Boris getting heckled in Yorkshire is entertaining :lol:

We're told he's charismatic but that clearly only applies to speeches that he has control over or when he's with his class of people.

He looks so fucking uncomfortable mingling with the northerner peasants, like David Brent mingling with the warehouse staff.

They have long memories in South Yorkshire. When I was in Sheffield earlier in year they still had coal not dole stickers in pubs. At 2017 GE there was a huge billboard in the city promoting the communist party as it was standing a candidate and they were selling this ale. Not called the People's/Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire for nothing.

They study theology. I spent 6 months on a course post grad to get credits to be an RE teacher when I was thinking about going into teaching (I could do modern studies/history but wanted to keep options open), so basically had to get x amount of undergrad credits for theology. What a fucking weird bunch. As an atheist im quite interested in loads of religions but sitting in lectures where people would take a break because they were so overwhelmed by god and would interrupt to speak in tongues was a bit mad for me. The church of Scotland ministry students were the weirdest, all tories to a man.

Doesn’t sound too different to some of those away days in Ayrshire with the Bankies.

Was this at Glasgow? My girlfriend is on to her 5th year of theology based studies and it's less this than a guy averaging a 2:2 trying to lecture Mary McAleese on the Troubles these days.

That will be you censored. :lol:

In a one point of view thread you do get a lot of mutton, happy clapping, fist bumping and high fiving. Its a lot of noise and interference that goes nowhere without challenge through debate and understanding.

I might not agree with much that you post, but I acknowledge that this is your own opinion and a difference of opinion should be welcomed in a true healthy democracy as long as it isn't hateful.

I'd normally agree with you, the more perspectives the better, but a thousand near identical posts since he joined on July 12th (surely a coincidence) gets a bit wearying. Especially when he never retracts anything even when it's self evidently untrue; reasoned debate is not an option.

I hate it, therefore it's hateful.

Girlfriends sister is saying her traditionally Tory boyfriend is considering Voting SNP Because the EU is more important to him than remaining in the UK.

Wondering if any other Tories are also considering this?

Was unlucky enough to walk back into the room midway through the Tory party political broadcast just there.

They'd have been as well just playing the Sash and flashing their logo up at the end.

From what I saw there was no mention of their glorious leader whatsoever - they've obviously twigged that Bowwis isn't the vote-winner up here he appears to be down south.

They were too busy rambling on about the leader of another political party.

Yep, it was pretty much typical of Tory campaigning in Scotland over the past few years. No mention of Boris Johnson, no mention of Brexit. I didn’t count but I suspect Nicola Sturgeon was mentioned more than ten times.

 

Their only mentions of any policy areas were the NHS and education, neither of which are being voted on in Scotland in the election.

‘Two-party dominance of UK elections is fading fast’: SNP to take legal action over exclusion from ITV debate

The SNP hopes its legal challenge will be heard on 18 November, alongside a similar action by the Liberal Democrats

“We don’t want anymore division - we are proud unionists. Now let’s just get on with dividing ourselves from the European Union because the rest of the UK has told us to. And that’s great.”

 

Thick c***s.

Remember when Alex Salmond told us that he had expert legal advice that an Independent Scotland would just "slip" into the EU. Then after a legal challenge it emerged that he had no such advice and the EU said that an Independent Scotland would have to go to the back of the queue! 

Remember when Sturgeon and Salmond claimed that Scotland would be in a currency union with the rest of the UK and that the UK Government was bluffing when it said it wouldn't be. Now the SNP have dropped those claims and insist they'll use Sterlingisation while they get ready for the cost and expense of creating a new currency! 

Remember when the SNP claimed oil would achieve a price of £118 per barrel whilst even their own oil experts told them that figure was fantasy. Instead the oil price plummeted, and oil revenues have fallen through the floor. Had Scotland gone independent we'd have had to have made around £43Bn worth of cuts from what was pledged on the White Paper. 

Remember the SNP claimed that an Independent Scotland would retain the monarchy until Humza Yousef revealed that post Independence they planned another referendum to get rid of the monarchy. 

Remember when the SNP said that the Independence Referendum of 2014 would be a "once in a generation" vote. 

The SNP can't be trusted on anything. The biggest political liars of all time and a party who would destroy Scotland in order to achieve their ideological aims. They don't represent me. They don't represent the majority of Scots. The 55% who voted No in 2014 are the real patriots, the saviours of Scotland. 

 

You are an idiot.
