Home rule.

[piratelassie]

John Thurso claim's in the Highland Standard that home rule has been delivered, delivered my arse. If that's his version of home rule then he's spending too much time in London. The only way to get home rule is to rule from home.

He hasn't got the guts to own up to who he is he is lord Thurso and his family once owned about two thirds of Caithness and he and his immediate family have managed to sell off that inheritance (not that I am to bothered about parasites) and if you cant manage to your own house I think he has serious problems asking
people to vote for him
Their will be sheep who will follow the liberal Faithfull as with other parties I feel sorry for you

I don't think you are a born and breed Golach (and do you know what the name means )

Are you trying to say I am not a Caithnessian, and I have no idea what a Golach is?

Gollach a certain % of the population are so extremist that they dont listen nor read, and rae in complete denial that 55% voted no to seperation from the UK !

We all had wishes for the referendum to go one way, or the other. It was decided on which option got the largest number of votes.

I can't think of any other way it should have been decided. I anyone knows better, let's hear about it.

No, they voted against independance.

We weren't allowed to vote on Home Rule by that nice Mr Camoron.

55% voted against Independence, not Home Rule. They are 2 different things. Gordon Brown said that 'the vow' was 'as near as dam it Home Rule'. You have things the wrong way around.

The meaning of Home Rule has changed from Gladstones time when it was independence. Today it means devolving everything except for Defence & foreign affairs, in effect a Federal state without a Senate of the 4 countries.

Well I voted against Idependance and Home Rule, and so did the majority of voters in Scotland.

Ok lets see what the seed you have sowed reaps

Yes 55% of the voting electorate voted against independence BUT a significant proportion of that electorate did so because they were persuaded by the LibLabCon promotion of 'the Vow'. Whether it's 'Devo Max', 'Home Rule', call it what you will, it meant significantly more devolved powers to Holyrood.
The result in September was never going to be as simplistic as you prefer to see it golach.
When just 6% of the 'No' voters realise how they have been duped and lied to there might well be more political agitation; people want change. Whatever your opinion there's no denying politics in the UK is changing; these changes have been instigated by the People of Scotland and are having an effect on Westminster.
These are interesting times.
