GBJambo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It will be interesting to see the effect of snp supporters calling no voters quislings and various nasty sweary words and wishing terrible things on the elderly voters who they felt were responsible it may come back to bite snp in this election. Never seen this level of abuse and intimidation that you get if you don't agree to their way of thinking. Scotland is heading down a dark road.

GBJambo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Salmond caught taking credit for policies that were implemented by Labour and the Lib Dems. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/general-election-2015/11575445/Alex-Salmond-accused-of-telling-voters-blatant-untruths.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobmisterdobster Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Personally, anyone who actively chases the support of the Sun and Murdoch is an idiot. Salmond has done so for years as do the SNP in general. A scummy rag of a paper. Why Blair bothered his arse with it I don't know, but he's long gone. Best thing that happened to Labour and the press was the Sun ditching it's support under Brown and Miliband going after them over phone hacking. And like it or not, the SNP are as much in the pockets of their own business backers as anyone else. Souter has some frankly repulsive social views and McColl dodges tax in Monaco. As they are effectively some of the top men in the business community in Scotland and the party is exclusively Scottish based, you can't deny they too are under the grip of elements of the Scottish business community. Salmond change tact on bus regulation because of Souter and his business tax plans were effectively written by McColl. Gordon Brown was very good friends with Murdoch. http://www.conservativehome.com/leftwatch/2011/07/which-british-politician-has-rupert-murdoch-met-most.html Miliband has kept his mouth shut about phone hacking because he seeks the support of the Mirror. Westminster and London City Hall are in the pockets of Arab and Russian billionaires who's countries have human rights issues. If you are worried about one man's views on gay marriage then stick to your principles and boycott Virgin Trains and his other companies. He has not influenced the Scottish Government's social policies in any way. I can't help but laugh at the bus regulation issue. It's meant to be a smoking gun but it's so quaint. Is this the most evil thing the SNP has ever done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Just five days to save the union." Now that the two main Unionist parties have discovered that there's such a thing as a Union (and what a shock it seems to have come as over the last couple of years), it's great to see them riding to its rescue so often. Maybe we can even hope for another Missionary Train over the next few days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Palmer Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It appears to be the case that those obsessed with independence are those that voted No in the referendum. Quite funny to watch. There's been shocking levels of anti-Scottish rhetoric in this election campaign regardless if you may be a Labour/Tory/Lib Dem voter in Scotland you'll leeching off the rest. Is it any wonder that people in Scotland might feel like sending a big **** YOU then to Westminster. Doesn't mean people want independence, it means they're fed up.They'll probably get fed up of the SNP at some point and boot them out of Holyrood. Westminster is falling to bits anyway, let's save even more money by not repairing it, punt the Lords out on their arse (is it ?300 a day that they get?) and an English Parliament in York (or somewhere similarly central). Chuck a Senate in London and Her Majesty can still reign o'er me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Peston has made some good points on this subject on the BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32549892 Not sure I agree with what Peston says about bank regulation though. The FSA were constantly tightening regulation on the banks and financial services institutions, I know because I was in the industry having to keep up with all the new regulations. I also remember that during this time, Osborne and his supporters spent all their time calling for LESS regulation. Just goes to show you get some R Soles who come on here and spout the Tory rubbish about overspending when they don't know what they're talking about. Labour certainly could have been tighter on banks but the Tories wanted even looser controls. I hope certain people are suitably embarrassed and a little more humble.

The Tories get first go but they won;t have either enough seats of their own nor enough buddies who have enough seats to make any kind of majority. Labour, SNP, Plaid, Greens and others will vote them down. They're doomed. Labour then get a go. If Eddy keeps to his word and cuts the SNP out of any deals, then he doesn't get their votes. This also means he won't have enough pals to form a majority. Then it'll be back to the polling booth for us all. If Sillyband actually wants to be PM, then he'll do deals for votes. His party will demand it of him and remove him if he keeps playing hardball with the SNP as their sets will be needed (whether it's 59 or a more realistic 30ish).

I believe the House of Stuart was replaced by the (German) Hanovarians in 1714 after Queen Anne died childless due to the terms in the 1701 Act of Settlement (passed after England threatened a trade embargo of Scotland in the Alien Act of 1705) But aye, all the royals in the whole of europe are so inbred that they can claim ancestry to almost any house or any king or queen you can name.

They weren't replaced, just that the line was continued at the earliest possible non-catholic. George was a great grandson of James VI and I, as was Anne (well, she was a great-granddaughter). Boris' point that they were more scottish than english still holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
