Pure whining grievance from a xenophobic supporter of the partitionist UK. Edited August 19, 2022 by Antlion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vile politics of identity and division attracts such characters. Sadly. Which explains why you bragged about voting for a nationalist party even as it was enacting the vile politics of identity and division via partitioning us from our continental neighbours. I suppose your innate anger and penchant for abuse drew you to the post-2016, Brexit-pursuing, identity-politicking Tories? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue was settled in 2014 and that's that. You're right though. Hate should never win, and laws should be in place to stop them continuing to hold the country to ransom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'd ban the greedy jocks from voting at Westminster. They have their own parliament they shouldn't get a vote in are one. Especially if they refuse to vote for either of are grand old parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocketman Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 some unhinged and ill-informed indy supporters spouting and shouting nonsense at a on his best day, competent, BBC reporter - nothing short of horrific. Such hateful scenes. Successive Tory Govts feeling more and more enabled to make vulnerable and ever more poorer people at the bottom end of society destitute and without hope or options, whilst they fill their pockets through self serving decisions that benefit less than 2% of the population (supported by the "opposition" who are content with the current voting and establishment structures) - that's politics. Nothing to see here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 In the welter of criticism that has followed the actions of a few utter roasters in Perth earlier this week I have seen absolutely no reference anywhere to the most violent political demonstration in Scotland in recent times. I refer of course to the evening of Friday 15th September 2014 when hundreds of Unionist thugs ran amok in Glasgow's George Square, attacking both participants in a peaceful assembly of Yes supporters and basically anyone who upset their loyalist sensibilities. And lest we ever forget, Jo Cox MP was murdered by a right-wing British Nationalist assassin. Supporters of Scottish Independence need to maintain a stance of law-abiding protest but they need take no lectures from anyone when it comes to evidence of genuinely violent behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George square was a two way thing. The behaviour of the Nats, who for some reason still wanted to hog the square despite having lost, was despicable. Their anger and sense of entitlement was beyond belief. It was understandable though, given the grudge and grievance they’d been fed for months. As one policeman rightly said to an angry, overweight Nat: ‘Everyone has a right to be here’ -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Lord Frost brands Scottish independence 'morally wrong', calls for devolution to 'evolve back' Morally wrong. Where would you even begin to challenge this statement? Evolve back presumably a thinly veiled start to the dismantling of Holyrood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britain is dead already matey. There is no case to make for the union, bar making it illegal to leave. (That is not a union by-the-way). You know that the little Englanders would vote for partition in their droves given the chance. They would love to show us Jock Scroungers the door. It is all over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
