  1. Scotland had its say and voted not to be a country ever again in 1707.
    Seriously, I don't know why anyone would engage at this point. The excuses have been gradually whittled away down to the point that we're at the GIF below.
    They've disappeared down the same fascist hole as the Republicans in the States - "if my values aren't popular enough, democracy can take a hike".

    In fairness only 10% voted back in 1707. The hard working peasants were not allowed. It was the 10% of Tartan gonks (forefathers of our current rugby support) that made the decision
  2. Beirne getting away with murder on the Irish line again there. Hands on the floor on his first go, then hits the 9, then dives on the ball at the side of the ruck.
    Safe to say the NZ public won't be changing their opinion of Wayne Barnes tonight!
    No he wasn't. Stop being so salty. I ain't a fan of irish rugby..but that was well deserved.
    Bierne was magnificent, and Barnes was fine.
  3. I see Laura Kuenssberg is stepping down from her role as the BBC's Political Editor to join the Today programme.
    Didn't realise things had got so bad for her safety that she needed a bodyguard to attend the autumn party conference.

    It looked like she had been looking for a way out for a while, being an open supporter of Boris Johnson and his leadership of the Conservative Party must have stung when the Party Gate scandal surfaced in the media. I would not be surprised if she already knew about it back in 2020 and wasn't pleased but kept quiet. She did become a critic of Boris Johnson once the whole picture emerged into the public view. Imagine having your head so far up someones arse and then having a moment of clarity realising this could affect your career too.
    Her bias during the independence ref was stark. Good riddance
  4. I've finally been released of my residual inferiority complex that has been driven into my highland sensibility.
    These candidates aren't big beasts, none of them are of a calibre that I can admire as a leader. 
    Look im obvious biased, I am a nationalist and hate the torys. But that aside, these people were just dreadful. With the exception of sunik none of these people could string a coherent verbal sentence together; it was just plain dreadful
  5. What's quote interesting is that each candidate are falling over themselves to be as Conservative as possible and for some, that means essentially lying to fellow conservatives about their true beliefs. They all bang on about tax cuts, yet are part of a government thst has continued to increase them. Mordant previously had a view on Trans that is more aligned to the general population, but has rolled back into line with the rest so as to appeal to the base.
    Each time we have this mid term changing of the guard, we end up with candidates having to become more extreme.
    Given we haven't had a PM who has taken up his/her role via a GE and left via a GE in 50 years, do we need a change in the rules/convension on changing PM? [emoji848] 
    No rules need to be changed. Just get us out of this shit show and let them wallow in their undemocratic failed state.
  6. Sunak is the least unhinged of all the candidates, if only because he has just been in the Treasury and therefore knows that the ludicrous tax promises made by others are not plausible. The arguments that corporation or income tax need to be slashed could not be more idiotic.
    We really need Sunak to win and to then get eviscerated for his principal role in literally everything since 2019. 
    No we don't, we want the most incompetent arsehole winning, I'm thinking of bigger picture
  7. Scotland, England, NI and Wales are indeed countries, but so is the UK.  Again, look up the definition.
    One main parliament for the whole country, with an MP elected for each constituency, so no democratic deficit. The second chamber really isn’t really a big deal.
    There’s absolutely no barrier to stop working class people getting involved in politics.  Neil Findlay was a brickie and he managed it, despite not going to Eton or having a nanny.
    Actually, only Scotland and England are countries. Wales is a principality, and NI a province
