And nothing in Scotland can be improved without independence? Not one thing? Three that I believe to be among the most important (there are many more, probably at least 50...) 1) Immediate vote on full Proportional Representation. No point having a post-independent Scotland if we do not represent the people properly and fairly. If this results in consensus politics and rainbow coalitions which move away from cult-of-personality/slogan-based politics and a combative, jeering house, all the better. 2) Legalise all drugs, use the taxation to pay for getting help on the streets (in the same way boots on the street helped to reduce knife crime in Glasgow). Clean drugs will reduce loss of life as will help to kick them, decriminalisation and state control of distribution will clean up a huge swathe of crime related to drugs. 3) Immediate application to rejoin the EU.

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 2 hours ago, Lone Striker said: There's loads of things in Scotland that need improving though. More affordable housing, more NHS staff, more police, better funding for essential council services, etc There's a concerning disconnect between the SG and the Scottish voters currently - the SG say they're constrained by Westminster funding rules, yet seem determined to avoid raising more taxes from Scottish businesses and people, imo for political reasons. Keep blaming devolution. In an independent Scotland, would we (the voters) not expect to pay more tax in order to achieve these better outcomes ? I would, and would gladly pay more tax if I could see a SG with radical ambition to improve the country. Take the FoH analogy. Whats the point of moaning that Hearts don't have enough money to compete at the top end of the league when we (the fans) have got the means of giving extra funding voluntarily to the club ? If Hearts came out and said they were looking for funding to build our own training facility, most fans would gladly contribute if they could afford to. For me, I love Scotland and would take the same view if it was to help advance our country. 3 hours ago, Taffin said: That wasn't the question. You surely know the top things you want improved that Westminster are preventing? If we ever get it I think you're in for a shock. You won't wake up the morning after with a magic panacea pill. 3 hours ago, I P Knightley said: This, in my opinion, is why the leave campaign failed. Everything was vague and tried to appeal to vague notions of national pride without saying "X doesn't work within the current set up but we'll be able to do Y". The nonsense chat about an independent Scotland's currency illustrated this perfectly: "We'll keep Sterling" (Bank of England), "Eh, hud oan a minute, we need to talk." "We'll have the Euro"; (ECB), "Sorry, were you talking to us?" To veer back on topic, it's similar to the Tories 'pledges' to "level up"; there's nothing to illustrate what levelling up would look like. We won't know whether it's happened or not when a Tory tells us they've done a good job with it. No business would be run this way (successfully and sustainably) but we're prepared to put up with it from the people making the most important decisions about our lives and livelihoods? In my opinion we're better off if Scottish politicians make decisions for Scotland. Home county MPs, northern English MPs, Welsh MPs and Irish MPs won't.

WorldChampions1902 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Breaking news. MI5 today warns Westminster MP’s of a Chinese spy who has been cultivating relationships with U.K. politicians. BBC news then shows photograph of the alleged spy alongside Jeremy Corbyn. Then goes on to say Barry Gardiner (Labour MP) accepted £400k over a number of years for research purposes. What a lovely distraction from Clownshoes Garden Party scandal, whilst smearing the opposition. Which is exactly why MI5 chose to reveal this news now (they have known about this for years but chose this moment to release this news). Democracy?

They are not offended. Suggesting that their ethnic group or others such as yourself are offended on thier behalf is strange to me. There have always been people who identified with their oppressors mostly because they had no realistic choice. Calling some of our unionist commentators uncle Toms is often a compliment. They are not oppressed in the way he was but many on here think it acceptable to characterise their fellow Scots as despicable, feckless, subsidy junkies and are prepared to distort the truth to support their views. Uncle Tom just wants to go down the route of least resistance as i understand it. We have been divided along these lines since we were bought and sold some think it's a good idea to play the system, i don't. I want to see us stand on our own two feet. I expect somebody mentioned that to uncle Tom as well Giving people a vote does not cure societies ills nor does it absolve those wrongdoers of the past. I presume that's what keys to the cell means.

I reckon you could’ve put Robin Cook or John Smith in charge of the branch office up here and they’d get ragdolled. Shown up time and again that they have absolutely zero influence and nobody gives a shiny shite about what they’re saying or doing in this most powerful devolved administration in the world Theyll do what they’re telt.
