Ziggy Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I met Henning Wehn at the Edinburgh Festival one year, the conversation moved on to football and he described Robert Lewandowski as ‘just a fat Kenny Miller’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Andrew Wilson pissing on the SNP membership from on high in the Spectator. £5.3 billion a year to London is the cost of (kid on) independence apparently. At least Starmer is elected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote for parties that will borrow to improve services and provide jobs in the process. If you can't find a party that will do that in the UK in a timescale of relevance to you and your family, vote for independence. Vote for a party that is wholly based in Scotland and does not have a member in the undemocratic unelected House of Lords. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found it particularly amusing when Yoons argue that Scotland is a mess, therefore we need to stay in the Union. Talk about cognitive dissonance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Planning to pay off the debt is insane. The UK is never going to pay off the capital so why should an independent Scotland? Richard Murphy has written about this. Unless the rUK government plans to pay off the capital rather than refinancing in perpetuity neither should Scotland. Andrew Wilson is putting the interests of his Charlotte Street clients who want access to sterling ahead of any other interests presumably with the blessing of Nicola and Murrell. It's pathetic how complacent SNP supporters are about this. It can't be fixed later. Wilson's plan is the kind of shit Argentina and Greece have had forced on them by international institutions which has crippled them. The difference here is no one is forcing us to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the analysis of Joyce and the poetry that fucked me for months I simply do not care but also just couldn't skip it cause I hate doing that. I really need to start reading it again cause I know I'll batter through it. Like you I battered through at least 3 of them in less than a fortnight each cause they're so readable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shakespeare/Library chapter was my favourite section of Ulysses so I enjoyed all that. The bits about Rembrandt and Paul Celan were some of my favourite bits of the earlier books as well. I'm obviously a big fan of the snout and coffee parts too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's that the digressions are enormous in this case whereas they're generally refined the others. I know that's an MP though. 43 minutes ago, Genuine Hibs Fan said: A mate lent me part 1 of Knausgaard the other week after raving about it months ago and I cannot wait to get tore in about it The opening of book one is tremendous. After that it does take some much getting used to the vibe but after book one I ripped through books 2-5 with ease. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
