...or maybe it's just a few borderline cranks on the internet on a fitba board that shouldn't be taken too seriously rather than Scotland's answer to Kristallnacht.

Aye, you could argue that, which is fair enough. 

However it's a larger movement than that. Take the protests outside the BBC offices in Glasgow a few years ago as the Nationalist movement tried to intimidate workers at broadcasting company because it didn't give them the kind of fawning coverage that they wanted; their demands, that were met, for a BBC Scotland channel that no-one watches; and their processions through our cities and towns designed to threaten, menace and intimidate fellow Scots using mobilization tactics akin to the old flying pickets from the 1980s. 

When dealing with Nationalists political debate isn't possible. Instead they want to shout at, threaten and barrack all political opposition. They don't respect democracy in any way shape or form.

The Guardian?!? The Yella Brigade?!? Really?

[BFTD]

Astonishing that some folk still appear to believe that Malksoft Kink is in any way serious about anything they post.

S/he must be wondering how far they have to go before the penny drops. Fat Salmon caused the Holocaust? Wee Jimmy Krankie eats English babies? Nothing's off the table at this point; get wired right in, you beautiful maniac

Just as desperate I'm afraid. 

The Tories will win with a substantial majority on Thursday.

Malky doesn't believe in facts.

He believes that a vote for a unionist party in a Westminster or Holyrood election is equal to a vote against independence, even thogh polling shows that around 50% of Labour voters would vote "Yes" in Indyref 2.

He's delusional.

Although I tend to agree with you on this.

He did reply to me once that he was prepared to change his mind if facts were put to him to debunk his point.

Hopefully he will see this as one, and that the "Once in a generation" argument was the view of one person and not in any policy or official statement from the SNP, so he will not use it again.

If he does, he is just confirming your point.

The SNP kills Scottish babies - that much is true. Their inability to manage the Scottish NHS effectively proves that. 

[BFTD]

That's not going to do it, Oakie - you're going to have to push a bit further.

If we vote No, Scotland stands still. A once in a generation opportunity to follow a different path, and choose a new and better direction for our nation, is lost. Decisions about Scotland would remain in the hands of others

Hopefully you will apply the same logic and apologise.

The Tories have woken up to the fact that there are millions of stupid people out there who are easily influenced by social media.

Removing the right to vote from anyone who watches ‘reality TV’ might seem a bit extreme but it is far better that the dystopian alternative.

Yes, everybody who votes differently from you is stupid. Typical line trotted out by the SNP Loyal.

I think you’ll find the Reality-TV-watching ‘easily influenced by social media’ RIGHT FOR THE STUDENTS Dark Fruits drinking demographic are mainly Labour voters, with a sprinkle of SNP in there. None of these kind vote Tory, so if you want to cut them off then that’s your very uneducated opinion.

That isn't a pledge or a policy statement.

[LongTimeLurker]

A simple skills testing question like "What is the square root of 9?" with a box provided for the answer should be added to the ballot paper and only votes with the correct answer should count.

You’re ruling out 70% of Labour voters right there. At least by including them we can pretend we have a contest.

Fair enough Malky.

However there have been fundamental changes since then and the UK has a completely different set up and outlook.

‘Crickets’

 

 

I don’t think there’s been a post by myself that hasn’t been angrily responded to with personal insults by the SNP Loyal. You being the latest despite pretending you’re ‘ignoring’. All absolutely rattled at the thought of a Tory majority on the 13th.

 

Thanks for playing anyway.

 

That is one (wildly inaccurate) way of looking at it, I suppose. 

I'm fully expecting a Conservative majority aye. Which is very disappointing for reasons that are a lot more serious than your cries for attention on here.

This thread is like a nature documentary [emoji23][emoji23]. It's kind of intriguing but sad at the same time.

Well yes, that is exactly the way to look at it. You just carry on with your ‘ignoring’ that has included two replies in little over an hour.
