Civic nationalism they say. Pro IRA fundraising in IRA bar the SNP and Co think is ok to be seen in.





Disgraceful I say.


That on top of his recent visit to the Basque region where he no doubt wanted to share a pint with eta.

Bizarre - even looks like a photoshoot with them behind the bar where the tin was planned to be visible.

Perhaps they thought those not in the know wouldn't spot it.

Someone needs to make a montage of the Nationalists basically paraphrasing better together slogans in the EU referendum run up. It's brilliantly ironic/contrary etc. Perhaps a quiz could do too - eg who said "the security and togetherness afforded by being a small but important country in a much larger entity..." Etc. Would really confuse the hell out of the Natzis.

Incidentally, I was listening to Radio Scotland today at lunchtime and they were doing the EU referendum "people on the street" segment. At around 1240, a man claiming to be a nationalist made an utter tit of himself - to such an extent that I think it mightve been Wigglebum/Wings_Over. I'll see if I can find it on the iPlayer as its comedy gold.

Best fact: SNP can set up an entire country's administrative infrastructure for £250m, but need £660m Just to set up devolved welfare powers.

HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE SNP!?!?!?!?

I'm against the Tories and everything they stand for, I'm very much a Scottish nationalist, yeah if DC want's to stay in Europe then I'm out (checks SNP buddy over his left shoulder shaking head and mouthing the word no) Erm, I mean I want to stay in Europe, as long as we don't take the Euro and keep everything as it is, that'll be fine.

Good job the majority voted to keep everything as it is then isn't it you sock trumpet?

Just WTF is that T Short supposed to mean?

The Scottish resistance! Really? I mean those imbeciles are comparing life in Scotland to say France under the 3Rd Reich occupation?



Meanwhile - brain drain escalates in Scotland leaving half word wandering the streets wearing stupid cheap t shirts drinking 90% beer.

Just published - from what I read so far this looks like a fair deal for all...

Historic funding deal will make Scottish Parliament most powerful of its type in the world

So UK government has folded on reducing Barrett by the level of increased borrowing and taxation power? At least that is what it suggests to me.

If so, I really struggle to understand how this is fair to rUK.

Surely this goes to a commons vote and if you lobby your MP accordingly and the settled will of your constituancy is a no to it the MP has to vote No and not his personal or the party view.

SNP MP's are not allowed their own opinion.

It's toe the party line or foxtrot oscar.

sounds to me like the SNP will borrow 3bn but not use extra tax powers unless its to cut tax by said 3bn basically a waste of time an effort an scotland will be no different.

What a crock of st. They've not bothered using the power they had already, so what's the point in more?

TBH I'm sick of hearing about Scotland, the SP, SNP, referendums bla bla bla. STFU and actually do something.*

  • Obviously I'd much prefer them to do nothing at all AND shut up, oh and disband the diddy wee talking shop but we can't have everything. Or anything where those twunts are concerned.

Just to be clear, the sentence you quoted was the headline which HM Treasury assigned to the story.

Are you considering voting SNP in May Edinburger? Are you concerned that they thought they could set up a country's administration structure for £250m, but reckon they need more than double that just to set up devolved welfare?

Personally, as I've said before, I wouldn't want them running my golf club finances.
