There isn't. So we won't. The quote in that article is telling from Depute SNP Leader Keith Brown: we will invest to grow and not have austerity. But that's not what his party's report says and nor is it what their expert says either. Who says they'll be running the country post indy anyway. Oh and having our country back warts and all, is what it's all for. Scotland will be fine as will England, but not together we won't.

Just look at the utter drivel they put to the nation during the Indy ref, the GE & the Brexit campaign. Complete lies. I’m just going to post anything on here as long as its derogatory about the tories even if it is ‘post truth’ news. Maybe it will have an effect on folk considering believing the hype that the tories keep banging out. Theres a lot of gullible people out there (blatantly) & I’m not here to debate, Just hate ?.

Governor Tarkin Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hey Pans, whilst your hatred in this instance is laudable, I don't think it helps debate in any way to engage in the same figure fiddling and spurious mud-slinging that has become so commonplace. You can't justify it by saying the other lot are at it too. The term 'post-truth' might just seem like a convenient buzz-word to describe the current state of affairs - but just think for a minute about what it actually entails and where it's logical extention may lead us. It's terrifying. Don't be part of the problem.

Lying is what the tories do to influence the tards that vote for them. I'm just joining in to show everyone how absurd it all is! Bad example. He's a hobo supporter! Ian Blackford claims the most on travel but he's the MP for Ross, Skye & Lochaber so that's understandable. He wont be claiming much longer when Scottish MP's no longer need to go down to the cesspit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
