Scottish Referendum / Independence - Vol 7
Discussion
More intellectual proposals from the seperatists...
Now Strocky do you understand where I am getting the description 'knuckledragger' from? The cap clearly fits.
Every time I hear the phrase 'people engaged in politics for the first time' this is what I think of. Cannon fodder sold SNP fairy stories to fight at the ballot box - no more and no less.

A Scottish Central Bank
So let me get this straight on creation of this bank they would take on all their share of legacy debt and then jointly issue any new debt online with BOE.
I support Bank of Wales bank of N Ireland and Bank of England could do the same too to ensure each area of the UK physically has the sovrign debt it owes within its own area and bank so IF any area did vote and elect to leave then there is no debate as to what debt is or is not going with them.

(The SNP's) manifesto argued Scotland should receive an extra £100m in BBC funding to "more accurately reflect licence fee revenue raised in Scotland"
More institutionalised lies from the Nats. The amount of funding received by the BBC from any territory within the UK is entirely dependent on the number of licence payers within that territory, unless of course Nicola Sturgeon is implying that there is a greater percentage of TV licence dodgers in Scotland, in which case the manifesto pledge of the SNP is stating that the rUK should make up the shortfall.More contemptible, opportunistic and ultimately antagonistic rhetoric, but the 'Gary's of this world lap it up.

So a TV channel is more important than those food banks we heard about a page or so ago?contango said:
The BBC proposal is typical of the SNP, we are entitled to and demand more out than we put in.
And on it goes.
Indeed. Antagonistic statements that do no more than play to their existing audience and aggravate everyone else. No-one new is going to be won over by this sort of rubbish.And on it goes.
The SNP climbed to where they are by demonising the opposition, but with the other parties changing personnell and personality while the SNP leadership sticks to the same old faces and rhetoric they will become the tired-old establishment. This is another reason why I believe we are seeing 'peak SNP'. Gains at the Holyrood elections are likely (but not inevitably massive if Corbynism gains traction - it might even sway a few of the 'Gary's) and will trigger another wave of publicity for them, but after that.......

Absolutely. Food banks are a symbol of austerity and Westminster oppression, and therefor must be preserved at all costs to maintain the SNP narrative. Talking about the BBC is a convenient distraction from the politcal reality of the SNP. Yet another cruel irony.nightcruiser said:
So just how will that work? They pay in 9% of the cost of East Enders etc then want to reduce that contribution by creating a BBC Scotland board so that rUK have to pay in more for the TV while Scotland get more...
Surely the solution is if Scotland want that then they can pay a higher TV licence to pay for it. Otherwise what is being cut to pay for it?
i've done both scotland and most euro resorts; tried aviemore when living in edinburgh, and also when in inverness quite recently. also glenco sometime ago, i recall the pass for the latter was £10, the lift system was 'basic' to say the least.
you can have a great day if the weather is kind, though ironically when they get a big dump of snow they are ill equipped to keep transport to resort going (even when the trains are still running).
unless you are in scotland or very near though, it can't compete with e.g. austria in any real way and is not really 'easier' to get to when flights are so easy/cheap. even from edinburgh it is quite a long drive.
try it, it will still be fun and it has s certain charm, but don't have too high expectation! if you go for a week expecting an equivalent experience to the alps you might be dissappointed.

Is skiing in Scotland in Early Dec possible or is it more like mid Jan?
Not sure if it's better & quicker and cheaper to go from London to Alps over Scotland. Interested to hear.
The Scottish slopes these days aren't guaranteed a decent snowfall. Although it's been better over the past couple of years, previous years were dismal.Not sure if it's better & quicker and cheaper to go from London to Alps over Scotland. Interested to hear.
If I were you I'd head for the Alps.

Loving how far off-topic we are going 
I reckon our antagonists have deserted us because it is slowly dawning on them that the SNP's constitutional and political aims come as a single package, and while they like the idea of the former, the latter is becoming harder to stomach.
Maybe they are starting to realise that the SNP played to the prejudices of it's followers for their own gain rather than the gain of the prejudiced followers.I reckon our antagonists have deserted us because it is slowly dawning on them that the SNP's constitutional and political aims come as a single package, and while they like the idea of the former, the latter is becoming harder to stomach.
Quite clever really when I think about it, they took the hatred of their followers and played to it, and the idiotic followers who bought into the whole Braveheart rubbish, walking around modern Glasgow in kilts they have nod idea was invented by an Englishman in the 16th century and bear no resemblance to what Wallace himself would have worn is really quite comical.
