Coburn says the SNP shouldn't upset England as they're Scotland's biggest trading partner. Oh the ironyBoom. Coburn has just tweeted this. UKIP "Scotland" manifesto launch
He think UKIP will win at least 8 seats next year in Holyrood
It's interested he refers to the Scottish Parliament as "Salmond's back yard"
You'd think Coburn wasn't Scottish with some of his wording

I agreed with him because of things I had already seen and read. If I was someone who hadn't decided his behaviour would have not convinced me. It's nothing to do with how he looked, it was his behaviour and attitude. I agree it shouldn't be about image but if someone comes across as quite dismissive and arrogant then you're less likely to listen to themWhich reinforces my point. If the SNP media selection were all ugly, filthy trolls with few teeth and speech impediments, their message would be the same. And they would be just as deserving, or otherwise, of support.
The idea of rating politicians and parties as if this is a fucking talent show is one of those things which has really started to boil my piss in recent years, although it's been niggling me since the days of Michael Foot.
Again just to add, I have not seen him behave like that since and am not overly bothered about it

By you, obviously.
Not, apparently, a view shared by the SNP, who are quite happy for him to continue to make media appearances. That seems to be working quite well so far.
You do realise this is an election campaign, and not the fucking X-Factor, don't you?
I am not one who tends to agree with ecto but in fairness, I saw the time he's talking about and I didn't like Hosie on that occasion even though I agreed with what he was saying. He came across pretty bad. (That was probably the 1st time I'd seen him) He has appeared ok in interviews I've seen since

Some sort of fitness test involving the lifting of pints?Being Christian wouldn't be enough, they'd have to look good resting an elbow on the bar in a blazer and slagging off PC nonsense.

So, care to answer the question I asked earlier. Or does the answer not suit your narrative?The gap is 125
You are full of it , just like your new outfit per day heroine. 25bn raised, given 32bn by Westminster. Oil price down 50%. 7bn to be raised by tax rises and loans by Sturgeon.
Thanks for being a sheep.

7.2bn less than the Barnett formula and with oil 50% down... do the effin math.
And England gets £8,529 per head, almost £2k less. Just think about that and let the cogs turn in your head for a second: they have to pay for higher education fees, prescriptions, their NHS is a far worse state, housing in many areas unobtainable. This is what Sturgeon is going to lead us to. We are getting a good deal from England ffs, better than their people get and they bear the brunt of the migration.
Nice try, but I'll ask again in Simpler terms. How much tax has Scotland paid per head each year lets say for the past 10 years. How much has Wales paid per head each year for the last 10 years. Or even 5 years just to get a flavour of the contribution of each country for a fair comparison.
Just to add - any chance of answering without effing etc or are you incapable of a grown up debate

Is your assumption that everyone who wants a vote is anti EU? That would be a big assumptionBBC poll last week, 6.1 out of 10 want eu vote, over 1000 polled. Only 4.0 give a shit about trident that Sturgeon is pathological about.

And what tax do they each contribute?Wales gets £9709 per head and Scotland £10,152. Those are the figures. Scotland gets more..
Your own ignorance is telling, you're another sheep.

That article doesn't mention an EU vote.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-31800374
Most want immigration reduced and an eu vote, idiot.
And the only threat to the Barnett formula is Sturgeon, not Coburn. She is the anti Scottish candidate, a liar to boot as she won't admit what it will cost ordinary Scots by grabbing fiscal powers and losing the 32 billion from Westminster, her and her party are leading us to ruin.

No I don't think it's the same. I think he was talking politically. I didn't say anything about the bbc.You don't think that's the same thing? Asking why won't someone die isn't the same as wishing they were dead? Seriously?
On the BBC too it was, our state broadcaster, that we pay for. Which is supposed to represent us and be impartial, nobody picked him up about it.
You think if I asked why isn't Cameron dead yet on the BBC there would be no reaction?

I think he said "why won't he die" when Salmond announced he was standing. Not quite the same as saying he wished he was dead.I don't doubt it but can you provide a source so we can see the context?

Aye, we were. It was the one pretending to be her son, Matthew Lewis I think.
Took a while to recognize Sylvestra, she's let her self go a bit. She'd probably say the same to me but.
Nah, she's probably more polite ;-)

I was thinking about the Welsh scenario. It would be very hard economically for Wales to go it alone. However surely that shows the failure of the Union to act in the best interests of all areas. Surely getting Wales to become more prosperous should be a priority rather than a passing thought.
