DeeGas Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I am glad to see that the "yes" voters are very much taking the SNP line, which is to behave in such a condescending manner towards anyone who does not share their view, it is a free vote its not about who can SHOUT THE LOUDEST One question what size of defeat will the SNP attempt to claim a "moral" victory, if they get 40% of the vote, 35%?

Mr.Bojangles Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I see. You were just trying to get a rise out of people so you could claim moral superiority. Should have guessed, I suppose. Well, it didn't work so it's time to pretend that it did so someone does lay into you so you can claim you were right before we descend further into the shitfest. I wonder where HB is. He'd be proud. You've had reasonable answers to all your concerns and you've ignored them. You were asked to disprove any of the pro-independence assertions and you refused. Presumably because it's so easy to. If you get all teary eyed when you see a Union Jack or a bulldog, that's fine, but don't pretend you want the answers to the economics of the debate when evidently it doesn't concern you in the slightest.

D-Day Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 List of UK Prime Ministers The following UK Prime Ministers attended university at either Oxford or Cambridge. Thus, of the 55 Prime Ministers to date, 41 studied at Oxbridge, That's very near 4 in 5. 11 did not go to university, and only 3, Earl Russell, Neville Chamberlain, and Gordon Brown, went to other universities (Edinburgh, Birmingham and Edinburgh respectively). PM PM dates College Robert Walpole 1721-1742 King's, Cambridge Earl of Wilmington 1742-1743 Trinity, Oxford Henry Pelham 1743-1746 Hart Hall, Oxford Earl of Bath 1746 Christ Church, Oxford Duke of Newcastle 1754-1756 Clare, Cambridge George Grenville 1763-1765 Christ Church, Oxford Marquess of Rockingham 1765-1766, 1782 St John's, Cambridge Earl of Chatham 1766-1768 Trinity, Oxford Duke of Grafton 1768-1770 Peterhouse, Cambridge Lord North 1770-1782 Trinity, Oxford Earl of Shelburne 1782-1783 Christ Church, Oxford Duke of Portland 1783, 1807-1809 Christ Church, Oxford William Pitt 1783-1801, 1804-1806 Pembroke, Cambridge Henry Addington 1801-1804 Brasenose, Oxford Baron Grenville 1806-1807 Christ Church, Oxford Spencer Perceval 1809-1812 Trinity, Cambridge Earl of Liverpool 1812-1827 Christ Church, Oxford George Canning 1827 Christ Church, Oxford Viscount Goderich 1827-1828 St John's, Cambridge Earl Grey 1830-1834 Trinity, Cambridge Viscount Melbourne 1834 Trinity, Cambridge Robert Peel 1841-1846 Christ Church, Oxford Earl of Derby 1852, 1858-1859, 1866-1868 Christ Church, Oxford Earl of Aberdeen 1852-1855 St John's, Cambridge Viscount Palmerston 1855-1858, 1859-1865 St John's, Cambridge William Gladstone 1868-1874, 1880-1885, 1886, 1892-1894 Christ Church, Oxford Marquess of Salisbury 1885-1886, 1886-1892, 1895-1902 Christ Church, Oxford Earl of Rosebery 1894-1895 Christ Church, Oxford Arthur Balfour 1902-1905 Trinity, Cambridge Henry Campbell-Bannerman 1905-1908 Trinity, Cambridge Herbert Asquith 1908-1916 Balliol, Oxford Stanley Baldwin 1923-1924, 1924-1929, 1935-1937 Trinity, Cambridge Clement Atlee 1945-1951 University, Oxford Anthony Eden 1955-1957 Christ Church, Oxford Harold Macmillan 1957-1963 Balliol, Oxford Alec Douglas-Home 1963-1964 Christ Church, Oxford Harold Wilson 1964-1970, 1974-1976 Jesus, Oxford Edward Heath 1970-1974 Balliol, Oxford Margaret Thatcher 1979-1990 Somerville, Oxford Tony Blair 1997-2007 St John's, Oxford David Cameron 2010- Brasenose, Oxford 14 attended Cambridge (including 6 at Trinity), and 27 attended Oxford (including 14 at Christ Church). For more info on UK Prime Ministers, try Wikipedia. [ Source: http://www.blanchflower.org/alumni/pm.html ] List of Old Etonian Prime Ministers 19 UK Prime Ministers (including David Cameron) were educated at Eton as well as elsewhere. That's more than 1 in 3 in the history of the UK. Robert Walpole 1721-1742 John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute 1762–1763 George Grenville, 1763-65 William Pitt the Elder, 1st Earl of Chatham 1766-1768 Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guildford 1770–1782 William Grenville 1806–1807 George Canning 1827 Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington 1828–1830 & 1834 Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey 1830–1834 William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne 1834 & 1835–1841 Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby 1852, 1858–1859 & 1866–1868 William Gladstone 1868–1874, 1880–1885, 1886 & 1892–1894 Robert Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury 1885–1886, 1886–1892 & 1895–1902 Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery 1894–1895 Arthur Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour 1902-1905 Anthony Eden 1955–1957 Harold Macmillan, 1st Earl of Stockton 1957–1963 Alec Douglas-Home 1963-1964 David Cameron 2010- [ Source: http://nickcleggsfault.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/list-of-old-etonian-prime-ministers.html ] It would be interesting to know how many UK Deputy Prime Ministers and Mayors of London as well as other high heads of Westminster (London) governments AND opposition party leaders have attended Oxford, Cambridge and Eton wouldn't it? Example: Nicholas William Peter "Nick" Clegg (born 7 January 1967) is a British politician who has been Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Lord President of the Council (with special responsibility for political and constitutional reform) since 2010. He attended the University of Cambridge. Edward Samuel Miliband (born 24 December 1969) is a British Labour Party politician, currently the Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition. Born in London, Miliband graduated from Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964) is a British Conservative Party politician, who has served as Mayor of London since 2008. He was educated at the European School in Brussels, at Ashdown House School and at Eton College, where he was a King's Scholar. And graduated from Oxford. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

