But that was forever rammed home has being an overwhelming mandate for out. Sick of reading this pish constantly from unionists. It’s as if they don’t understand how elections work. It doesn’t matter if only 10% of the electorate vote, the majority vote wins. People who don’t vote, don’t count - simple. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 On a related topic. Now I’m certainly no conspiracy theorist but I’m a little sceptical of the 72% turnout for the brexit vote and even more so for the 85% independence referendum turnout in 2014. I reckon there’s at least 25%-30% of the population who won’t vote, can’t vote, couldn’t give a f**k to vote, don’t even know it’s happening, junkies, jakies, nutters etc etc. My family and my wife’s family who are all reasonably intelligent and kind of interested in politics didn’t even hit those percentages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking filth. Not Nazis though. Not that bad, although I would be in no way surprised if a good number of them 'sympathised' with some Nazi policy. But you're a wee fanny who is making shit up. No one here has compared them to Nazis. I challenge you to find a single post saying as such. There has been as much scum marching in the Orange order as there has been in a lot of these YES marches. Some of the groups involved are vile. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yeah, I don't remember the Orange Order/Nazi comparisons. Ku Klux Klan, sure. The Kincardine was always keen to tell us that the Klan was founded by Scots. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole issue of trivialising the holocaust is also applicable when it is groups you don't like that are being targeted in that way. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15414373.orange-order-refuses-condemn-flute-band-behind-nazi-costume-pics/ An unfortunate coincidence here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These twats need to step away from the keyboard. On the contrary - we need these c***s front and centre of any campaign for the union.

BFTD Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 "THE Orange Order has ignored calls to condemn a flute band behind a fancy dress party that was won by a man and woman dressed as Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun while two children wore rags branded with a yellow star-shaped patch like that which Jewish people were made to wear in Nazi Germany. Images collected from social media also depicted other parties in which members of the Orange Order allegedly dressed as the Pope with a noose tied around his neck while in another two men in Celtic shirts imitated a sex act on a child's doll." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant vote then you aren't included in the potentially 100% also there was no way of escaping noticing the independence referendum taking place on the day of the vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifted from depths of crazed yoonatic Twitter no doubt.....but if it makes you feel better and all that. Yer wee map obviously takes no account for demographic spread. Despite the early bumpkin claims of the forelock tugging simplerati......now the dust has settled, it's clear this election has produced more votes in Scotland for pro indy parties than vice versa. That does not necessarily equate to votes in a referendum but it does corroborate the trend in polling we have been seeing for about the last year now. You are in a minority with yer fellow submissionist dafties pal...get used to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I know more than one die-hard labour voter who would never vote for anyone else but are very pro-independence.
