Pans Jambo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just home and some sneaky barsteward has put a conservative campaign flyer through the door. If I had been in at the time I would have suggested somewhere else they could insert it. Anyway, the lad is Lachlan Bruce who looks like a fat Harry Potter (As a tory he should be ashamed having a surname like that) and his key election policies are: Oppose the building of new houses (because obviously, we dont need any) Protect local GP's, Schools and local services (whilst his masters in Westminster are doing well...the opposite) Extend the car park in Longniddry train station (not against that but not really a vote winner) And lastly, more express buses from Longniddry & Port Seton to Edinburgh! Well, I know who I wont be voting for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sturgeon's FAILURE in Spain: Trip to gain EU single market support given short shrift. NICOLA Sturgeon?s SNP has failed to win friends in Spain after a trip to garner support for Scotland going it alone in the EU single market. The party?s Europe spokesman Stephen Gethins travelled to Madrid to tell Spanish MPs Scotland?s bid to keep single market status was very different from Catalonia?s independence claims. He also wanted to give reassurances the SNP will remain neutral on Catalan independence. The SNP fears Spain would block an independent Scotland?s application to join the EU in case it gave encouragement to its own pro-independence movements in Catalonia and the Basque Country. Nicola Sturgeon sent Stephen Gethins to Madrid but he was given short shrift by the Spaniards And it appears willing to turn its back on the Catalans in exchange for Spanish backing in Brussels. But Mr Gethins trip to Spain was hardly a roaring success. He met centre-left Socialist and far-left Podemos MPs but no one from Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy?s conservative Popular Party was free to talk, Politico reported. Only three journalists showed up to a press conference he had arranged after his meetings in congress. Unfortunately for the SNP, the Scottish question is a non-issue in Spain where Gibraltar is a far more pressing concern. The Spanish priority is to make sure no part of the UK gets special treatment from the EU during the Brexit negotiations because one of the Catalan separatists? claims is that they will be able to leave Spain without leaving the EU. Spain dislikes any secessionist movement and does not even acknowledge Kosovo as an independent country. So it highly likely that Madrid would opposes EU membership for an independent Scotland should it ever break from the UK. And given that one reason independence is rising up the agenda back in Britain is that 62 per cent of Scots backed staying in the EU in last June?s referendum, Spanish opposition to the SNP?s cause will be problematic back in Edinburgh. It follows Spanish MEP Maite Pagazaurtunduam leading a crusade against Catalonian independence. Spanish representatives branded the break away "illegal". She said: ?I hope that they are not received as usual by European Parliament leaders, given the lies they have told through pure propaganda to get there. "They have lied even about their own record, since they are ministers of a country that does not exist. It is very absurd.? Scotland's no chance of getting into or staying in the EU if Scotland ever had the misfortune to vote for independence. Sturgeon kept that visit to Spain quiet Sent home to think again! Can you explain why that makes you happy? Take Sturgeon out of the equation here? You're absolutely overjoyed that Spain have told your nation to get tae....forgive me for never being able to understand that point of view. Fecking weird like. Scotland not being in the EU is one reason id actually vote Yes again tbh. If you're wanting independence then anything other than full Indy isn't worth it for me.

Er keep up... my post was about if that trend of voting SNP CONTINUES. Maybe you can list some MSP SNP expenses claims and who at the same time list what SNP MSP voted to cut disabled peoples benefits... actually dont bother , you are to lazy. You just dont get it do you or do or you think that cutting disabled peoples benefits is something to be proud off as a Tory voter. As for your pathetic attempt to label me with Spacey because of one post reeks of trolling but you new that anyway. Your sheer lack of not being able to grasp the content and meaning of my post is in its self hilarious, surely it was not that difficult to see that my post was about what party out side Labour up here "continues" to benefit from the Tories down south. What alternative to English Tory austerity do you imagine is gaining more support up here because of May and her sociopaths.. Your attempt at generalising my post to fit your Spacey point sees to be your Nemesis here. Name one non Tory MP who voted for cutting disabled peoples benefits and who at the same time claimed such extravagant expenses claims that me and you pay for through out taxes after all. I have every right to be anger with such MPs who engage in such practises. Just for future references i have never made the claim that other parties MPs out side the Tories have never had extravagant expenses claims but you new that too.
