  1. Seriously though I've got sympathy with Grimbo here.    

    I always ask posters to reflect on their work.    Take the last hour of your daily P & B posting to reflect on your daily offerings.    

    Re-read your postings.   Ask yourself the difficult questions:    Could I have phrased that any better?    Did I answer the question to the best of my abilities?   Why didn't that post receive green dots?   Am I posting too much?   Am I posting too little?   

    Making notes is recommended; then set your posting goals for the next day.

    It's a decent bet that Scotland will still vote No in Sept 2018, What are you gonna do then lads? Serious question btw, will raging on P&B be enough to fill your appetite for the next 15 years, until we go again?

     

    I'm fully expecting another No vote in 2018.      A lead of 11% and nearly 400,000 ( or the population of Edinburgh) will be an almighty mountain to climb.   

    Unless Yes can consistently poll 51% + ( not including undecideds)   then I cant be confident.

    Haha brilliant, it was a straight question on employability for graduates in the subject area 'we' have invested in?
    You can't answer it in terms of return on investment, so take the default position of 'an attack on the SNP' which somehow means I'm a shitebag, typical Separatist logic.
    They're running the show at your behest, at least try and defend your position.
    If you can't back it up, just say so and we'll move on.

     
     

    Unable to provide answer = No right to ask  question.  

    We have moved on to neutrality in indyref2.   You might find this hard to accept.

    Yeah I'm waiting too, prove what you've stated, in your own time, no problem.
    It was your benchmark not mine, go on, this should be interesting!

     

    The answer we sadly expected.  

    Next time you assault the SNP, best be able to argue the point.    

    Absolutely telling that you criticise the SG, then squirm away.   

    What a shitebag!!!!

    No, you sited the number of Students pursuing a Higher Education as a success, I'm questioning how you measure that. Surely that's fair, given the investment we pour into it?

     

    You've answered a question with a question again.   This was the rules in indyref1.   Times have changed.   You answer the question, then you ask one.   

    We are promoting parity in 2017, not the 2014 fudge.

    How many Graduates (%) get jobs in the subject area/ sector they actually studied for.

    HE employability figures never state that. They'll claim that 80-90% of their students are in work within 6 months of completing their studies. They don't tell you how many are working in call centres or part time at Subway!

     

    I take answers before you are afforded questions.   This isn't loony yoons where you serve the ball and we attempt to return.  

    RedRob72, how would you assess the SG's performance on education - in all sectors, and collectively.

    Are you blaming the SNP for your own shortcomings at school?

    TBH education is a mixed bag under the SNP.  Probably a A- 

    There are more students at uni.  
    More are getting 1st class degrees.  
    We have the the highest 1st class degrees in science in the world. 
    Exam highers are up nearly 40%  
    Record number of students go on to FT college.  
    ONS suggested Scotland was the most educated country in the world.  


    PISA was poorish.   Yet most of the slides came under Labour and we know its a sub-sample.   And nothing more.

    This forum never fails to amaze me in terms of the perspective and emotion of life - both the good and the bad.

    2 posts in the space of as many days where posters are going through absolute hell. You certainly stopped me in my tracks.

    When I get home I'm going to hug my kids tightly.

    Hang on in there guys.

     

    Thanks fella.   Today was tough but my wife was brilliant - as were the NHS staff.    

    Just glad to get her home tonight.    

    I've not had a beer in a few weeks but I'm half way through my first can.    I need it.  

  9. Going through the same thing as you Slippery P.    We had our 12 and 5 scan today.   Only to discover the baby hadn't made it past 10 weeks.    

    Utterly crushing to watch the screen knowing the radiographer is searching for a heartbeat, but there isn't one to be found.    

    Got to move on and booked by wife in for a Thursday appointment for a D & C and to move our lives forward again.

    The 'donation' goes to the seller and the publisher covers its costs through advertising and donations.  I also know of a few 'City' law firms and banks who set 'Big Issue' sellers up with a laptop and card reader maybe 1 day a week so that staff can use their 'canteen cards' to buy a copy.

     

    Please, that's too soon after Libor.

    So this fucking chancer moved in to your street and starts chucking all his old shite about. Bin to his front door, cover in petrol, set alight, chap the door, leg it. f**k does this boy think he is? Get him telt.
    (Post not to be taken seriously)

    Thankfully you've asked us not to take your post seriously.   Because you'd be in flames when chapping the front door.

    If I lived in England I wouldn't have left the Lib Dems and I would vote for them.

    But I live in Scotland. Where they want to go out of their way not to have anything to say to half of the electorate, and at that a half that has hundreds of thousands of people who should have a lot in common with them.

    Since you're online.  Any opinions or view about fellow Liberal Dem Carole Ford ?

    Don't say that.....You'll dispel the carefully crafted myth that only the horrible, xenophobic English behave like that....not us noble Scots!!

    I see you didn't dispute my point that anti-Englishness is being fueled only by No voters.

    Like I said.......and I know you get it really, It's about direction of travel. The EU is heading in the wrong direction

    What direction do you think UK is heading ?   Are you happy with that for Scotland ?    

    What would need to change for you to move to Yes ?

    Independence is appealing to lots of No voters, that's for sure, but they don't see the UK or Great Britain as 'The Enemy' like the SNP do.

    Until you change the anti-British and anti-English rhetoric you won't get everyone to support the SNP regardless., It just won't happen. 

    The SNP are simply too hateful and too divisive and too focused on their own self interests rather than the interests of suffering Scottish voters for many  more reasonable Scots. Wait for the bile and the abuse in reaction to this post and you'll see what I mean. SNP= Seething Nasty p***ks.

    Thanks for the reply.   

    The only time I encounter anything "anti-English" is whenever I click on unionist FB pages like UAS.   They seem to want to stir up talk of anti-englishness by constantly claiming the SNP and YES voters are anglophobic, without providing any evidence for their claims.   

    I've genuinely never experienced someone being verbally abused or being treated differently because they're English.    I've encountered racist behaviour towards Asians from Scots.  

    Certain unionists play this anti-English thing like a rape card.    I voted for Brexit, but I doesnt mean I hate the French.
