DublinMagyar Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Their remit is to administer the devolved powers, not 'govern' Scotland. Not govern Scotland? Willing to be corrected but in pretty sure it's called the Scottish government. Not matter which maniac is in charge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DublinMagyar Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I won't pay any attention to your musings as you're talking shite. Let me ask you a proper question. Do you think the probability of war in Europe since 1945 has increased/decreased due to the formation of the EU(and all its predecessors)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Europe is in NATO but even if they weren't and if the EU and it's predecessors hadn't been formed I don't think there would be any probability of war in Europe and if the EU collapses there still won't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 If you revel in negativity your life will be negative and all your interactions will be negative. It will become a self fulfilling prophesy. I prefer to.. You are more like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a terrible, isolationist little discriminator you are. Well, It would be silly to have borders within the UK, ........really , really silly. Your second sentence is just, well..........silly ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU was set up to stop wars on the Continental mainland because there are potential conflicts along just about every border in Europe. I'm afraid Europeans just love to wantonly kill each other over minor tracts of land. It's been happening for millenia. That's the advantage of a) being an island b) The Act of Union We are truly blessed on our Sceptered Isle and are best out of the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Executive was a more fitting name and the change of name to appease the Nationalists' is something to regret. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recommend anybody to read some of the policical writings of Willy Brandt for insights on this and other aspects of the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the c**ts on here that take great delight when anything disparaging is written about the Scottish economy or NHS or Education etc. These buggers dinnae acknowledge that the Scottish Government has tae govern with one hand tied behind it's back. And it's only through independence that the hand will be untied. Fine they (and you) ken it. 11 hours ago, RedRob72 said: As a Unionist they don't speak for me Willie, but of course accept what they do well in equal measure! No problem. Rob, that's no the point I was trying tae make. ANY Scottish government will have one hand tied behind its back. Do you agree? I cannae mind who it was but someone on P&B made an excellent analogy. You hand your neighbour your wages at the end of the month and he decides how much you get back tae live on. Is that acceptable to you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
