Ad Lib Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Osborne's article isn't talking to Scotland; it's talking to Conservative Ministers and advisers. Understand the intended audience and you understand the message. What he's saying is "You're fucked. All you've got left is to refuse a referendum and play for time." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was talking to ministers and advisers then perhaps he should have wrote a private letter. His audience was.... everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct but it's naive to exclude the impact his open letter to his chums will have up here. Now, perhaps he simply doesn't care about that impact - and that in itself is telling. I suspect that the line Osborne is pushing is very much aligned to how the poor man's Trump is thinking anyway. So there really needs to be a Plan B which also needs to be held back until after the elections in May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The boundaries of Generation X has changed since I was a kid. There's no way I'd have been considered GenX back in the Eighties, but it looks like I just about make the cutoff by the current definition. Thank f**k; I'm way too old to be a Millennial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
