topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Oof, that's a huge swing. What's got to be remembered, is the north east will go yellow once the fisermen get stitched up again by Boris' "deal". So there's still more upside to come. Looking at the small print It’s an increase from 46 to 51 out of 1089 So it’s actually 4.2% to 4.7% Which is still a big shift in the context of a month But we should bear in mind that it’s effectively a sample of only 100 or so for Scotland so it’s not that powerful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunrise Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I haven't shared my opinion on it. You've just done what most on here do and read into it as you wish. All I have done is simply highlight the lie that Nationalists seem happy to spread that the EU aren't the ones insisting on a hard border in the event of a no deal Brexit. Since you’re so keen to tell us what you think on independence, why don’t you share your wisdom about Boris’ deal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC90 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Perhaps investors are putting their money into a small workforce (= smaller investment) selling to a large neighbour (= many sales) with the same rules, same language, similar tastes etc. This investment would feel more secure to investors than international investments. investors invest for many reasons but demand a return. I would have thought the socialists, within scotland, would be aghast at encouraging capitalist investment. Investors do not invest in Scotland just because it is Scotland. If that were the case Scotland would find emotional investors in the wider world. Who where and why should be identified before suggesting they invest in Scotland just because It is Scotland.Away and don't talk pish. They would invest in the south of England and be close to their millions of customers if that were the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not help but notice that on several occasions you've failed to capitalise appropriately. The bold part is a series or words, not necessarily in the correct order, but a series of words nonetheless. Would you think that you're rather overthinking matters? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your really think you should be subjective with your use of language pertaining to those that might have a cognitive disability? Also, what is so Scottish specific about the grouping you refer to thus: "I would have thought the socialists, within scotland, would be aghast at encouraging capitalist investment." How numerous to you think this supposed Scotland specific socialist subset is? Also, is it capitalist or Capitalist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would there be many more socialists by proportion of population in Scotland that would be "aghast" as compared to another small independent country in Europe, say like Slovenia, and why would you think this is relevant? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
