Boris Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 5 minutes ago, been here before said: What he also said was it's a "myth... which has grown arms and legs".

Adam Murray Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 20 minutes ago, Boris said: According to one poster you quoted, who actually said they didn't recall it. Do you have an opinion on the actual relevance of the "once in a lifetime" statement, in relation to where we are now? Well that one poster, along with saying he didn't recall it, also said it was a myth that had grown arms and legs. We all know it was said, but we also know that it doesn't matter what politicians say today, because you can bet they'll say the opposite tomorrow. I think the statement, as to where we are now, shows the people who are not particularly politically minded, and I put myself into that category, show's that any kind of uncertain break up's from any kind of union is not all that the politicians, from either side, would have you believe.

jack D and coke Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 So because we noted No the U.K. can do whatever the want overruling us whenever they like and we’ve just got to swallow it aye? Bullshit! If the SNP has independence in their manifesto and they get enough votes we have a referendum when we want. Just the same as if we got indy and then a party campaigned to re-join the U.K. If they got the required majority then WE decide. Imagine the EU turned round and said you’ve had your referendum your not having another one Imagine the English unionists frothing and pishing their troosers then.

Old Hearts Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 1 hour ago, jack D and coke said: Imo it’s the other way round. Any thread on this board that has any independence theme gets trolled back to the Stone Age by unionists with literally nothing to say other that antagonise or use childish names for people and they get away with repeatedly. If you react in any way you get a warning and thread banned yet they are allowed to continue trolling. I’ve been reported to mods by a couple of big girls blouses on the indy threads because I called them a fud or something equally trivial. The palpable smell of fear amongst union supporters is....well....smelly imo. There is a big wide world outside of JKB you know. My point was about Scottish Nationalism as a whole in Society. In general, their mantra is you are not Scottish unless you support Scottish Nationalism. Which, in my opinion, is just plain wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gov Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Brexiters lied...as most politicians do however they now have a deal which the house will not approve. simple another vote.... choose a deal which is not even closed to what was promised or vote to remain. if we vote again to remain but the rest of the uk votes to leave then indy will happen and we will become a independent nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always puzzled me that. If people from overseas were allowed to vote in the Independence referendum why was that right not extended to people from overseas who are resident in the UK ?
