Antlion Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Just now, Kuro said: Northern Ireland? Lol There is no positive cause, they've had eight years to make one, and nobody has ever put one forward. Northern Ireland isn’t a country and never has been - and it’s already the rump of a country which was in a union and left, so it’s not in a position to be making a case for being incorporated into a unitary state. However, the NI situation does seem to appeal to Scottish Britnats to such an extent they’ve even borrowed the term “unionist” from the loyalists over there. Presumably the idea of being a staunch province like Northern Ireland appeals very much to them. So, Northern Ireland not counting (even to English Britnats; apparently), we’re still no closer to any countries on earth seeking the kind of union that we’re told is so amazing that if it didn’t exist Scotland would be begging for it*. *Cf David the toilet floor licker Mundell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to carry on talking with yourselves now. "I can't make a positive case right now. But believe me when I tell you that they would all suddenly become apparent if Scotland ever makes the disastrous decision to run it's own affairs. Just vote NO" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loondave1 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 [emoji38] Sorry. Country.Apologies I'm just toying with you. No I can't think of any examples but that doesn't mean they improved fiscally which is my main concern. I think Scotland would find its income didn't match it's aspirations fairly quickly. I'm saying no more though or wee Kuro will jump in with his abysmal patter. Once again apologies for the "whoosh" moments.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why the UK and it's lack of aspirations is economically broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I'm not aware of anyone proposing Scotland should be an isolationist, agrarian, theocracy. ROI's GDP per capita is substantially in excess of ours so I'd say it's a pretty good example of the benefits of independence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Absolutely shocked to see Loondave, when asked to present a positive case for the union, spend half a dozen posts mumbling some shite about being too wee, too poor and echo chambers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
