1320Lichtie Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I asked you if by that you meant No voters a less patriotic than Yes voters?. Well obviously, how can anyone claim to be patriotic after voting against their country running it's own affairs? It's the biggest case of shitebaggery there is and it shows you have no confidence in your country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It does look amateurish, but it's true! Was it his own money he spent? I'm sure I could find a number of Labour politicians claiming expenses they shouldn't have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepundit Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I note Nicola Sturgeon has said in an article today that an independent Scotland will block the UK's EU reform plans. How will a non-EU member do that?...... Was that a wise thing to say when Scotland would first need to apply to join the European Union and they'd be relying on the UK to support their application?

Political suicide that. First of all, the SNP/Yes love to tell us how they wouldn't necessarily make up the first Scottish government. Bit of a sideways move to be telling us what the Scottish government is going to be doing after independence when you yourself are keen to talk down your chances of being in that government. Secondly, given that rUK led by David Cameron are leading the charge for European reform, it's a bizarre move to say you're going to block this when you're going to need the support of rUK to even get in to the EU. If I were in the Yes campaign I'd be secretly DELIGHTED that this nippy sweetie has been benched in favour of Alex Salmond because Darling would no doubt be ready to finish her off on Tuesday night.

He's only one of the ethnic nationalists in residence. One of the worst , sure, but there are several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't, dress it up any way you want but you are voting against your country running itself. You are showing you have no confidence in your country. Fact. How is that wrong saying that? NO voters just cannot accept this which is why they always pull out the 'I'm as patriotic as anyone' line. Fucking tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Nesbitt hasn't got a clue, are these the people we really want to put up front!? And who is she to say what an independent Scotland will do with regards to the EU, unless she's assuming that it's a given that the SNP will be running the show. F*ckin No chance!!

P45 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I take it thepundit got that from the Guardian. She didn't actually say that at all. "Free movement is an integral principle of the single market. There are issues of conditions in terms of benefits and such like, but one of the weaknesses of David Cameron's position is that the specifics of what he is trying to achieve are very vague. "An independent Scotland would be a very constructive partner on the European and world stage and we would look to build alliances where it is right for Scotland. You know, we are not going to be part of this narrow-minded, Ukip-driven agenda of David Cameron. "We will take positions on these things that we consider right, proper and in the Scottish interest."

A silly thing to say. That's like a footballer saying to the coach "I'm going to spoil your tactics for the match on Saturday but would you mind putting me in the team first?".... A bold strategy. I don't think it will work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 That Jockholm poster. If that goes mainstream then Yes Scotland would become a laughing stock. Yes, cos it's an official Yes publication. ONE of the resident ethnic Nats. He is definitely amongst the worst of them but we must be pushing double figures. You're rather cute when you're angry, Godzookie. Another "if you don't vote Yes your not patriotic" bawbag. But wouldn't expect anything less from our resident ethnic nationalist. Truth hurts? A No in this referendum is a Yes for Westminsteer. Yes to austerity, Trident, WCA's, foodbanks, child poverty, zero hours contracts, massive gulf between rich and poor. You're voting in favour of all those things by voting No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonapersona Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nothing. You claimed Yes voters were refusing to turn their backs on their country and I asked you if by that you meant No voters a less patriotic than Yes voters?. I wouldn't say No voters are unpatriotic. In fact, I think it's takes a lot of patriotism to refuse to leave the sinking ship. And even if the ship doesn't sink, it is so rusty it should be laid to rest.

Geronimo Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Two months after independence day, yes. I think two years is time enough to negotiate entry into the EU, the SNP have stated they will begin negotiations between the announcement of a yes vote, and independence day.
