Blootoon87 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 No no no. There are plenty of regions in England that haven't been tainted by the evil separatist agenda. They must be allowed to stay in the UK. Partition of England is the only answer.Morris dancing gonks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indy movement certainly needs a reset, a reset which now looks like a brutal awakening sometime later this year or next when it can no longer believe the ‘referendum is coming’ myth. But above all we need a reset of political leadership. Tories are Tories – they will enrich the rich and impoverish the poor as certain as day follows night. Shy of independence only structural change in Scotland can insulate us from this. They’re Tories so this financial settlement was inevitable. What wasn’t inevitable was the seven wasted years that left us as vulnerable to this as we ever were. Glueing ourselves to London’s economic doctrine was a choice made by Sturgeon and Forbes. It is they and they alone who must answer for how we are weaker after seven years of their rule than we were before they got ‘started’. But a larger price will be paid for all of this. It is time for each of us to take a minute to think carefully about what that price should be and who should pay it. https://robinmcalpine.org/now-a-price-will-be-paid/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth840 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Ok, this referendum that is happening, because it has been guaranteed by by our First Minister herself in 2023, has anyone thought about the campaign and how we should go about it? Or are we about to repeat the mistakes of 2014 again. I think we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need it explained to you yet again that we UDI and the entire world respects our government's decision, while Westminster thinks, "drat, they've called our bluff, there's nothing we can do"? Wonder what's kicked off this weekend's "...and another thing!" multi-post meltdown. If my computer time was this limited, I'd be playing Doom, personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson Park Boy Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Just watched the interviews with Ian Duncan and Alex Salmond on the BBC and how interesting and articulate these two were. What a difference from the usual dullards of Scottish politics who are usually wheeled on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure after your initial uniformed post and subsequent Google search you will see that we can borrow significantly more than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The never ending slavers about the ability to borrow for specific capital expenditures but not day to day spend. There’s an underlying point. A country that does not have full financial autonomy will never be able to determine its own future. Certain craven creatures are quite happy with this state of affairs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmond was very good, and made several excellent points as to how we should proceed towards Indyref2.

Yes- D Ross and most of the SNP ministers are hopeless. Politically, I am totally opposed to Salmond but, as a political communicator he is streets ahead of Nicola and the rest. Duncan, who I don’t know much about, was articulate and honest in his views. Made a welcome change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
