Oooh Squidge, you're so funny when you're angry! My criticism stands, as does yours. You live with your version of La La Land, I will with mine. I'm still a bit hacked off with the suggestion re the Union Jack, but as I said, it'll be worth all those "No" votes. And also cheered up plenty to see the acres of coverage Channel 4 news gave to the Portentous Panda's 70 Page "How We Will Win" Docket tonight! That'll be 0 minutes and 0 seconds. Quite right, for a work of fiction in a news bulletin!
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
I'm beginning to see you as a supporter of Radical Independence Rheghead. Am I right?
Perhaps you're only a potential supporter, but you do seem to fit in well with the stated aspirations of their Green wing.

Lol Im not angry Macademia - Im just baffled as to why you live in Scotland and you are happy for a UK wide news channel to completely ignore issues affecting Scotland. Im not surprised like - see Flynns comments above but why would you not want developments in this debate covered.
Squidge - sometimes my fingers type quicker than my brain. I guess I was trying to be a bit clever with that "fiction" remark! My main and only beef was that Channel 4 carried a true audio account of what was being shouted, while the BBC very carefully cut the "Union Jack & where to put it" remark, clearly because to have included it would not have suited their agenda. I'm all for good and wide reporting, but I prefer it accurate in its narrative, not partial. Otherwise, long may the debate continue, preferably without the knuckletrailers - on either side!
Well the question was Would you vote for independence? Yes but it depends on certain criteria. If it was Are going to vote for independence? Then I would say no.
You are right that my green aspirations are fulfilled by their Green wing. So I can see how the green agenda could be firmed up by independence otherwise the greensceptic politics from the south will always hamper any green aspirations in the north. One thing that won't be a part of my voting intention is my own personal circumstances, my vote will definitely be in the interests of my family and for Scotland as a whole.

Although Radical Independence seems to have a Green Wing, my experience of them is of neanderthal socialists from the SSP, Solidarity and a range of other extreme left fruitcakes, most of whom wouldn't be capable of recognising a green agenda if you hit them on the head with it. The RI clowns I've encountered have mostly been dirty, uneducated career scroungers and wasters. They're anti-everything except themselves! I don't think you'd fit in very well there lol!
Getting back to Nigel Porage's followers - aka Oatcakes... They would be a fine match for the hard-left fruitcakes of the Radical Independence Campaign - I'd predict a draw after 5 rounds of hard combat, but I'd hate to be the person charged with clearing up the blood!
I asked this question earlier in the thread and as SIS must have me on ignore he never answered the question - well today I found the answer and it is that you can and this is how it could work.
“An attractive approach in the short term would be to plan the
government’s spending plans on the basis of a cautious forecast of
oil revenues produced by an independent fiscal commission. Then, if
oil revenues exceed the forecasts, the excess could be transferred
into a stabilisation fund.”
Drawing on Scotland’s financial strengths relative to the UK, such an
approach would offer a credible way to ensure predictability in the budget
process and in the setting of policies and spending programmes.

Nigel Porage is a tax dodger, but he's sorry, so that makes it ok - apparently....
Nigel Porage admits offshore tax 'mistake'
hes no got cod eyes or looks like Odd Bodd fa the carry on films - does this mean he can be a leader ? wish all the thugs who go and harass him would go and harass Abu Hamza with as much vigour.....
Nigel has been waist-deep in stale and sticky porage this week. With ladies of ill repute not cleaning spilt oats behind the fridge, and the taxpayer spluttering about coughing up for his friends in bongo bongo land, he surely needs to keep his spirtles under control.
