It's pathetic how many of the Natter Massive break down in tears when she's called 'Nippy' and it's surprising that you're one of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine thinking that it would be good idea to allow the possibility of our unitary nation-state being partitioned by a thicket of RA-loving schemies from DunWeegia. Ooofft. I hope you show THAT post to Gerald down the golf club. I hope the polite chuckle he gives you helps with the inferiority complex thing. Gerald still sees you as a bit less than they are though.

Absolutely correct and, on poor wind days, Scotland needs to import from England. In many ways Scotland is more dependent than England. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 10 hours ago, speckled tangerine said: Theresa May wasn't universally disliked. There was a grudging respect there as she was battling against the Peter Bone types in her party. (Also see J. Major and the "b*****ds") Cameron was seen as the Eton entitled p***k ala Johnson, albeit with a bit more nous. What is the Tory vision for Scotland? The last Scottish election had a leaflet that mentioned no more referendums about 30 times and f**k all policy. Nae c**t's voting a DUP into Government here. Thatcher was hated. Too young for Ted Heath. My great grandfather was a gofer for Alec Douglas-Home when he was Secretary of State (and later PM) in St Andrew's House. Lovely man by his own account. "In the wrong party- should be a liberal" he told my mum. That was the early sixties, so that's 60 years plus since the Conservatives resonated in Scotland. We don't want them but we're stuck with them ad infinitum. So I countered the idea that the dislike of Boris is anything new or tangible and you've wrote an essay about how Scotland has disliked Tories for over 60 years.... Wouldn't it have been quicker to just agree with me rather than prove my point in a round about way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they're building more nuclear and offshore wind and building more interconnectors https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-50345575 In the end, an indy England would have a choice where to buy it's extra energy from - France, Belgium, Holland, Scotland, Ireland, even Germany / Scandinavia Indy scotland really would only have one customer, they wouldn't have any leverage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think happens with the excess? Fair enough. I’m certainly no engineer but a couple of questions. There must be days when there is little wind. If we can store, okay, but can we? Surely we must need a base capacity from, gas, nuclear and other sources to cope wit those windless days. Is this wrong?
