The 'broad church' of support behind the SNP has become fractured in the past few days thanks to the business rates re-evaluation and the tax-concession given to the Greens in return for the budget being passed. Several large party donors are seriously reconsidering their support....

Didn't take them very long to backtrack from that one!

Another incompetent blunder from the SNP. Did the threat of a Poll Tax-style revolt panic them into action?

Has Burger responded to this one yet?

He'll ignore it and post another link to a story from a SNP sympathiser painting the SNP in a good light while writing 'interesting' underneath it.

Hmm still zero from him.

SNP in talks over public buyouts of North Sea platforms

Or as one commentator on there puts it;

"please save our oil industry using English taxpayers' money so that it's still there for us to run off with after Independence!"

I've not heard anything from 'hard Tory Brexit' Nicalur about Copeland or Stoke. Surely one, other or both is yet more evidence of Tories ignoring the Scottish people and pushing us closer to an increasingly likely referendum? Hard Tory Brexit. IndyRef2. Hard Tory Brexit. And stuff.

I prefer to read these threads rather than participate usually, however exactly what you are attempting to suggest here by this post either kind of implies that every Scottish person capable of drawing breath either desperately wants to stay in the EU ( I dont ..... which is why I voted to leave on June 23rd last year ) or that in the event that this doesnt happen and Indyref2 is the consequence, that every Scottish person still drawing breath at that point is so mortally offended that they will then vote to leave the UK to a man ?

I wont, I voted to remain in the UK in Indyref1 and intend to do likewise if I have to drag my arse to a polling station yet again to tell people once more what they have have asked me to tell them already.

I like being part of the UK ...... I think it still is a good idea., now today in the 21st Century. Conversely, I dont feel the same about being part of the EU experiment and then having to reconcile why JCJ and his corrupt cronies are somehow preferable as a means of governance than TM and her sometimes perhaps misguided cronies ?

So there you go a Scot who doesnt think Westminster is st but is prepared to state that they think Brussels is ! Who would have thought it eh ? According to Sturmfraufuhrer Sturgeon people like me are not supposed to exist, but it,s not that cut and dried , is it ?


....I ll be back in a year or so for another rant ..... I need to build up to these things .....

I think there are a lot of people here who know that there are a lot of Scots like yourself, indeed a lot of posters are very pro Scotland and Scots but just despise Sturgeon and the SNP.

Personally, I have no issue with the SNP holding its ultimate goal and vision I just consider them deluded. What I really despise is the approach to stir up resentment and particularly where they pit Scot against Scot with their undertone that those who do not want independence from UK and/or want out of the EU are somehow not true Scots. It makes Mrs Garvin's Scottish relatives not a little hurt, saddened and embarrassed by the antics going on.

I think I need to move house.

I've got this prick, the director of Yes on one side of me...


And this turncoat tadger, defender of Trump's golf course pissing woman and former Better Together leading light on the other.

It does explain a lot but it means you are in a position of strength to put up anti SNP or Indyref2 signs on your lawn

[r11co]

Here's mine...



Exceptionally low profile in constituency after all the initial hype. Also has THE WORST record in the whole of parliament for replying to constituents' correspondence.

I'd be happy for you to borrow this and add red and white stickers for the purpose.

You could attach Union Flags and pictures of her Maj' to enhance the effect.



Stars and stripes would of course be the icing on the cake.

Wonder how they address this in the next white paper?

"Nicola Sturgeon’s economic case for independence has suffered another major blow after an expert analysis warned the cost to the public purse of decommissioning North Sea oil rigs is threatening to“wipe out” all future tax revenues.

Research group Wood Mackenzie warned taxpayers are facing a £24 billion bill for decommissioning oil and gas fields, 50 per cent higher than the official Treasury estimate of £16 billion."

Simple rUK will remove the super dipper tax on oil companies and allow Scotland to tax them instead.

Oh hold on..

Angus Robertson MP is apparently not above joking about people near Faslane getting cancer.

He's deleted it from Twitter but it's still on his Facebook page...

That's a spectacularly stty photoshop. According to the news we're back to "We want to negotiate a 'special' deal for Scotland, and when this 'moon on a stick' demand is tossed out by the EU it's neverendum time!" again.

I can only assume "nucliod" is Scottish slang for something.

I suspect the author was attempting to write nucleoid(presumably because it's related to the word nuclear), but as that would make no sense at all regardless of spelling it's actually slang for 'I'm an illiterate moron'.

It's not anything for anything.
