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.

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"?

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.

Have a mate who arrived at the border in Malaga yesterday - he was in what he called the "Brexit losers" queue

What on earth is the utter garbage about social, cultural and political homogeneity about? Is it just a random selection of words lifted from a sociology book?

It's a bit that's been going for about eight years at this point by my count. Amazed it still gets bites.

He gets pished, self loathing kicks in and manifests as spiteful hatred of anything Scottish. I used to think it was a bit tragic but it's actually quite funny to see a lonely bigot in his 60s howling at the Politics sub into the wee small hours of most mornings.

Abuse, but you'll get away with it because you're SNP.

Or maybe you'll be made to change your name again.

"Made" to change my name

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.

What's wrong with what he said. NHS would appear to be under funded. The Scottish government has limited financial control.

Kincs is the first to start wailing about abusive "natters" before spending hours dishing out childish nicknames, borderline racism and plenty of misogyny. He's a confirmed bigot who has previous for overtly starting "protestant" countries are better run than "catholic" countries, because reasons.

Apparently the banner read

"Years of lies and corruption. Most drug deaths in Europe. NHS crippled. Union maintained. Thank you Nicola."   

Looks like they're complaining that the Union has been maintained

Also when you consider the wide news coverage of the Scottish Government trying (and possibly now succeeding?) in coming up with a pay offer that's acceptable for NHS staff, while the UK Government is practically refusing to engage with the NHS staff in England, it seems totally bonkers.

In the 2001 General Election the SNP with John Swinney as leader elected 5 westminster MP'S.

In the 2019 General Election the SNP with Nicola Sturgeon as Leader we elected 48 westminster MP's.

More significantly in 2001 the english general population were hardly aware of the SNP and Scottish Independence.

In 2023 the SNP and Scottish Independence are a major talking point, generally and politically, throughout england.
