Thread: A Very Dark Future

    Change generally does come eventually, I think. As long as any vote or decision is democratic and clear then I don't have a problem with it. I think an Indy ref 2 is inevitable and it remains to be seen how and when it will take place but I do believe that it is for the Scottish people to decide when it will be.

    Not politics...politicians....trying to ensure they hold onto their cushy number for another term...and another...and another. Politics would be OK if politicians (the professional variety) didn't exist.

    I hear that things aren't too good with Covid Support!
    Perhaps put Referendum on hold and support The People, rather than fight for Indy!
    Common sense thought eh!

    Good idea, why not sit down & read a good book instead.
    How about "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir"

    And the machine is bleeding to death."

    You're correct, the English government are making a right dog's breakfast of it. The latest blunder over the "Track & Trace" app is merely another in a great long list of them. If they would just curtail their superiority complex a tad and not think that they can do everything better than everyone else then they might not have made so many mistakes. This fixation with not doing anything in concert with the EU (purely for reasons of political dogma) or adopting any methods or protocols devised by Mr Jonathan Foreigner has cost lives; thousands of them.

    Holding a referendum and getting Scotland out of this dysfunctional Union is the best way of supporting the Scottish people. Common sense thought eh?

    That's exactly what IndyRef2 would be doing - spending money on the Scottish people to get them out of this iniquitous Union and thus safeguard their future.

    Sounds like a good deal to me!

    Certainly a better deal than the UK got, or will get, with Ł900,000 to paint Boris's personal plane in red white and blue to brand it, when it only costs Ł80,000 to respray a 777...or the 7 times the cost of a referendum being piddled against a wall on a duff track and trace system!

    Methinks you would get a great deal more support for your endeavours, if you put the health of the Scots ahead Of A Ref., and ’personal agendas’!

    Well the irony of that cheered me up no end. That has been the guiding principle of the UK since 1707 - with one minor alteration:-

    "In times of great need, pull your resources!"

    That has always been the way of things in the UK. Wealth, knowledge, skill all get funnelled down the pipe that leads to greater wealth for the SE of England.

    The government in Westminster doesn't give a toss about any aspect of the Scottish people's lives so I am not going to be scolded by you for having a personal agenda.

    Corky...
    Is the word PULL in Your context saying the Opposite of my POOL!
    Scolding it is not...Suggesting it is!

    And I just read the BBC news.......Fifteen news stories mostly Anti Trump, In their headlines this morning.
    Nothing negative in the UK.
    Theory... make the US and all Countries look bad, except Britain!

    What I am saying, is spend the referendum Money on The Poor People who are suffering thru the Worst Crises since the 30’s and 40’s.
    Then go to the Polls with your Ref.......and why Do u call it Indy ref?

    Unionists say "Pooling and Sharing". The reality is Pulling and Sharing

    Nice to see that reality is dawning and you agree that the BBC is biased. OK, you are talking anti-Trump bias but ask any "Yes" supporter and they will be able to give you endless examples of anti-independence reporting by the BBC. Prof. John Robertson, late of UWS, published extensively on the matter. His work is easily found online if you wish to explore it further but you might find this interesting.


    Both Oddquine and I have attempted, on several occasions, to explain to you why the Scottish government is able to allocate public money to fund IndyRef2. If you are worried about "The Poor People", as you call them, I imagine you are delighted by the fact that the Scottish Government has spent millions upon millions of pounds mitigating the effects of Tory austerity over the last decade - see here. Any suggestion that the Scottish Government has not done its best to help vulnerable people through this period is, frankly, laughable.


    I'm not sure what your issue is with calling it IndyRef. Perhaps you could explain further.

    Quickly. ‘Indy’ reflects The Indianapolis 500. That is a car race/World famous/ to which I have been several times!

    I have no ‘Delight’ in what any Gov’t is doing, but taking money out of the Poor People’s pockets. Or if u prefer.....Their POCKADS....
    I am attempting to show u that the Millions being saved for IndyRef2/3/4., would be better spent getting the Virus samples to be tested.. Its not happening in time, and many more Faux paws being set upon Scotland!
    The SNP has the money/ save the people first!
    Just my opinion of course! Objectivity is more clearly seen from the outside! Some famous person said that......Oh, that was moi!

    Sorry, but I'm not even going to bother with the comment on the use of "Indy". It's just silly.

    You don't seem to be getting it, so for the last time; this is not money that has been saved by anyone. It is money, allocated for a purpose, for which the public have given their consent. Nor is it SNP money. The SNP are a political party, who for the time being, hold a majority in the Scottish parliament and therefore form the Scottish Government. Any funds required for IndyRef2 would not come from SNP funds but from public funds as has previously been explained numerous times.

    Objectivity may be "more clearly seen from the outside" but only if the beholder is aware of all the facts.

    IndyRef? So if it’s silly, why are you and the Scots using it!
    PUBLIC FUNDS it is then.......Use it to help the PUBLIC! These are the people who are suffering!
    In times of great need, people stick together/help each other with THE PUBLIC MONEY. Don’t u understand.
    I don't think you can even convince yursell!

    Can anyone on here advise why you are using a ‘silly name’? Too funny!

    Who is this Horseman? He/she seems to be way off on another planet. He/she doesn't appear to have any experience of living the same lives as the majority of the people of Scotland. 'Indy500' - what has that got to do with anything?

    It is a shorthand method of saying Independence Referendum. How thick are you that you couln't work that out for yourself?
