Scottish Referendum / Independence - Vol 6
Discussion
Strocky said:
I'm playing my part as we speak, what are you doing other than deluding yourself that the SNP will go away?
Don't really have to 'do' anything other than put the cross in the common sense box at the appropriate time.I seem to recall many mentions of 'the silent majority' before the independence movement lost the referendum.
All the noise, activity and propaganda from the protagonists didn't really help much did it?

Middle one showed that the only sector bigger than oil was the public sector, therefore, proving Henry correct.

I don't have a problem. You're the one who's having the comprehension catastrophes caused by paranoid delusions. The YES is strong in you, I sense.
Do you want Scotland to be an independent country?
Why don't you sit this round out, Champ Do you want Scotland to be an independent country?
I do wonder why the nationalists possess this trait. They tried it for one referendum and lost resoundingly. Why not just have a mature, sensible discussion? They might even get some rational, sensible Scots on board. Probably best to jibe away on the internet though.

Oil was, until recent weeks, the way that oil was going to be the way in which Scotland was going to drive forwards. Today it suddenly isn't.

Pleasing, very pleasing Is there anything that would make you of voted NO
And i mean anything
if a NO vote meant 25% of the population starving to death would it still be a YES from you?

You asked if Scotland had any other sector that was as big as oil at 16%, I posted the graph, you're still bemused, other than spoon feeding you.......Oil was, until recent weeks, the way that oil was going to be the way in which Scotland was going to drive forwards. Today it suddenly isn't.
The do keep up bean wasn't aimed at you either
The comprehension skills in this thread are frightening

Again the comprehension skills from some .......
Re your premise, it's stupefyingly ridiculous, even Ethiopia at its peak was nowhere near that sort of mortality rate
It's also ironic given that food banks have grown exponentially under the Westminster machine (whilst being lauded by out if touch right wingers as showing society cares)

Just wow.
Industries like oil etc. contribute to the economy.
The Public Sector is a (necessary) drain on the economy.
Note that Scotland is disproportionately dependant on the Public Sector - at 22% vs 19%. In cash terms this is huge, and a benefit of the union/Barnett hand out.
So IQ-limited you draw attention to things that destroy your own arguments.

You obviously didn't understand the nuance of the post, i.e. It's a good thing for future SI that supporters of the Union are sitting on their laurels, whereas YES are still campaigning

Instead on banging on about food banks
Go and fix the fking problem
The scottish government have had tax raising powers since it was built as they were given the power to alter income tax by 3%
they have used it exactly
zero times
