The SNP got a fourth Holyrood 5 year term on the back of a landslide with an increased vote and they are still the third largest party in Westminster. So what does that tell us? well it shows that regardless of the shite and lies the tory party and unionists throw at the SNP it means hee haw to the Independence voter. The SNP membership has increased five fold since the 2014 referendum to a figure of 125,000, and that's where the likes of Dross needs to spend time, recognising the Independence movement and questioning why, instead he and the rest come up with the same old tired arguments that the SNP and it's membership totally ignore. Attacking the SNP as we saw achieves absolutely nothing but conversely increases it's vote share., and the Independence movement continually gathers pace. Sandy, you’ll be delighted that I agree with you that we need the referendum as soon as possible and you and I can get on with our lives without sniping at each other. Boris should call Nicola’s bluff and get ‘referendum done’. If you win, I’ll enter into the spirit of things and if I win, I’d expect you to shut up for a good long time. Seems fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you agree that attacking the SNP gains nothing then why bother? Maybe unionists should try a different approach, like having actual policies to share with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see, hardcore BritNats’ answer to rising numbers of independence supporters isn’t just “SNP bad” (though that’s the main plank); inexplicably, it’s also “MOAR UNION”. Yes, little Britons genuinely seem to think that quelling support for independence can be achieved by “strengthening” the UK (or weakening Scotland, to put it more honestly). I can only assume they’ve given up on trying to talk independence supporters (or even sympathisers) out of Scottish statehood and into supporting the ridiculous “union”, and are now hoping just to crush them so their voices can never matter legally or constitutionally again. Better together, though, or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, as one of Her Glorious Majesty's Inspectors of Shops, I have made it my life mission to ensure that the Great Briish Public are no longer exposed to abominations like this. It has now been deported on a rendition flight to Brussels. This may seem expensive, but no price is too high to ensure that our own Great British standards are upheld. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Is it just me that doesnt really care if Scotland becomes a nato member spending 2% of GDP on defence or not? Essentially does anyone in their right mind think NATO would allow Russia to invade Scotland and have a foothold on the British Isles? I know thats an extreme scenario but the yoons seem to like playing up just how ‘vulnerable’ we are. Our strategic location means its not in NATO’s interests to refuse us the same kind of membership as Eire. Also, we could instead of a full blown army have a Gendarmerie which would be able to do humanitarian work, public order policing, border patrols etc the spending of which would more than meet the 2% threshold in any regard as cross functionality means the figures can essentially be fudged. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceland is in a pretty vulnerable strategic spot too. Maybe the Yoons on here can tell us just how many nukes are on their territory and whether or not they spend 2% of GDP on their military? Iceland has been a full NATO member since 1949, according to their own Government website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I want to see the removal of Faslane/Coulport nuclear missile bases from an Independent Scotland the removal of the Lossiemouth NATO situation would be a whole new scenario. Sandy, these are the questions you’re going to face in the next referendum campaign. Its time you guys sorted out your position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that is already pretty critical. A massive cost and a much reduced risk and, with the Barnett Bonus, rUK has a bit of a cushion of ca. £12Bn per annum to ease the pain. Of course, as I've said before, we should also use those billions to provide some relocation support to other businesses who want to escape the North of Gretna Gulag. Mind you, your fellow Natters are doing an excellent job in gutting the tourist industry 'up there' with this wee snippet from a noted and quoted Natter journalist: So with your post and that of others we look as if we're laying down the framework for IndyRef2 and it is looking increasingly strident as an outsider looking in: You are perfectly happy to lose British jobs You are perfectly happy to lose British tourists I know that rampant Anglophobia is a characteristic of our forum but is this becoming the norm in Natter Scotland? Will this be the real debate if there is every a second independence referendum? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
