Craig Herbertson Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 A little bit of me would like Hearts to be the only club to sneakily get accepted into the EPL just to annoy the ugly sisters. Realistically, I would very much like Blair to go away. I believe he claimed to be a Newcastle fan during some stage managed head tennis while touting for head of the FA.

Tynecastlesmychurch Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The only thing I want from English football is a bit of the money they get.

It honestly surprised me that they didn't try to pull that stunt last time, It only shows the contempt that these arseholes hold us in. Independence, Naw but here's a shiny bauble .

Nookie Bear Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 3 hours ago, Hearts_fan said: It's absolutely absurd and insulting to suggest that yet another part of Scottish culture should be subsumed by England. I'm sick of my nation being diminished and diluted by a neighbouring nation. When will this shite end? I know the answer, and I can't wait to see it happen. I understand but, as long as Scots throw their cash at Sky Sports and spend their days discussing “their” EPL teams it will never change. Scots are willingly diminished by English football, I’m afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scots are willingly diminished by English football, I’m afraid. I completely agree. I’d go further and say some Scots are willingly diminished by England full stop. And that’s not even a bold statement – it’s clear and undeniably the case. That willingness to be diminished and subjugated by a different nation is deeply engrained in people's psyche. So much so that the idea of destroying the culture of Scottish football in return for a pot of gold is seen as completely insignificant and unimportant.

To be a region of northern England, that’s what many of them seem to want. I recently had a conversation with a Scots unionist, who claimed that independence supporters have hijacked the Saltire. I mean, come on. She said it’s her flag too. I suggested to her that if she supports the union, her very own saltire is in the union flag, hidden, diminished at the back. Very symbolic.

Smoked-Glass Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) The absolute clearest and best set up is as follows. . Scotland to remain in the uk. (2014 referendum majority) . The UK to leave the EU. (2016 referendum majority) . The UK to be similar to Norway, Sweden and Iceland This outcome ties in with the majority of votes in the recent referendums, allbeit only by about 55%.

At least Scotland will be in a good position for our children to provide domestic servants to the London City State which will quickly develop after we leave the EU. Just to clarify - the Norway option WOULD allow free trade deals if it is was single market access only. The customs union aspect is overblown and the Irish border could easily be solved if the exit deal contained full agreements on agrifoods across Ireland, which actually happens now as Ireland as a whole is treated as one veterinary zone. Other goods could go through normal customs labelling and could easily be inspected away from border posts, meaning no need for a "hard" border. Single market and customs union access is "Norway plus". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just stick to what we normally do at any election that is , to count the people who actually voted as we don't know what those who didn't vote would have voted so: NO 2,001,926 55.30 YES 1,617,989 44.70 so I am sure even you would agree very close. I know lots of friends/family who want an independent Scotland but believed the scare mongers before the vote telling them lies such as that they would loose their pension etc etc and so voted No. They won't be fooled again. Many other Scots who do not consider themselves anything but Scottish also believed the 'pledge' and decided to vote No. The only demographic to vote No was the over 65s. This, I am sure, was the elderly worried about their pensions. My mother, 85 at the time, a nationalist, voted No for this very reason. Next time Yes will win. It took two votes to win devolution and it will take two votes to win self-determination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
