Alan Stubbs Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The Irish border situation back in the news. Will be very interesting to monitor that situation. Not only from a Scotland perspective but it may also provide an early indication of how serious they really are about a hard Brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 A Tory councillor has started a petition to make treasonable the act of opposing Brexit.Christian Holliday, member of the Guildford Conservative Association, is presumably so incensed by Remainers he is effectively seeking for them to face life imprisonment, the maximum sentence for the offence. The petition reads:Amend the Treason Felony Act to make supporting UK membership of the EU a crime.The Treason Felony Act be amended to include the following offences: - ‘To imagine, devise, promote, work, or encourage others, to support UK becoming a member of the European Union; - To conspire with foreign powers to make the UK, or part of the UK, become a member of the EU.’Guildford residents voted to Remain in the EU by 56%.Unsurprisingly, a tweet from Holliday promoting his campaign has been met largely with ridicule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with hanging? .. and a damned good flogging before hand too. Never mind that 48% of the UK and 62% of Scotland voted remain. We were just wrong! (.. and this should include anyone who thinks Boris Johnson has a silly haircut.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a completely shameless lie, we all knew it was a lie but they stuck it on the bus. How can you even imply it wasnt what they sold the public? Going forward, something has to be done about putting fabricated lies or statements on any campaign marketing. The way Farage laughed it off on Good Morning Britain the next day was a disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