D-Day Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The first point is interesting and prompted me to check something. Of the four First Ministers since devolution, only two of them went to proper Universities. McConnell went to Stirling and McLeish went to Heriot-Watt. That said, of course over the longer-term, the intellectual elite of Scottish politics, most of which either resides within the SNP or with the other party's Scottish representatives or ex-pats in English constituencies at Westminster at present, will come from more highly regarded Universities. We'll probably see a lower propensity for private school pupils reaching the summit than with the UK as a whole, but the reason for tertiary stratification in politics is as much effect as cause. Post independence I'd still be expecting First Ministers mostly to come from Oxbridge, Glasgow, Edinburgh, St Andrews and maybe Aberdeen. The ambitious aim for the academic summit and then they go for the political one. It's not a bad thing. As long as we're mindful not consciously to shut-off people simply because of their background, there's no good reason for vilifying political success aligning with academic. As for the second point, there are a number of regards in which Holyrood is *better* than Westminster, but it has corroded and regressed significantly in the last 7 or so years. Debates are petty, simplistic, lazily partisan, superficial and very insular. And it's been intensified by every debate coming to be seen first and foremost through the prism of the constitutional question. We can only hope that the referendum can settle the matter and we can have some proper considered consensual politics going forward. Are all Lib Dems elitist c**ts?

Saor Alba Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 What about Nigel Falange? This one? Strangely enough, he has no connection to either Oxbridge or Eton as far as i am aware. However, I don't think that a UKIP leader becoming Prime Minister of the UK would be fair to Scotland either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockMacAbre Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 He is never going to be Prime Minister, or even get close to it, though. If the Tories are the largest party in another hung parliament, and need a coalition partner, an emerging UKIP with potentially some MP's(likely from the Lincolnshire area), is the obvious choice. Farage will then likely become Deputy Prime Minister... Terrifying thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does me saying i find living in a very multi-cultural place makes it tolerable to live here suggest I'm an anti-immigration type ? Why does pointing out the place is surrounded by a sea of tories make me an anti-english racist? City Council have a single Tory councillor, the County Council based in the same city , across the road is Tory. Every surrounding constituancy is Tory. f**k, i doubt coloured illustrations would help. still , must give you credit for trying to fit 'in lieu' in a new as yet unused context in a sentence of rare quality. and JockMacAbre ! phnarr phnarr not sure if you're* the exception that proves it or just typical.

JockMacAbre Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 How does me saying i find living in a very multi-cultural place makes it tolerable to live here suggest I'm an anti-immigration type ? The wasn't really what I was going on about, it's what preceded it that alarmed me.. Namely "The press will also remain anti Scots, as we're easier to insult than the other foriegners who blight englandshire, full of stories about tartan scroungers, without the bigot brothers tosh they replace it with in their northern brittish editions."... Now, if I've taken that comment out of context in any way, explain why, and I'll be happy to rescind my comment. Besides, I don't believe the Scots are treated as bad as you seem to make out, and if you genuinely feel that way, why the f**k do you live there? Any I'll put on record right now that I am neither a unionist or a nationalist. For the first time in my life, I'm actually on the fence about something. I lived in England, have a half-English daughter, have English friends and a part of me doesn't want to see the union broken, but at the same time, I can also see the wealth of benefits and the greater degree of democracy that would exist in Scotland should she become independent. Where you got the idea that I'm a unionist is beyond me any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
