BFTD Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Special mention for my very own father, who's currently frothing about "that woman" dragging Scotland out of the UK, where it will collapse without all of England's financial support. Actually wishing himself dead before independence so he doesn't have to see it happen. The man hasn't lived in Scotland in about fifty years. Seems to be a common theme with people who soil themselves over Scottish self-determination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely curious as to how that conversation went Did she tell you that she was a Teddy Bear, or was it the casual references to Papists and ******s that gave the game away? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk who don't go to football making football teams a big part of their lives have a serious want about them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my own family situation there are two relatives, both long based in Southern England, who are never done banging on about THAT woman and the living Hell that will be Scotland should she succeed in dragging us out of the Union.

As the SNP won two constituencies in the South region they lost two on the list, and she was ranked second. They also lost Paul Wheelhouse, which is a shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have worked but I worry that I'm contributing to all this division I'm forever hearing about I've spent years keeping the peace on this issue, but found myself casually batting away some of the dafter "arguments" without realising it, which depressingly do seem to amount to the "too wee, too poor, too stupid" stereotypes. Surprisingly annoyed with how every complaint seemed to start with "that woman wants to do <x>", so eventually snapped and pointed out that he thought Alec Salmond had Scotland mesmerised until Sturgeon took over, that we've been voting for pro-independence parties for a decade now, and fantasising about it being due to some Svengali figure corrupting our primitive minds is frankly embarrassing behaviour from a grown adult. It didn't go down well. Like yourself, I've clearly made a mistake by defending my divisive opinions and should have just meekly listened to my country and its people being run down by someone whose knowledge of us comes from the pages of the Daily Mail. But at least I shouldn't have to listen to that pish for a while again; we'll be back to the big Muslim/Indian/Chinese conspiracy against Great Britain soon enough 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of her where she wasn't sneering. Just occurred to me that it might be due to a medical condition, rather than general contempt for the human race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Enjoyable thread I wasn't aware of Neil Oliver's thoughts on independence until reading this thread so just googled them. Quite a hilarious input that could be boiled down to 'it's nae fair!'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Let's not go down the route of discussing how attractive or otherwise someone finds a particular female. It isn't relevant at all here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
