Ignore the mistakes but keep voting no matter what. For many (myself included) voting SNP is a means to an end, I do get exasperated with some of the mistakes, as you describe them, but then I see D Ross trying to defend the CC decision when HE was trumpeting "Good news is coming" while on BBC Good Morning Scotland... And I am content to continue voting SNP 1 and Alba 2 in any future elections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I reckon they fight so hard to keep scotland is because they’re afraid England will see us shed the royals and all these lords and other tossers and then the English people will look and think oh we’d like a bit of that as well. England will always be ruled by wankers (well we all will) unless we grow a set. The only place anything interesting has happened politics wise in Britain for decades is up here and they’re fighting to keep it the way its always been. For the ones born to rule.

Exactly. They don't care about Scotland which is quite obvious to most people. Look at the state of Gordon Brown for instance. He just contorts himself to berate his country of birth. Blair's another one. Boris Johnson loathes Scottish people and his smirking idiocy is the sign of some sort of deranged personality disorder!

That would get rid of the so called " chip on our shoulder!" We have intelligent people in Scotland and I think we would readjust quickly and generally find more commonality. It would be easier to accept the majority of what party people voted for and that we could vote them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are happy to be part of the UK and accept the decisions of the party voted in by the majority of UK voters, whether they agree with the party in power or not because they are happy to be considered British.

Oh ffs, not again.🤣🤣 Yes, yeah, sure, course it is. Really impressive that magic, elastic money that we raise in Scotland. £66bn raised here stretches to a budget of £91bn and, apparently, would you believe it, covers furlough, capital expenditure from the UK on upgrading arterial roads and other infrastructure projects. It would have stretched even further had the Scot Gov not rejected YET MORE UK funding in freeports. Refusing the funding and calling them "Green"ports in a nod to their Marxist colleagues in Govt and their core vote in Kerrydale St.🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
