I’ll take your word that Arlene’s footwear measure’s up on the staunch scale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rider Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The word definitely needs used more and I appreciate your use of it. Arlene had another staunch item on too to match her socks and it wasn't a sash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are SNP supporters anti English as the Unionists media claim or are is this just an opportunity to bash all Scottish Independence supporters and lump them all into one basket just because of a few idiots? Maybe its a bit like the claim that all Unionists are bigots, lumping them all in together as all the same? There is a broad spectrum within opinions on Scottish Independence, but that tiny minority on both sides with polarised views and actions tend to be more active in expressing them to the world than regular folk, feeding the medias obsession in creating even more divide and mistrust. Do Unionists really think SNP supporters are anti English? Most reasonable Unionists wouldn't think so. It's only attention-seeking morons like Kincy, DAF, Glen Minter, Spongeheid etc that seem to genuinely believe this stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but they'd really, really like it to be true. No doubt anti-Englishness is a thing that exists, but the nearest I've come to experiencing it was from a work colleague from Kent who was determined that Scots are terrible xenophobes towards English people. Her evidence was a single occasion where she'd been an outrageous c**t to some of her neighbours, and the word 'English' was included in the list of more legitimate insults thrown her way. Unacceptable, but not quite the massive pwn she seemed to think it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Unionists really think SNP supporters are anti English? All dot-warring aside, and I can see you’re still doing it , I don’t think supporting independence makes one anti-English, nor do I consider most Nats to be anti-English. It’s always better to have reasonable discussion than to label people as anti-whatever, or accuse them of having the latest phobia or ‘ism’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Quite amusing that a National sub-ed has Ruth and Arlene coming up to Scotland "to drum up support" for the Union. Not sure Arlene's presence at an OO march and an unelected Ruth, £300 a day sign in fee, during the huge increase in energy bills will have quite the effect they think. Mind you, if we could harness all the hot air they'll spout... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your opinion of a group of people is predicated entirely on an interaction with one of them, aye, probably fair to say there's something else behind it. Like David Icke disliking the lizard people because Ted Heath threatened him. Give them a chance FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like close friends (and I’m not joking) of mine who take part in Republican ‘marches’ and genuinely attend the AUOB stuff, he actually believes in something. He’s not yer average SNP nugget who has been attracted to the party because it’s pure ‘Scoatish’. Anyway, enough about Kenneth I genuinely think he would win the mid wrestling contest. Unless Trish Stratus was involved, in which case I’d bribe Vince. @Fletcher23@Snafu thoughts? Britain is a country in my eyes that I absolutely love. I am proud to be British. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
