The_Kincardine Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 3 minutes ago, John Lambies Doos said: If people had told me back in 2015, that by 2020 Eng would be taking the UK out of the EU and that Boris Johnson would be PM I would have pissed myself laughing in disbelief. If they then told be that independence support was only at 50% in Scotland I'd have had them committed. Unbelievable! Eng would be taking the UK out of the EU. Poor show but in 2015? Very likely. and that Boris Johnson would be PM. Another poor show but not surprising. If they then told be that independence support was only at 50% in Scotland. That's about where we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-TON Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 There isn't improved support for Independence since 2014. The latest election just showed that if anything, by looking at the SNP's votes, they are sitting at roughly 45% of the Scottish vote.Most of their party and support are insufferable c***s.The hospitals and schools are in disarray but no, let's hate the English and be bitter forever. Constantly creating division."Keep the light on for us". Naw, they'll be reminiscing about that time you held a referendum to leave Britain AND the EU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they increase VAT like the tories did in 2010, for instance? Did they increase your council tax? Wasn't it frozen while E, W & NI had rises? Are you one of the better off Scottish citizens that didn't get the income tax breaks in 2019? I am, and don't grudge the extra £500 per year I pay. Less than a tenner per week for free prescriptions, kid's education etc? Count me in! Edited January 31, 2020 by lichtgilphead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
git-intae-thum Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Regarding the Indy polling. We are at 50%. Possibly a little more if 16/17 year olds are included. Britain has still not left the EU. Give it time. 60% is definitely achievable within a couple of years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Countries don’t have to be self governed, they have to have a government, which Scotland has. There are many types of countries, a constituent country being one. Scotland is a constituent country as part of the UK. Why are you getting so angry and throwing about personal insults? Are you annoyed that democracy has been fulfilled?No, I'm annoyed that I'm wasting time on yet another thick unionist arsehole.I asked you if Scotland is a nation or a region and in your zeal to diminish Scotland you've stupidly given it an elevated status that it doesn't have.Scotland is a nation and, like every other nation, it has the right to self-determination. No boneheaded unionist can deny that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to back up your claims about schools and hospitals? As far as I was aware, attainment in Highers have seen marked improvement over the past couple years and we have the best performing NHS in the UK, by some distance, actually. We also voted to remain in the EU 62%-38%Thanks for playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malky3 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) The BBC website tonight have helpfully answered one of the questions that was put to me on here earlier. How long is a generation? Quote For humans, an essay for the International Society of Genetic Genealogy seems to have narrowed the length of the average generation down to somewhere in the range of 29 to 34 years. So come back and ask for a referendum in 2043. Edited January 31, 2020 by Malky3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway's oil and gas revenue intake last year was nearly £20 billion. How convenient that the UK Governments oil and gas intake has mysteriously dropped to as low as £600 million for the same year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
