Very much like "weapons of mass destruction"...... ....and look where that got us. How's about some respect for the democratic process and as Jim Sillars has pointed out on numerous occasions, some rigorously researched and argued policy rather than content free bluster and repetition that the world's unfair and everybuddy who doesn't agree with us is an idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, we should take lessons on the democratic process from unionists. Broke purdah rules, lied through their teeth, broke promise after promise. Where’s your sides respect for the democratic process? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ill founded generalisations and assumptions you make are worryingly intolerant. Do you imagine Scotland as a Confederacy, or a Yes for Independence as the beginning of a golden 1000 years? Well that's what you voted for. Thatcher, Major, Blair, Cameron before 2014, May, Johnson after, all bad for Scotland... the tolerance for Tory rule is high with loyalists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whi decides when we're there? You, another union at all costs belter? Or would you have London decide? None of the promises from 2914 have been met, NONE. In fact we now have EVEL, which is in effect political apartheid meaning English MPs can and do vote on purely Scottish items and overrule those chosen to represent us. How the f**k is rhat democracy. In fact while you lot all screech about NS, and the media build their hysterical efforts to bludgeon Scots into believe more lies and threats. Have a read at this, and I'm not saying RT is purelt impartial but its a damn site more impartial than the daily mail, telegraph or the BBC. https://www.rt.com/op-ed/493768-nicola-sturgeon-prime-minister/?fbclid=IwAR1-DXwKMvy7-wnzlMkIfRyJJd_x1YNQuv_-4AZUTg-pGHa2Krv8bDgQuL8 This entire article sums up unionist media, WM and their behaviour perfectly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be that die hard Labour would rather see the Tories in power rather than Scotland getting its Independence and choosing our own government who ever that might be. It will be the people living in Scotland deciding who we get. It has to be said since the promises that were made in the referendum and ignored by the Unionists the SNP have made their mark in General elections and Holyrood elections. Labour in Scotland didn't listen hence the downturn in their results at the elections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the article makes some reasonable points about the mainstream media's insistence on politicisation of the Scottish executives right to differ from London. Falling back on references to Hadrian's Wall and Logie Baird are a bit tiresome and setting up Starkey as in any way representative just to knock him down is downright lazy; a good example of exactly what he's accusing the media of doing. But Sweeney certainly knows his audience and has been well trained in shoddy journalism at The Times, Sun, Express and Daily Record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 This is awkward. What do you do when the most incompetent Prime Minister in history suggests too many care homes didn’t follow proper procedures during this pandemic; lending support to an argument you’ve made yourself? Do you double down and say “see I was right” or do you switch to “I was wrong. I’m not sure how, but I was wrong”? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often the YES side says WM is bad, not for conversations sake, but because its true. With the notable exception of the efforts of Ruchi Sunak (who has been better than expected) the whole handling of the crisis has been an absolute unmitigated clusterf**k of epic lroportions by WM. Brexit, se abbove, minus the Sunak bit. The vow, see above. EVEL, a good idea, but piss poor execution which has in fact just shone a massive spotlight on the deocratic deficit which exists, unless you're... English and the elite.
