Any SNP MP's who are elected to Westminster are not going down there to settle in, they're going down to settle up.

Erm? Come again?
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.
Bar tab?

I had drifted away from this forum due to the blatant (and boring) trolling from Piratelassie. Here we go again, more utter tosh from the Pirate Soapbox. Yawn!!!
Now that's the sort of rhetoric that shows the less savoury underbelly of Nationalism.
One would then ask once you've finished settling up with Westminster would those who voted No be next on the list to be settled up with.
That sort of comment would no doubt be frowned upon by Nicola Sturgeon and any right minded politician.
You do your cause no favours.
I'd also add I thought Nicola Sturgeon presented her case very well last night so seeing your remark dismays me.
Whilst I do agree with you, we have to accept that political commentary irresponsibility works both ways. Today we have a UK broadsheet with headlines referring to Nicola Sturgeon as 'The Most Dangerous Woman in Britain'.
So it is a matter of scale. Piratelassie put a crass post on an anonymous message forum where only a limited number of people will view it but this newspaper will be read by millions.

Not often I agree with you rheg but I would much prefer that the parties each produced a manifesto that was in some way binding and the statistics for the economy, population, nhs where produced somewhere where the public could easily disseminate the information and weigh and consider the pros and cons of each party.
As opposed to the current media led scrum which is entirely based upon maximising sales or pumping up viewing figures.
I found today's Sky news lead almost amusing but somewhat perturbing with the claim Nicola Sturgeon secretly wants the David Cameron to win.
Initially it seems comical to make such a claim but there would be no better party to win for the SNP as it would just add more fuel to their already well burning fire of anti Westminster rhetoric.
If labour win and there is even an ad hoc agreement with the SNP then it would be a lot harder for them to distance themselves from anything the public dislikes happening in the next five years.
So a Conservative majority in England and an SNP majority in Scotland would suit them and allow the further blame games to continue.
Neither is really a suitable solution for the running of a country.
It's a claim that has been rigourously denied but as of yet not thoroughly discredited.
Allegedly it's been written by a civil servant somewhere.
It wouldn't be the first time an MP has said something they didn't think would become public domain.
The standard form on this type of embarrassment is to deny, deny, deny until the evidence appears then they become objects of public derision.
That statement would apply to all parties.
Time you lot opened your eyes..piratelassie you need to grow up..life is not about one liners..the true intent of which is as of yet unknown.
I'm fed up of Scotland being Westminster's cash cow.
How do you work that out, 53 million in England and 5 million in Scotland. I know people say more are paid per population then south, but still would not be as much tax collected then south, so Scotland get's good deal. Remember Holyrood south get's nothing from that.

Nice to know SNP promote and encourage SCotland as having a diverse pluralistic society !
This is awful:
Meanwhile, the shadow foreign secretary's niece Emily Benn demanded a retraction from SNP MP George Kerevan over a "deeply offensive" tweet claiming her grandfather, left-wing stalwart Tony Benn, "must be turning in his grave" over his son's pro-war stance.
