jakedee Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I've watched the marches since I was a kid Pep, these days it's a couple of days fishing & golf and a good chance to meet up with friends and family. There's nothing bigoted about it whatsoever! Give it up! Of course the fishing and golfing season just happen to coincide with the marching season,sure they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way can Scotland be described, as you've tried unsuccessfully to do in your rush to be a tiresome smartarse, as a "political union". It isn't being a "smartarse" answering a question accurately. It is quite clearly a nation within the UK with substantial devolved powers. Powers that the devolved administration screamed for and when given, refuse to use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't explain why you claimed it was a "political union" in response to "what do you call [Scotland]". In what way is Scotland a "political union"? Glad to see your Better Together playbook is serving you well though. "Substantial devolved powers", indeed. I'm surprised you are not lamenting that we have "super duper Devo Max" and are not making the most of being a tall dwarf. I do wonder which other devolved parliaments exist, that we might compare how substantial are the powers Westminster deigned to let Scotland tinker with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to explicitly refer to Scotland then please inform me how the UK came into existence, who voted for it? Was it the consequence of a political settlement, civil war or military coup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 What drove you back into British Nationalism after your flirtation with voting "yes" next time following the Brexit vote? Is it the sterling job the government Scotland didn't vote for done so far, or a sudden realisation that it's absolutely right that England and Wales decide what's right, and Scotland is told to STFU because it's a backwater colony? It's called Stockholm Syndrome. He feels hard done by, thinks his Masters are taking the piss; but then the hardened needy subservient want kicks in and he's fully 100% behind blighty. The most odious unionist type cretin amongst us. In his words he's a 'fukwit' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It certainly has livened up a bit on here in the last week or so anyway.

Who voted for it? Was it the consequence of a political settlement, civil war or military coup? The "first" UK came into existence via the Treaty of Union 1707. It was voted for by the Commissioners of Scotland. No, As you know the answer to these questions, and no one disputed them, I'm unsure of the purpose of your asking them. It hardly scores you a point when they were never in dispute. What does confirm you as a tiresome contrarian is your labouring argument against your misreading of my post. I asked what kev calls a former nation which forms a minor region of a state that also includes a larger former nation. Your answer, as you chose to offer it, was "a political union". Which is patently stupid. Scotland, the former nation to which I referred, is not a "political union". By all means, though, continue to tell me what my question to kev actually meant if it makes you feel "right" and that you have the last word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
