I think in her head she's a beautiful Georgian heroine at threat from the Jacobites, all heaving bosom and corset. Sadly for her, reality does not bear this out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, it's almost as if the SNP or the wider movement for Scottish independence isn't based on ethnic nationalism. I genuinely think effie deans has serious problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Effie Deans has the theory that Scotland isn't a country because a country is independent and Scotland isn't independent so it isn't a country. Batshit mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 "Effie Deans" is, I guess, to be thanked for illustrating perfectly that the dewy-eyed romantics obsessed with the past (whatever the cost to the future) are not Scottish Nationalists. Next time you are accused of being a Braveheart-viewing romantic who has a narrow, blinkered view of Scotland, point the accuser to Effie Deans. If you want a laugh, look up her name on Amazon. She has written and self-published a book called "An Indyref Romance", and the plot summary under the product description is laugh-out-loud embarrassing: In Aberdeen a few months before the Scottish independence referendum, Jenny just wants to get on with her studies. But she finds herself falling unexpectedly in love with Paul. This for the first time makes the debate real for her as she discovers that they have very different views about Scotland’s future and much else besides. They must discover a new way to dance together, learning a form of music which may yet allow them to find harmony in apparent dissonance. As they grow closer, the distance between their political views increases. No longer able to avoid the debate Jenny secretly agrees to help her friend and tutor, Effie Deans, campaign for Britain. Can her love for Paul survive their disagreement and can they forgive each other for being different? Here is an inside account of what it was like during the campaign, but politics in the end becomes incidental to the story of a couple who must learn to share a new way of listening not only to the music they discover together, but above all, to each other. Jenny’s journey will take her to Russia and, finally, back to the Aberdeenshire home of Effie Deans on the night of the referendum. Can Paul and Jenny find unity even in victory and defeat? Theirs is Scotland’s story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cream Cheese Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 That one article comment. And the lesson of this is never attack any of the Cultees or they will attack you with their computers!! Thank goodness the nanny state, controlling SNP are now going to be cut down to size. Who was it? TCK? McSpreader? RedRob72? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
