    There isn’t an argument against another independence referendum, though - as the 2014 ref was on whether we wanted to be part of an EU member state. We’ve never voted on whether we want to be a region of an anti-EU member state.

    Starmer doesn’t want a referendum on joining the EU purely because he knows - whatever the opinion polls show - that he has to cater to the right- and far right-press, or risk being labelled a socialist leftie (boo!). It’s the same reason he vocally opposes Scottish democracy: he knows it’s necessary to come across as a sufficiently blood-and-soil UK Nat to those whose views (and newspapers) matter in Little Britain.

    Starmer and Labour have no interest in changing the direction of the UK. They’ll just change their values in return for a brief period in power.

    It wasn’t though, was it?

    Apparently there's been an incident offshore in Qatar between 3 Aberdonian's.

     

    1 boy has murdered his room mate and left another in intensive care. Battered them over the head and bundled them up in sheets. Some boy, Scott Forrest? I think, is the accused.

    Nothing in the news about it, being in Qatar.

     

    You can take the boy out of Torry…

    Won’t be a performance that’ll live long in the memory today but we’ve given ourselves a real opportunity of winning this cup when you look at some of the teams left. Would take anyone other than Dundee and to an extent, Dunfermline. Clyde would be lovely in terms of progression to the semis. When is the draw ?

    13th. It’s also the draw for the semis.

    The result was inevitable, did we honestly think that a court in London would rule otherwise?

    As long as westminster has the Scottish oil and gas revenue they will not let us go.

    Remember that the tories voted against devolution and a Scottish Government, we are the last Colony of their long gone empire.

    Their empire?

    We live in a world where criticism of such as the NHS would be shouted down, and the quality of politicians means they do not stand their ground.  There will be many ways to spend the money more effectively, but raising your head above parapet and saying what needs to be said is a lost art. No organisation I know has a budget of £160bn and can't see shortcomings.

    Go to A&E in any town on any evening and you will see the time/money and nurses & doctors patience wasted on the same relatively small, but very expensive, population of drunks, junkies, wasters and tough guys. They soak up time & money that could be used in much better ways. I will not hold my breath waiting for any politician to tackle it though.
