xbl Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Don't forget the "simply swapping Westminster for Brussels" argument. Forgetting that we're already subject to directives implemented by Brussels as part of the UK, by this logic nearly 30 countries in Europe aren't properly independent. The good thing about the North British exiles in London getting involved is that they recycle old favourite arguments that were discredited years ago! Its been months since I had to reply to a post with "We are ALREADY in the EU". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrier bag Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Quite cute seeing prominent unionists entering the thread being unable to argue against the daily drip feed, and leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Robertson was terrible. I genuinely quite like Stewart Hosie. I was aware of him continually coming 2nd in Kirkcaldy for years but he's always really good when I hear him speak. Wouldn't mind him taking over from Salmond when the time comes. I'm giving the video a shot, but I have to say, Hosie is far too reasonable for my tastes. I like a bit of fire and brimstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with intelligence generally lean towards Yes once they're exposed to proper arguments. Second best Scottish politician for me. He's a brilliant exponent of common sense, is utterly convincing and doesn't get flustered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Ye gods, I just got to the quisling bit. This is painful already. No wonder the Unionists (and Ad Lib) on here got so worked up about my use of the term. Clearly they were using it wrongly as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Scotland 'more likely to suffer catastrophic terror attack if it achieves independence' Best headline ever! I'm sure John Smeaton is capable of knocking the f**k out of Godzilla as he wanders out of the Firth of Forth at Leith Docks, intent on destroying Bute House. Or whatever.

lichtgilphead Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Seems reasonable, no? I know that you've been busy trying to confirm numbers at the recent march, but I must remind you that you previously said you would set out the positive case for the union. If you can't do it soon, can you at least set out your proposed timescale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
