Clear evidence the SNP and its supporters are professional diplomats, ready for the nuances and subtle delicate political interactions on the international stage.

If politicians got ASBOs, the SNP would be Olympic standard.
The issue here is while we might assume the snp and it's supporters turn a blind eye to the hate and bile etc we can't prove it. Burger will be along soon to point out that it's just hearsay and there have been threats on all sides etc etc. An that's the truth of it we have no proof just allegations. But as I have said before. If it's not about hate why do so many who support that cause seem to want to stop others speaking and prevent the truth being told.

Scotland is a great place but that's because it's part of a greater place not in spite of it. I wish many of the snp supporters could see past blue and red etx and see how great a nation we really are as a united force.

The clear evidence I was referring to was the bloke actually writing the blog. He doesn't exactly sound like a paragon of restraint and considered judgement himself does he? No smoke without fire, I suspect he is probably as loopy (and unfit for public office) as the potential arsonists. Snow-white I fear he isn't.

I once heard a guest on question time say the 95% of economists say that rent control do not work, and it wasn't challenged. I have heard and read similar many times each with a very high percentage.

So what do the idiotic Scottish Nazi Party want to do?

Yeah I did wonder how many times the author had accepted the bike an hate as gospel when it suited him over the years until it did not get his mate elected. Still someone did torch his car and the two posters who then say oh its bound to be an accident were trying just a bit too hard etc

*Salmond's alliance with Rupert Murdoch
Seems the cozy relationship is being maintained by his successor.

As I said several pages ago, the thinking nats have stopped posting here because they know they are defending the indefensible. With every day and every revelation it is becoming more and more embarrassing. The thick end of the electorate (the Garys) will continue to believe what they want of course (after all, it was the English who caused global warming).

I went back there a couple of years ago as someone told me that there was now a statue in the car park of a four foot nothing anti semitic Aussie who had starred in a crap fictional film.

The stunted tw*t had indeed been imortalised as described.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It's sh*t like that makes me embarrassed to be Scottish.

So minimum unit pricing really has hit the buffers.

EU rules anti trade.

So unless Scotland use tax rising powers to do it - imagine the cost in doing that... It simply will not happen.


Westminster stopped this years ago / realised it simply wasn't possible.




Grrr nasty EU telling us what we can or cannot do FREEDOM - Westminster are to blame look squirrel.

The sad thing about the film was even the true scottish victories were fictionalised (the wooden spears at stirling) but hey it gave the face painters an icon.....a foreign, antisemitic, alcoholic one...who I think was actually born in the USA.

While I am not english (I am welsh as it happens) my cleaners at Stirling used to ask me if I remembered Bannockburn (I have a southern accent having lived near london since I was 11).

Now at first I had no idea what the two hags were gabbling on about in part because I was not then fluent in Jockaniese, I mean who is this Ken fellow they spoke of so often where did he live (or stay to use the local lingo). Once I had got over the language barrier, and was able to converse with the pair of snaggle tooth's, I was able to retort that while I knew bannockburn was a popular tail I had, I felt, more affinity to Culloden.

Alas a friendship was never to blossom.

Wouldn't a simpler rule of decreasing number of licences premesis decreasing trading hours. Monitoring known publicans who serve those who are too drunk, shops who serve too drunk individuals.

Proactive policing so anyone drinking on the street is confiscated


Or not allow Sunday trading no booze in pubs or able to buy in shops

Or maybe some of the walking coranaries in Glasgow could just drink less booze, cut back on the Irn Bru and give up the fags, sweets, chips and fried food.
