The only thing the Central Belt had a surplus of is gentrified town centres. It's all still Scotland, chief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see England as a colony is a bit much. However, thinking that the Wendy House Council can 'revoke the Treaty of Union' did give me a laugh. As posts like this often prompt me to say: The less you know about Scotland the more likely you are to be a Nat. I agree with you in a way that the Scottish parliament is a wendy house council, especially after the uk supreme court overuled a unanimous decision by the wendy house council. The ruling confirms we are a colony in all but name, the parliament that the people of Scotland voted for was overruled by the English supreme court. (Supreme court again is a breach of the treaty of union, but there we go) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth840 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Kincardine, I want Scotland to be normal and independent, you wish to remain part of the union. I respect that. Alex Salmond brought us near in 2014, and Nicola Sturgeon has not made any progress on the huge support in 2015. I am no fool, I know Scotland wont be independent, because our FM (nor any others in her cabinet) have the balls to go for it. They already know they can resile the treaty of union, but they dont want the aggro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a quite common way to describe the current situation in the big island that makes up most of the UK. I'm unsurprised that you pretend to be unaware of the term. It's usually used ironically to describe the current shitstorm. HTH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping up with you ScotchNats and your weirdo ways is never easy. Well, you will insist on trawling Twitter for extremists who back up your views and allow you to feed your sense of grievance in lieu of, you know, having a real life. It’s small wonder you have a warped perspective of things. Quite why you feel the need to come and spew hatred ,like clockwork, every lonely weekend is anyone’s guess. One can only assume the echoing silence of your non-existent friends in England becomes too much and, for a blessed few hours each Friday and Saturday night, you can aim some gall at those damn Scotch Natch (hic) and your screams can die down to a whimper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ho ho, this evening has shown that you can't defend the union without descending to name calling and insults. Best sit and have a thought about that.

You're surely not going to contend this? The only area of debate is how much it's fueled by hatred and how much by ignorance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
