GTee Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I assume the bloke will cross the border tomorrow if he goes to Tesco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTee Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 He wont be going for booze though. Too dear. Minimum alcohol price across the border, which he doesn't have to worry about in his country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTee Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Oh. Just realised he is crossing the border from Scotland to England for his messages. Maybe taking advantage of the cheaper booze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that many hundreds of thousands of Scots live in England and vice versa this is unremarkable. We haven't an international border to blight us. This is unlikely to change anytime soon. ScotchNattery - the idiotic idea that a bloke in Eyemouth should cross an international border to shop in Tesco in Berwick - is a busted flush. There are vast numbers of people from all manner of countries who live in England. Your argument there is utterly meaningless. However, it's far stronger than the one about your bloke in Eyemouth. Unless you're arguing that there should be no international land borders anywhere in the world, then you've, once more, nothing to say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because I almost guarantee you voted Brexit which is trying to impose this very thing on Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Borders are a bit of a pain, we need to be part of the Shengen Area so now we have to dump England. It's their own fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) rUK not being in the EU and Scotland being in the EU will probably win No the next independence referendum, no matter how tight the polls are at the moment. Well, it should if the No campiagn is competently run. Edited February 18, 2023 by sparky88 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You suggesting the No campaign will have a bus slogan along the lines of "we are too inept, corrupt and inward looking to manage a land border with an EU country"? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 There was an interesting banner held up by the Union Bears group today. It accused the SNP of "crippling the NHS". Therefore it was an implicitly pro-Tory message, running defence for the Tories via misdirection, by abrogating them of blame. I thought it was a good example of the working class Tory mindset. They vote Tory purely for identity reasons. British nationalist, militarist, royalist, etc. Yet they recognise voting Tory goes squarely against their class interests. So they solve that cognitive dissonance by just lying. By inverting reality in their minds. They create a fantasy where the Tories are not the governing party ideologically bent on ending universal healthcare. It's shite to think there's a sizeable chunk of the Scottish working class doing this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
