Crossbill Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 1 hour ago, Shades75 said: They are. http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Economy/GERS Have a look at those pages and see how many times the word "estimate" or "estimated" is used. It's a lot. The GERS figures are taken as gospel by the unionists and used as a stick to beat the SNP over the head with. The first white paper on independence was dismissed as fantasy by the unionists and is used as a stick to beat the SNP over the head with. Can you see the contradiction? The GERS report is complied in Scotland, but the data that is used comes from Westminster and is of highly dubious quality. Hence this guys assertion that GERS is essentially 'Garbage in, garbage out'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's doing well, as he usually does. Kezia is unbelievably bad. A couple of vodkas and she'd be asking for a square go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Kezia would be great craic on a night out. That's not really what you're looking for in a member of parliament I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodoffBaldrick Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm struggling to watch this. It's largely pointless. People lying and everyone knows they're lying but they get away with it. Really not enjoying watching Wullie and his pet nodding dog on his shoulder especially 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades75 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Tories lying like f**k about the polls, they just rinse and repeat utter shite and they know they're doing it and they're backed up by a wholly unionist media. Damn frustrating. That Jenny Gilruth is a cast iron wid though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I've got nothing against Kez, she seems quite nice. She's an utterly dreadful politician though. My pal organised an indy debate at uni years before the vote and I went along to make up the numbers. Kez was there as the young one who gets trotted out for student jokey debates, and got roundly trounced by the SNP rep (who I forget the name of). It came as quite a surprise that she pops up as leader of the party 3 years later! Seems like the sort of person who would drop her phone in the toilet. A person that has calamity happen to them. My girlfriend saw her get her card eaten by a cash machine at Queen Street station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanghai Loon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Alex Rowley. Zzzzzzzzzzz Must be the most boring speaker ever. Some points where made but I just couldn't care what they were when he started droning on. The vote for #ScotRef will go through, May will try and delay and I can't see an agreement being made as to the timeframe. So what options are left? I can't see a consultative referendum going ahead as this will eat up time wouldn't be legally binding. Does NS have the willingness to claim UDI? Can't see this happening either, unless there is definite support from the EU. Anyway, genuine question - how does everyone else see this situation panning out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
