Why are they proud of Westminster having control over their own country Scotland? A vote for any unionist party is a vote for English nationalism. Dear fucking God. Something bad happened to The Natters on Thursday. Maybe it's all these years of trying to contain their 'I hate the English' mindset finally got too much for them and they can no longer pretend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk of an inclusive nationalism is all well and good but then you hear the same people talking about "thick English c***s" and you realise exactly what you are looking at. Good luck trying to persuade anyone on here to recognise the value of winning people to the Yes side of the argument through persuasion rather than name-calling and abuse. Engaging with real people in real discussion should not be confused with insulting trolling wankers like you online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many have we had since the last referendum? In the USA their President is in office for 4 years, they have a written constitution. The UK does not have a written constitution and our Pm can be in office no more than 5 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden Cowboy Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 47 minutes ago, MixuFixit said: Not really. About certain things Britain has done, sure, but not about being British. There's just nothing about it that makes me care about retaining it as a nationality. I posted a map a while ago on a thread, maybe this one, where other than London and the east of Northern Ireland, British as a primary identity is vanishingly rare. The English consider themselves English, the Welsh as Welsh, the Scots as Scots. It's a confection as an enduring identity. It isn't - it is just as valid as being a Fifer or a European - indeed on here folks keep telling us that Britain is the island we live on and the various peoples on that island are British 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tories called this general election a "once in a generation opportunity". So presumably they're going to prevent any futher general elections for the next 100 years? Also, if you can find the legal document that states "once in a generation" regarding Scottish referendums, then i'll be interested to see it. Thanks m8. Firstly, I can use English and not text talk, being able to distinguish the difference between a phone and a laptop. In developed nations the average generation length is in the high 20's and has even reached 30 years in some nation so I have no idea where you plucked 100 years from, a lucky bag perhaps? Can't find the any documentation backing up this, but here is the ugliest woman in politics lending a hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care tbh. 50.00001% of the vote will do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
