jimmer Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Come on Scotland. No more of these shit English politicians. Enough is enough. Join us in Aberdeen... We have all had enough of these English charlatans ruling Scotland. Here in Aberdeen we have their little helpers in the shape of a shambolic minority Labour council. Their leader – Barney Crockett continues to fly the Union Jack from the Townhouse to show his undying support for this corruption of our democratic right. I would urge the good people of Scotland to join the All Under One Banner / Yes March here in Aberdeen on Saturday 17th August starting at Albyn Place 1.30pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean this All Under One Banner? https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/indy-group-cash-row-founder-18788456 I wouldn't trust them to run a bath never mind a country! Imagine anyone at All Under One Banner accusing anyone else of corruption this week of all weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to bother turning up for this. But now that I know they'll be some strong anti-english sentiments i'll be marching right up there with my tartan gear and saltire.

A bit like the morons who voted for Brexit when are you gonnae collect the prize you claim to have won? I see all these people who voted no to independence but none of them are actually shouting for what they were promised.

I see all these people who voted no to independence but none of them are actually shouting for what they were promised. Is it ok to completely lie to the electorate and then just say "we had a vote"? I've been around for a fair wee while on this planet and one of the things I've learned that may perhaps surprise you is that ALL politicians lie. There hasn't been a single election whether regional or national that was won without a huge amount of bullshit being involved in the campaign. Anyone with any sense treats politicians and political parties with a huge amount of scepticism. My life is pretty good currently. My wife and I have good jobs; we're reasonably well paid; own a nice house; enjoy cheap interest rates on the small amount left on our mortgage; and all of our kids working in good gainful employment. I know things aren't perfect in the world but as far as I can things are as good as they have been in my lifetime for the majority of the country - in the world even! The principle I vote on is simple. I know what I have got with things as they are so unless change is going to bring clear benefits I'll vote for what we've got. I didn't believe claims that the oil price would soar to record levels to make us all rich as the SNP had claimed in their White Paper. I didn't believe their White Paper to be fully costed, and I couldn't believe that having been given a blank sheet of paper to change anything they want about the countries infrastructure and benefits system that they've spent most of my lifetime complaining about the best they could come up with is that everything would be the same, except we'll all be richer thanks to the oil. The case for change was not convincing, it felt like it was being sold by snake oil salesmen who couldn't be trusted (SNP) to gullible fools who were incapable of listening to both sides of an argument and who instead wanted to shout down any opposition at all. To that extent my "prize" and I suspect that for the majority of Scots who voted No in 2014 is that we have remained in the most successful political union in the history of the world. A political union that benefited a bankrupt post Darien Scotland and elevated our nation and our people to be amongst the richest, most respected and most powerful in the world. A political union that has continued to ensure fiscal and economic stability in Scotland in the five years since. I've been claiming my prize all my life and will continue to do so for at least "a generation". Brexit is a tragedy in my opinion but only the Scottish Nationalists could see the hassle the thought of a hard border in Ireland could cause and think "We'll have some of that" here! You'll not be surprised to hear I also voted to remain. Edited July 30, 2019 by Malky3 -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Those at the bottom should try harder and get real jobs." Like it or not, any new independence campaign has to win the argument with people like that and not disregard them as ‘shitebags’ or ‘yoons’ or whatever (ignoring malky’s greatest ever union pish). Plenty people who live comfortable lives and for better or worse feel entitled to look after their own situation when they vote.

Frank Quitely Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 You can add in Allan Sutherland and Jill Stephenson. These letters are then shared on SiU, United against Scotland and other loon pages. This from Martin Redfern for example: PS why did you change your name? Please do not forget Dr Gerald Edwards of Glasgow, Dennis Forbes Grattan of Aberdeen and the redoubtable Alexander McKay of Edinburgh.The spooky thing about these people of the Kilt Right is that although their bile features regularly, it can only represent a fraction of their obsessive output. Fair play to their stamina, especially considering they all walk on their knees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Unionist Twitter is full of mentalists too - some genuinely certifiable characters on there. My favourites are the ones who complain that the "nats" are obsessed with flags whilst having little union flags all over their display names/bios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
