Guest Jedi Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Exactly....the sooner Scotland rejoins the party the better....it might take 4 or 5 years from application, it might take joining the Euro, but will be worth it. And....we actually get to chair the EU Council for 6 months. Edited December 31, 2020 by Jedi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Shirley sum mistook. Isn't her real name Pamela Sash?Gerard Kaufman described Labour's 1983 election manifesto as 'the longest suicide note in history'. That ill-written diatribe by Nash must rival it as the biggest exercise in self-loathing. Desperation drips from every paragraph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 48 minutes ago, Andrew Driver said: I don't really remember Pamela Nash as a Labour MSP. Any high/lowlights? I don't think she was ever a MSP. She was elected in 2010 after an all womans candidate list was imposed on the CLP. It was not popular with some but she won easily. She is a local person and I don't think she would be in any way a "Sash". She succeeded John Reid which looked like a bonus to let her be a resolute Constituency MP but she was swept away in the 2015 landslide and I take some credit for that. Her role in SIU has earned her enough to keep going on the Better Together circuit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jedi Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The saddest part for me, apart from the economic self harm, is the loss of citizenship, ripped away by lying Tories, out for their own gain. The claim which was heard so often in the first Indy Ref was I don't want to lose my British citizenship/identity. Ironically, Independence doesn't mean that someone isn't still a 'citizen' of the island of Britain. However European citizenship rights have been stripped away by this putrid deal. Citizenship of the EU now means either a 5 year residency in an EU country, or Scotland being in a position to join, and then wait for approval. Its more than just what is stamped on the front of a passport. Its about shared rights and freedoms, which we enjoyed for 40 years, and have now gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jedi Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I know. Despite my being married to an Irish citizen (N.Irish, but counts under the criteria), a spouse can only become an Irish citizen through marriage AND a 3 year residency on the island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
