Has he broadcast any National Action court cases yet, or does he just stick to Muslims. 

 

 

His agenda is pretty much solely the threat of Islamic rule

And the Scottish will do the same with the UK. 2019.

 

Good luck to the OP tomorrow, you'll need it. If you could slap the Britain first/SDL knob head who is always in the audience for me, that would be great.

ri Alban is Nick McGriffin but he is our Nick McGriffin.  I'd be lying if I said I never had a soft spot for the wee scamp.

 

Really? I find him poisonous and distasteful. 

 

Thankfully tho, the more people are exposed to his type the more harm he does to the very cause he so desperately and aggressively supports.

Add contradictory to that list too.

 

Agree though. His rather simplistic views on Scottish Independence do make me more inclined to stay part of the Union.

i already have one question regarding food labeling. however im stuck on another relevant question to ask. I dont want it to go to waste as this program is viewed by millions. i want it to be substantial.

i already have a safe one. (mentioning the failings of the SNP by continually pushing for a indyref2 and neglecting the day job)

however i want a better one than that.

 

so over to you fine specimens. 

what do you think i should ask. 

Not enough  's in the world for that.

It's funny, but I always prefer to base my voting on a party's policies and my confidence in them being able to deliver them - or, in the case of a referendum, which decision I think will be best for my country and its people - rather than being influenced either way by some random on a football website. Maybe that's just me being eccentric however.

Quite right. 

 

How did the abolition of the council tax go? 

[robroy1874]

Why do the SNP believe that they will have more control over Scotland's destiny and economy as a member of the European Union rather than as part of the UK?

The arselicking and obsession of Palestine from the left is quite possibly the most nauseating thing I have ever known.  Truly tragic.  They wave the flag and take this quite remarkably bizarre moral high ground.  Utterly baffling.  It is up there with ‘LGBT for Islam’ for me.

Never been banned, the point is legitimate as EU nationals were banned from euref. And will be banned from Indyref2. 

So answer the fecking question. Were your wee feelings hurt when your Britnazi party banned EU citizens from the Euref. 

So in your scenario, someone like me who has lived in Scotland for 35 years, paid god knows how much in tax, has two Scottish children, a Scottish wife etc etc doesn’t get a vote simply because I was born in England?  

[Roxy Hearts]

If the media supported independence we would  be independent. Simple really. It's in favour of the Union and that's why the pros and cons are diluted, not discussed or portrayed as inept. 

 

People support the union for a mixture of reasons and fair enough but for heavens sake you gave to agree the independence movement has to suffer real ignorance from all elements outwith their support.

I will continue to vote NO to save Scotland from that kind of thinking. At least it is diluted in a UK environment and people who think like that are marginalised.

Britain never put up a fight to keep scotland in the Union.  Scotland put up a fight for scotland to remain in the Union. 90% of Britiain never had the slightest say.

 

 

 

The British media (newspapers in particular)  seemed to make a concerted effort to get Scotland to vote no. As did British politicians (Westminster English MPs) as far as I could see?

I didn't get a vote in Indyref despite having been born in Scotland and brought up here and paid taxes etc just because I moved to England to find work int he Thatcher years.

 

However , I agree they hve tomake a decision on that and stick to it and residency seems fairest

Correct. Sigh, you have to wonder why because we are skint and something wrong with our education, seemingly. Don't cha just love the equal partnership and share of 2 trillion debt.

Ask: It's now 4yrs since the referendum, is the SNP now able to answer, in detail,  the basic questions they were asked by the electorate during the campaign. Questions such as; What will the currency be? What will be our level of UK debt? Will we be able to join the EU with high levels of debt?

The Scottish Sun supported Independence and still supports the Nats (perhaps not as strongly as at the referendum) but the Sun in the rest of the country was very much opposed to independence. Apparently it caused a lot of issues internally. As for other papers the Glasgow Herald was pro independence as far as I could tell but the others seemed to be all pro Union. If you thought the papers and politicians were trying to get us to vote to leave the Union then it's because of the awful job they did trying to save the Union.

The self determination movement is more than just the snp. Quite why anyone would want another country to be responsible for its decisions is always a strange one to me... oh wait that’s because we are too wee , too stupid. It’s time people got up off their knees and stood up for themselves. Stop blaming everything on the tories and red tories and make our own decisions.

I would be interested to see if the SNP would publicly back a people's vote in the event of an independence vote to decide on accepting the settlement - currency, debt, etc.  Nicola publicly requested one for Brexit, so I assume she would not object to the people having an option to remain if the terms were not favourable post independence?

 

No, she didn't.  She said that the SNP would back one if one was called, but didn't actually call for one.

 

Quote from BBC

 

SNP MPs would back a new Brexit referendum if it were put to them, party leader Nicola Sturgeon has said.

[Herbert.]

What I find intresting is people that want independence welcome immigrants/refugees  with open arms. I'm pro independence but the only ones we should let in are those with skills we need or with the means to support themselves while they search for work. I was at Tesco at Queensferry last night and it was a Romanian/Bulgarian  selling the big issue. When I walk along the high street its Romanians that are begging we have enough homeless,wasters, junkies beggers and scroungers to deal with without importing them. Why should we burden ourselves with other countries problems when we have people that cant feed themselves. People that milk the system take money from our pockets. We should be independent but we shouldn't just bend over to the EU. The SNP are backing themselves into a corner of being too liberal and its going to get to the stage they are seen as a joke just as UKIP were seen as a joke for being too hardline. We need a putin type in charge that will make unpopular choices like hitting the rich with higher tex and chasing big companies for tax and stop letting them get away with tax dodges to get the economy moving again,to give the country a lift and tell trump to butt out . The Westminster government don't care about Scotland that much is clear, Donald Trump has more of say in British politics than Scotland.
