I remember him talking about the No vote should not be taken triumphantly and that it was a No vote with responsibility to understand Scotland nearly chose to be a separate state. I actually thought, fair enough. That's a fair comment. Accept the result and it's upto people show a strong Scottish voice in the union. Completely irrelevant now they've decided they don't need to win any arguments for 30/40 years regardless of Scottish opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very difficult now for the Tories to back down. It puts a vote somewhere into the distance, which is exactly what you want if independence by large majority (97 Parliament levels) is the goal. Obviously the swing side is the main vehicle, the SNP, will eventually become naturally unpopular and what the Tories are banking on. In some ways, it's made independence more likely but only in the long term. I'd rather win independence with over 55% of the vote than on 51%. Most younger people think it's normal to support independence. It's not like rejecting a vote stops the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, what she will or won't do about indy2 is largely irrelevant as she'll never get near having a say. Labour are so far behind in England - and gone in Scotland - that they're probably 3 leaders away from carrying influence. The only exception to that is whether the election of someone who thinks like that might tip more labour voters towards favouring an indy2 stance. Debatable - old Foulkes is not for turning anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 That Rebecca (dont know her full name) leading at the first stage of Labour leadership's good news given she said she wouldn't block indyref2. I mean, she won’t get the power anyway because there’s zero chance Labour win an election with her as leader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. This is the woman who doesn't know how to write her own name. She recently dropped the use of the hyphen in her surname - no doubt because some people still see hyphenated names as posh and that's not the market she's aiming for. A journalist asked her about it and she said that her name shouldn't be hyphenated. Then it was pointed out to her that she had hyphenated her name on her own Twitter account and then she backtracked to say that actually her name should have a hyphen in it. All I can say if t nationalists are reduced to hoping that Rebecca Long-Bailey will become Labour Leader and offer a second Scottish Independence Referendum they must be unbelievably desperate. I also had a wee chuckle at Alyn Smith having a go at Boris Johnson on Question Time tonight claiming Johnson isn't to be trusted because he promises everything. Everything except Indy Ref 2 apparently. And then he had the cheek to claim he is a "friend of England". What a fanny! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 In Scotlnd you have a choice, you are either pro Indy or your not, there is no middle ground. Fannies like Leanord and wee Willie Rennie are not an option unless you get one in a lucky bag. It's a straight shoot out between Tories and SNP now. Yoons either stop lying to themselves and accept the right wing pro xenophobic Tory britnat view or accept the I like internationalism which willnae happen unless Scotland is free option. Too many red tories are fucking up our freedom. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
