Fide Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Even MSPs are seething at Gaelic ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1441093745.033547.jpg Jackson Carlaw is a dribbling moron. He lifted the picture from a seething pro Unionist Facebook group called "Smash the SNP". Mark McDonald @markmcdsnp 9h Hi @JacksonMSP, wondering what your source for this is? I'm sure you properly researched it rather than blindly share some questionable tosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fide Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Dont think britnats are Hostile to gaelic to be honest thats just you having a cheap shot. I'm utterly fascinated that you used a capital 'h' in hostile, yet a lower case 'g' in Gaelic. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 millions on gaelic signs very helpfull. I think this is the first time you have agreed with anything! I cannot help but think that you are actually against dual language road signs as it doubles the amount of words that you don't understand.

~~~ Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 How many of those discuss Road signs? The discussion is doesn't cost anything extra? Are you against Gaelic roadsigns? After all shouldn't fellow tax paying scots own language be represented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Parp Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Could the money have been better utilised helping a greater number of people? Doesn't cost anything, dolt. Gaelic is only added when the sign needs replaced anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 So, the bi-lingual road signage comes at no additional cost as it is replaced as normal when the time comes. I can only assume that Carlaw and his Proud Scot chums are really annoyed that it points to a history for Scotland prior to 1707. Not shared "British" history. A seperate Scottish Gael culture that was a big, big part of Scottish history prior to the Union and indeed after. If it was up to them it would be consigned to the annals and flung on the fire. The fact that the signage gives a nod to Scottish, or more correctly Gaelic individuality sticks in their craw. But still, let's not let culture and history get in the way of proper history. Y'know, WW2 and Waterloo and all that shite hammered out again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 http://www.debatingeurope.eu/2015/08/31/language-rights/#.VeXBxvVwZoM There are more than 60 indigenous, regional or minority languages officially recognised in the European Union. These are not dead languages either; together they are spoken regularly by roughly 40 million people. Yet just because minority languages are spoken today does not mean that they can survive without support. Another 59 languages for the Brit Bats to get upset about once they finishing wetting themselves over Gaelic signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Poileas Alba. Hilarious - both the anger at the Gaelic language, and how some people seem to struggle to understand what those words mean. And for Jackson Carlaw seemingly retweeting from a site that has pics of Salmond dressed as Hitler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Of course it costs. The sign must be bigger and has more on it. Running low on straws to clutch? I would like some evidence please that the sign are "bigger" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Get a grip, you can't fit more on text on them without increasing the size. Unless they make the text smaller and harder to read. Stop being obtuse. And the wait for evidence continues, Plus i'd like a breakdown of the extra costs please, You know I've got a suspicion road signs are not just a one off order when needing replaced but probably a contract to supply them You do understand it comes out the same budget, They don't have a special separate Gaelic road sign budget, But the really question is, why are you so hostile to fellow tax paying Scots having their language on the road signs? don't we all live together after all.

~~~ Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Funnily enough I'm still waiting on you to answer my original question. I never stated there was a separate budget, if you can show me where I do that would be appreciated. I'd also appreciate you telling me where I am so hostile. Already answered m8 No idea why you're being so hostile about having English and Gaelic on road signs, since its now been established it makes no difference to the cost.
