For Fecks Sake Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 14 hours ago, Just Dandy said: I think it will be like the devolution referendum. They will win the second one. ? I will vote for it. I'm not a huge SNP fan as such, but I think it would be really energising for Scotland, and I'm tired of the tossers we have in government in Westminster. ^ This. Not a fan of the SNP but will vote (again) for independence as while the SNP have held power since 2011 and some of the services that they control are under performing, I would rather Scotland is run by Scottish based parties and people and not the out of touch bunch of wankers in Westminster (all parties included in that statement). Independence may very well be "really energising" as you state, but anyone thinking that the road after gaining Independence is going to be plain sailing and all positive are fucking deluding themselves.

Why do you think such a right wing nationalist country like England want to not be independent ? scots are historically cowards though and we also have plenty thick cunts who think voting for independence us voting for wee nic That's the problem with it. People fundamentally don't understand they've actually got a better chance of getting someone with similar politics to them in an independent Scotland, than they do a Scotland in the UK. 1 1 Link to comment

But I do think independence will come this time . The Tories have been a superb advert for it. Anyone who thinks Scotland can't manage on our own needs 240 volts straight to the napper. Rich in resources and so much of it what country in the world wouldn't want it. And what about Europe that's a huge blow to Scotland and companies large and small. Westminster are panicking and will use every trick in the book to keep us in this union . Here's a guideline. Don't watch the BBC fk them equivalent of RT news .run by a tori e chief executive who gave the Tories over 400k to help fight elections . The unionist press in Scotland come from London and are Westminster government friendly , just look at the front page headlines it's embarrassing. All our media are biased . 1 Link to comment

As usual the same unionists who said EU could not take them to court re the NI protocol and the same unionists who said the Rwanda flights could not be stopped are now telling Scots what they can/cant do. Article 1 of the UN charter says otherwise. 1 Link to comment

Edwin Starr Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 See we are supplying a renewable line from Peterhead to North East England that will feed millions of homes over the border . That Line initially went from Peterhead to Norway and back it is a massive venture . If Norway wasn't doing well we'd give them energy and the same for us.. England can never reach their renewable targets without help from over generous neighbours France feeds London at a huge cost . They also tap into Wales reserves for energy . Link to comment

I just wish the near 500.000 of our over the border friends who live and work here backed independence , sadly around 75% voted no Maybe being out of Europe I'm hoping that will be about 50/50 now. But far too much of them vote Tories . These areas you have mentioned above have a big South of the border influence on voting intentions . Huge numbers live in the West coast .

Have to have been a resident for 10+ years or something. Not fuds who own holiday homes in the highlands or wherever adamant Scottish life is better in the UK cause they like the idea of a flag and a monarchy. Cunts Link to comment

Simply Red Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 A lot easier for a gov to efficiently control and distribute a budget for 5 million people than 70 million.

Very true, but we also have a massive chunk of a population in the central belt who have never worked, will never work and are totally dependent on benefits! We have tourism, whisky, golf, natural resources and more but it also requires a govt who can get the most out of it and spend it wisely.

There is no oil industry in these places. Jobs are hard to come by. If youve grown up in squalor, went to one of the shitest schools in Europe, then aye those folk are totally dependent on benefits.

Im talking about the real dregs of society here, huns mainly, who are unemployable. To a large extent, a product of their environment. Folk who exist in real deprivation. First thing id do is sterilise them all after 2 kids. Not sure the snp would go for that, but that would be a logical first step in addressing the poverty cycle in these areas. And consi, dont start, we’ve discussed this at length in the past, and you agreed i was right. Link to comment

Why would that change if we were independent? Because they wouldn't necessarily be the governing party? The reason they are the governing party is because of the ineptitude of the other options. If you want to vote them out, the best thing for it would be independence. They aren't going anywhere under this current system of devolution. Link to comment
