topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just look at the Union Flag/Jack and you see the saltires of Saints Andrew and Patrick. Is this in any way contentious?Contentious in as much as they’re fragmented saltires instead of actual saltiresI reckon you two should probably call this one a draw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Is Corbyn the comic turn to fill time before Johnson's clowns get up to speed? Can't wait for his 'umbrellas for everybody' statement when the rain comes. In other news I believe Barnier has called Johnson's bleatings combative, which bodes well for the coming months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kinc, Just wondering if you're happy with the UK's choice of PM. Maybe you've commented elsewhere on this, but if you have, apologies, I must have missed it. Is BJ the man to unite the divided tory party, the divided country and preserve the Union? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John and hope all is well. Long time no chat. I'm a fan neither of Boris (I voted Hunt in the ballot) nor of Brexit but we either have to piss or get off the pot so if Boris is true to the Halloween deadline then I would welcome it. The shenanigans have gone on far too long and a 'no deal' conclusion would be better than ripping the arse out of it for another year or three. As for The Union? Well we know that most Scots are Unionists. We even had a plebiscite to confirm it. What Boris really has to deliver is a prosperous and thriving economy as only the Tory party can do. Dissident movements such as Scottish Nationalism prosper when the economy is weak and/or when the xenophobes are given free rein. Hopefully Johnson's government will give us a business focus which acts to minimise the impact of Scotland's empty-headed Yesser minority.

I appreciate your opinion, even if I don't agree with any of it! I've highlighted your last sentence just to take this opportunity to remind you that BJ was once quoted as saying : "f**k Business" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a disingenuous, self-serving fuckwit - which is why I didn't vote for him in the ballot. OTOH he riles the Natters on here so he's not all bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 How anyone in favour of staying in the EU and the UK can continue to support the Tory Party is beyond me. Without the internal squabbles of a dysfunctional mess of a governing party we'd be happily carrying on in the most successful trade deal on the planet, our children and grandchildren could work and study where they liked across a vast continent, without all the red tape that will also consume businesses across the country. And there could have been no greater material change than this almighty f**k up to justify a second referendum on Scottish Independence, which we'll win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
