BFTD Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Imaginary paramilitary groups, made-up death threats, tragic accusations that the Holocaust is about to be re-enacted in Scotland... It's all going on in here. This thread pisses all over Coronation Street or EastEnders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC90 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 In that poll, under 49s break 65/35 for yes. And their children will also break for yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The elderly are a bunch of dribbling morons, who believe everything the bbc and daily mail tells them. The voting trends are only heading one way, I just hope a few of the old fuckers are still around when they eventually see their beloved union die. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it when the auld yins say "What's the world coming to?" when they see some bad press on the news.

The same could quite easily happen today if the modern restraints on governments weren't in place as a result of historic atrocities.

renton Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Place holding speech from Sturgeon there. No real forward momentum. I see Stu Campbell has well and truly spat the dummy, seems to believe that there is a chance of changing the leadership in April. Must be some rumours floating around, any one any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Think it’s becoming apparent that Sturgeon had been banking on a Corbyn minority government to negotiate a referendum largely contingent on the outcome of the 2021 Holyrood elections. They look rudderless now that they’re having to try and negotiate with a hard-right Tory government which is never going to be moved by any democratic mandate, and will probably pull shenanigans to avoid any court ruling which may go against them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree with how he put his point across but I do generally find that 'elderly' folk are far happier to pick up a newspaper or watch the news oblivious to the fact there's usually an agenda at hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 17 hours ago, DAFC. said: Doesn’t make for good reading for Manky and Kinky. It makes great reading, in truth. Especially since Scotland has an ageing population. So if we do have indyref2 in a decade then more voters will be in the aged 65+ category than now. Oh or maybe you think that the under 55s will stick with the Natters and that the next plebiscite will really be won by The Grim Reaper. Not so. As people age they tend to develop sense* and have learned through experience that political innovation is really just the same old shit dressed up as new shit. So demographics will work in our favour - as long as everything else stays the same. The big game-changer isn't, though, the age profile of Scottish voters but is the economic performance of the UK post Brexit. If our economy tanks then expect a big change of view amongst middle-aged, middle-class, naturally conservative, resistant to change brigade. So maybe 25% of voters see independence as a principle whatever the outcome and 25% of voters see saving the union as key irrespective of economics. However, the result of the next referendum will be decided not on principle or rhetoric but on the value of the pound in your pocket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
