topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Since 1990 the population of England has increased by 18%. In the same period the population of Scotland has increased by 6%. This causes completely different pressures on services and infrastructure. There is nowhere in Scotland that is comparable to the big urban centres in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. Merseyside’s population fell quite sharply through the ‘90s and hasn’t recovered yet The pattern in Glasgow is similar but not so extreme If your thesis held true we’d expect these places to be particularly peaceful and law abiding while places that are expanding like Edinburgh, Milton Keynes and Cambridge descended into crime ridden hell holes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I’m a “natural unionist”. Voted no in 2014, moved to England the following year, but born and raised in Scotland. Family on both sides of the border and would love nothing more than to see the emergence of an outward looking, forward thinking UK at the heart of European society.Having said that, anyone in a similar train of thought to me who intends to vote no in indyref2, that’s akin to refusing to turn off the life support machine of a relative who’s been in a coma for a while and showing no signs of recovery. If Scotland is to ever be independent I think the yes campaign needs a lot of votes from what I’ll call “pragmatic, gritted teeth yes voters”, people like myself who’d love nothing more than the UK to be in a better position and Scotland to be at the heart of it. If I lived in Scotland right now I’d vote yes and not even think twice about it. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Uh-huh. And?And the rise in police officers was used as a cover to getting rid of a large number of police staff. So historically a copper would get someone in the typing pool to type stuff whilst they went back out and did frontline policing duties. However, now the frontline copper has to type their own stuff so they are indoors more not dealing with crime. The stats show another 1000 coppers though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, with a 42% reduction in crime they'll need something to keep them busy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 And the rise in police officers was used as a cover to getting rid of a large number of police staff.

However, now the frontline copper has to type their own stuff so they are indoors more not dealing with crime. The stats show another 1000 coppers though. Actually, the old method of having typists meant most younger cops who were computer literate were typing out their cases only to have to put them onto a tape for them to be re-typed. That you think cops just put someone in jail and left others to do the paperwork is misguided at best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK is a cabal directed by right wing media barons and voted in by simpletons. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I'm currently domiciled in England, with family on both sides of the border, but I'm prepared to give this undertaking : As soon as a date for Indyref2 is announced I will make sure I am living in, and registered to vote in Scotland on that date. Assuming a win for yes I'll be more than happy to make my move back to Scotland permanent and will look forward to consider myself, not just Scottish, but also a proud European. Britain can go and f**k itself. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like Jamieson and don't dislike Boyd or Sweeney as much as other people but I'm utterly baffled by what bothers them about a literal advert unless it's because they didn't highlight our underclass element with the "f**k off, Ally" masterpiece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I followed Jamieson after seeing him speak really well at a couple of events so I definitely think it's just being a contrarian for contrarian's sake a lot of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
