyond me.! Said before on here that there should have been a different line up for round 2. But you lads seem happy, so fair enough.

orlandoblue Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The only reason that AS beating AD is being welcomed with such vigour is due to the utter shock that he didn't manage to do it first time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's any of your business, but I have contributed to local foodbanks on many, many occasions. An awful lot of No voters with the word "blue" in their usernames. Funny that.

banana Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I find myself wondering if Obama or any other leader would sit back and let someone else front it if one of his states wanted to leave. The Yankee Way has about as much humour towards "secession" as it does towards black, Muslim communists launching bombs the shape of Babe Ruth into Mount Rushmore. I've had the independence for select US states ("You mean secession?" ) conversation ("You mean secession?" ) with various ("You mean secession?" ) Americans of varied political leanings ("You mean secession?" ) and world views ("You mean secession?" ) over the years and ("You mean secession?" ) the response has always been the same. Need to find me some Texan friends, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
