Might be a bit bother down holyrood later as I passed no long ago and SNP folk on one side and handful of others with union jacks on other side of the road 

There generally is when the unionist knuckle draggers come out to 'celebrate' their momentous victories. 

 

See George Square 2014.

The BBC has just estimated the pro leave side at 300! 

 

Mind you, it is chilly and Edinburgh is a Unionist city.

That's enough to shout "mandate" in the eyes of the SNP

Au contraire. The ERG and the Brexit headbangers were around in 2014. They'd been around since 1974. 

 

Call me Dave knew he'd have to address them and deal with it. 

He didn't dream up the Brexit referendum on hogmanay 2015. 

 

Like all the other 'project fear' bullshit of 2014 it dissolves on contact with scrutiny. 

Yes the ERG mob were around in 2014 - but there was no groundswell of opinion in the leadup to Indyref that their minority position would get anywhere.    The commitment to hold the EU ref only came into being in Cameron's manifesto for the 2015 GE, and then only if a renegotiation on freedom of movement couldn't be achieved.

 

You can blame "Project Fear" all you like, but the EU ref result showed that a "Project Fear" can be overcome if a majority of an electorate vote against it (the electorate being the whole of the UK) - that should give some comfort to uber-Nats like yourself, no ?

I don’t know a single person who voted with staying in the EU on their mind. It’s a myth made up to try and justify another vote. 

Literally thousands of polish, Hungarians who now call Scotland their home did.

It was a central plank of the last referendum. The only way to stay in the EU was to stay in the UK.

 

Trotted out by Dave, Milliband, Broon, Clegg and all the branch office bods as nauseum. 

 

It's not a myth then is it?

 

Not like you to be on the wrong side of it Dazo 😂


You’re putting fires out all over the place buddy. 😂

 

If it’s you saying I’m on the wrong side then I’m probably doing okay Thor. 😊

Today was an important day for the future of Scotland. A referendum next October would have been a narrow No. a referendum in 4/5 years will be a resounding Aye. Slowly slowly catchy monkey 👍🏻

Nicola Sturgeon saying she is not giving up on democracy.

 

I genuinely don't think there is a word to describe that level of irony.

That's because there is no word .

Because it is not ironic.

It's stupid to think that devolution was not framed to stop independence.

Not a flag waver at all.

 

Democracy is asking the people what they want.

 

They did.

 

She didn't like it.

 

But says she won't give up on democracy.

On a thread about independence and after today's decision on constitutional matters, then aye. It's irrelevant. 

 

Take it to your echo chamber thread where you can work yourself up on the minge issue.

The Lord Advocate has come out of this well tbh. She was right to tell Sturgeon that the proposed bill related to a reserved matter, and held her ground. Fair play.

I genuinely must be missing something. 

 

Folk on the news keep saying "they keep saying we are in a voluntary union..."

 

We voted to stay in the ****ing union. Why is that so difficult to understand?

 

Just because you didn't get what you wanted you can't call it undemocratic.

If it's not what little thorboy wanted to read, it's irrelevant. 

If it's not what SNP want, it's shoe horned.

If it's not Peter Murrell's idea, it's not democracy.

Them's the rules. You must have realised that by now.

It's because the political principles on which the SNP relies, is that this is a voluntary Union.

 

Of course it's not, as the today's ruling and readinh of the Scotland Act has proved.

Okay?

 

So had it been a yes vote, and the SNP did something that the No Voters of years previous didn't like, would there be another chance for a referendum to re-join the Union?

 

Or does it only work one way?

 

I amen't trying to come across as argumentative, or pro either side btw. And in all honesty alot of it goes right over my head as it is a complex situation and politics is just a mess for me to get my head around.

 

I just wish the division and arguments to and fro year on year would piss off and my attitude towards it is, she asked - they answered.

For the sake of balance they went out and interviewed people in Glasgow, one of the only two cities in Scotland to vote Yes. I wonder what kind of responses they would have got if they'd interviewed people on the streets of Edinburgh, Perth, Aberdeen or Inverness.

They interviewed a guy in the street, sounded like an Aberdeen accent, who caledl Sturgeon the clown of a first minister.

I'm surprised that they showed it

Oh you're  card! 

 

At least you've managed to differentiate between your Mundells and your Murrells. 

 

It adds a brevity to the relentless pish you post.

If Glasgow want to toddle off and become their own sovereign nation then good luck to them. They can take Dundee with them. I'd wager the number of people who're fed up of this same bullshit argument between two sets of complete bores would stand up against numbers from either side.

Fair enough mate, but it’s not going to go away. Too many people want a better and fairer Scotland — and the best way to have that is to govern ourselves.

 

The Tories have been in government at Westminster most of my life and I can’t get my head around why anyone would want them a second longer. And this version of the Tories is the worst yet — lying, corrupt shower of sh!t. They don’t give a **** about Scotland, or Wales, or Northern Ireland, or the north of England for that matter.

Forget 2014 though. I mind the lyric in the song talking about losing referendums right enough.

 

Didn't convince enough of your countrymen then and the current clown isn't doing enough to now.  It's been open goal after open goal to do so.
