George Cowley Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 On 08/03/2023 at 21:30, Highland Capital said: Was just talking to someone there about the last referendum and the question came up about any conservatives (both big and small c) who supported Yes. I remember Peter de Vink the former councillor in Midlothian campaigned for independence and had the largest Yes sign in Scotland on his land or something. He was expelled from the Tories and dropped as a candidate because of his stance despite fundraising for them since the 70s. Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh was another former Tory but she'd left the party years before by the time of the referendum. Were there any others? FFS ( and I’ll be corrrected on the detail no doubt) but Tasmina AS, after her long established legal firm went bust, has stood for (I think, in order) The Lib-dems, Labour, Con, SNP and Alba. A more shameless grifter you could not meet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerevan’s relevance to my post I don’t understand but a quick google says he was Labour/SNP/Alba. Hardly a big ideological stretch post 2010. What’s your point caller? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more shameless grifter you could not meet. She's had more colours than Mo Johnston. She changes her colours that often that it's unsurprising they call her 'the chameleon' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTFD Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Ah, the days when the Scottish Conservative & Unionist party bumph featured more policies than "No to Sturgeon" scribbled a dozen times in crayon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlo Stanfield Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The Scots tories were pinko liberals back then. Abolition of tuition fees, free nursery places = dangerous Marxist agenda imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I give you Credit Suisse, another of those expert voices in 2014. "Our main concern is the uncertainty over currency arrangements for Scotland in the event of independence. " Good for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
