Loondave1 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 These all being fringe figures, 2 of whom were vocally disowned by yes in 2014, and nobody listens to Jim now after he campaigned for leave.The problem No has is mainstream figures who should have known better were too pally with to the bone racists. If you have examples of that from the Yes side, post them here. I can't think of any.No. Most were kept at arms length to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make them walk about a muddy field for an hour if they think their point is so serious. Why should we indulge these incels and and squander valuable police resources? Plus their 'choons' are bound to be shite. I actually jos'd in real life reading this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the image of independence that absolutely resonates with me funnily enough. Well your head is full of bigotry, so it's hardly surprising tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely fine Loondave - not a bigoted bone in your body, just a shame that you're anti Nicola Sturgeon, anti SNP and vehemently anti Independence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that you're not bigoted. I do sometimes wonder all the same how you've arrived at the views and the conclusions you've formed. Would it be out of order for me to ask if you are Scottish born and bred? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 March went past our flat in Woodlands a couple of hours ago. Took about a half hour to eventually subside so fair play it must be an alright turnout. Enjoyed some of the home-designed flags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for editing that - it make a little more sense now! I have developed a good understanding of what bigotry means since coming to live in N.W England. Always when you hear someone start a sentence with : "I'm not racist but....... " You just know a bigoted or racist comment is about to follow. You do hear that one uttered fairly frequently. Another one I seem to hear quite often is : " I don't like him as a person" I don't even know what that means.

ForzaDundee Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 BBC reporting 30-35k which does seem small. Not that it matters though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organisers say over 100,000. Who knows? The London public vote march was called a million, a firm of "experts" called it around 300,000. Until everyone's got a chip in their head and has to say if they're on the march or shopping the BBC will always get it wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loondave1 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 No idea what, "sectarian based unionism" is. Is this a phrase you just made up?I occasionally get accused of bigotry being the cause of my scepticism about Indy. I presume it's some sort of "sectarian" bigotry the accusers are implying fuels my support of the Union. It's incorrect and the phrase "sectarian based Unionism" was as close as I could get to what I believe was being implied. So yes I probably did make it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is that if it is one or one million marched is neither her nor there. As Mao Zedong said a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. We are as one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The secessionist and ballkanisers love to label folk. This is why you were queried about your Scottish credentials. I have even been called a bigot on here so it's part of being outside of their pathetic cult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
