This ain’t the way to win a referendum No but it ain’t the way to lose it either.

Dunfermline Don Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 We should just begin negotiating with Westminster now.With the current foreign secretary’s geographical knowledge we would probably be able to claim everything north of Hadrians Wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would reckon it will still be around 45-45 with 10% undecided. Tbf most people asked the question during the Covid period won't give two hoots either way. On the point of the SNP not setting out any detail in 2014 (they did with the 659 page White Paper unlike the fag packet which was Brexit (although tbf it was never meant to win just to position Johnson as the next best Tory leadership candidate for the gammons when they lost))/ As for the detail this time...they have, although it is the depressing Andrew Wilson prospectus of a harsh first decade experience of slashing public services in order to appease big business.(whom the SNP have always been very keen to cosy up to).

Holyrood needs to be taken in to 'special measures' based on the monumental f**k up it's making of the devolved basics of education, transport, health and local government.

Our public services (and quality of life in general) in Scotland are far superior to down South. The devolved governments have done a no bad job.........but independence will improve things dramatically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you like to distance yourself from the idiots that suggest Scotland couldn't ring our own town. You'll remember the idiotic few that tried that line in 2014! I believe the Daily Express still try in from time to time! I distance myself from the 'too small; too poor' idiots. That is clearly not the case. Scotland is clearly a great part of Britain with wealth and resources that most can only dream of. I am firmly in the 'too stupid' camp, though. We've had a 15 year preview of iJock and it is bloody. With a Barnett premium of £2,000 pppa ScotGov has Scandi levels of support but with Botswana levels of service delivery. The collective 'you' had a chance to make Scotland better. You had the budget to deliver. In the big devolved areas of health, education, transport and local government you have turned everything to shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland - as a whole - has gone rapidly downhill since Salmond decided, in 2007, that pushing partition was more important than good governance.And you have deduced this whilst living outwith the country for 30 years with only the occasional "day trip" as you just described it. Wow that's some powers of perception. No one has a clue how a country actually functions that doesn't actually live there, not one iota. You have as much idea how life functions in my town as I do yours, Bath, Manchester or Timbuktu but somehow you seem to know in minute detail how Scotland does through "occasional day trips". What a total roaster you continually prove to be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 No better than the English talk radio DJ's who claim some kind of kinship and pontificate at length on their deep insider knowledge and understanding of Scotland because they once went on a holiday to Girvan in 1973. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, wearing a HazMat suit must complicate the wearing of a bowler hat and a sash, but HazMat are probably working on that. As long as the suit has pockets for their Bass Drum Mallet Drumsticks*, they'll be fine. (* Yes, I had to google what they're called . I didn't think "drumsticks" would convey what I meant!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
