| 21. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 17th May 2024. 09:06 We Scots must have more stereotypes given to us than any other nation and a lot of them are contradictory. Depending on circumstances we can be canny or gallus, dour or party-loving, mean or generous. When it comes to independence I think `feart` is as good an adjective as any. Some Scots are looking for a degree of certainty it`s impossible to give and one which cannot be given in regard to any form of government but the old adage `better the devil you know than the one you don`t know` seems to apply for some.

| 22. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 17th May 2024. 12:38 As much as Scotland is "feart", England is "daft". They blame Labour for the economy and migration but ignore it`s been far worse under the Tories. Reply |
| 23. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Fri 17th May 2024. 13:58 From my experience of living and working in England, the simple truth is that they have a remarkably high opinion of thenmselves, largely due to the fact that they have never been forced to reflect on their own Imperialism. The same can be said of Contemporary Russia and their actions toward the Ukrainians. Funnily enough, they like to call anyone who tells them their system is ridiculous "entitled". I found much more in common with my fellow Swedes and the Danes across the water, the Germans and the Dutch than I ever found in common with the English. Nae doubt though in the eyes of dinosaurs like Parboiled and Tad Allagash that will make me "anglophobic" but we can live in certainty that their world view is dying out, which is all the better for humanity.

| 25. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Fri 17th May 2024. 16:46 Oh, the old defensive quip - very telling! 😂Surprisingly not though Tad - more a sense of humanistic decency which is acutely absent from Imperialist British Nationalists like yourself! Reply |
| 26. Author: Wotsit Date: Sat 18th May 2024. 15:20 You`d think a Nat-C like Tad would be more cautious about broaching the subject of historical atrocities. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 27. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sat 18th May 2024. 18:57 Oh, but Wotsit my dear fellow, it`s far more satisfying for their egos to focus on the mistakes of the Scottish Government and engage in a propaganda campaign. While it is absolutely right to scrutinise government, let`s make no mistake that this is simply intended to distract attention from their leaders` own ties and vested interests regarding Russian Oligarch money, weapons supplies to the Saudis, cronyism in domestic public contracts etc etc. I`m based in Hong Kong at the moment and the Imperialist attitude that you get among a lot of the English ex-pats out here is just...unreal. Even the Americans here are far more grounded! Then you have Rishi Sunak trying to say that supporters of Scottish Independence are on the same level as Putin and the CCP. It really does make one think that these folk are a special type of special. Then, when you see Orange Lodge men wae law degrees like Murdo Fraser in the Scottish Tory ranks, it simply confirms the hypothesis. I saw a clip of Jacob Rees-Mogg was on GB News the other day begging Nigel Farage and Richard Tice to enter into negotiations with the Tories so as not to split the right vote with ReformUK. But this is apparently because the changes to the constituency borders have put his seat at risk. Gotta smile! If we do end up with a Labour minority or Labour/Lib Dem coalition in Holyrood again in a year or two, I reckon Scots will see very little change and quickly realise that a lot of the problems in Scotland are down to the overarching economic failures of the UK. Scotland would do far better to stand with the collective might of 450Mn of the EU27 than to continue to deal with a UK in terminal decline, hamstrung by England voting to economically sanction itself out of ill-founded nationalist pride. The sad thing is the amount of time being wasted delaying the inevitable and the effect this will have on future generations of young Scots. Do folk like Parboiled and Tad Allagash care? Naw because they`re awright! Genuinely shameful. Reply |

| 29. Author: Wotsit Date: Sat 18th May 2024. 20:16 Just a shortning of "National Conservative" Tad. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 30. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 18th May 2024. 22:47 Wotsit, Sat 18 May 20:16 Next question - what`s a national conservative? 😂 Reply |
| 31. Author: Wotsit Date: Sat 18th May 2024. 22:59 Nat-C-ism is faction of the right wing in many countries which focuses on "traditional values." Reform and a significant faction of the Tories represent those values here. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 32. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 00:34 Let’s just hope the Chinese Communist Party aren’t monitoring Hurricane Jimmy’s posts whilst he’s in Hong Kong 😂 Reply |
| 33. Author: PARrot Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 00:59 wee eck, Thu 16 May 19:00 When you suddenly, unexpectedly find yourself in a situation where you desperately need the services they are supposed to provide, you realise sharply how important competence is. I voted for SNP regularly over the past 10 years or so. Not the next time, though.  Reply |
| 34. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 01:11 What makes you think any of the alternatives will be any more competent? The Tories at Westminster and Labour in Cardiff aren`t doing a great job. Maybe there are other forces at play. Reply |
| 35. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 06:33 Oh dear Tad, like all Tories, you are desperate to deflect from the point wherever possible. How about actually addressing some of the corruption within your party? Or are you suddenly "not associated" with them? I guess you`re also showing your age there when you`re not aware of VPNs! 😂 Reply |
| 36. Author: Parboiled Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 11:23 Separatists in retreat in Catalonia and have collapsed in Quebec , the oldie votes dying out... Same here methinks! Reply |
| 37. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 17:46 I guess Parboiled expects us all to ignore the English separatists who ostracised us from our European friends and caused untold economic damage. These are the same folk who are now greetin about the SNP apparently failing to address a "Cost of Living Crisis" that they created... Deflect, deflect, deflect - Nothing to see here! Reply |
| 38. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 19:19 I remember Parboiled proudly boasting he didn`t have a a millilitre of Scottish blood in his veins but that hasn`t stopped him being infected with the Scottish cringe. Reply |
| 39. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Sun 19th May 2024. 20:48 Parboiled, Sun 19 May 11:23 Exact opposite here… Oldie votes dying out will positively affect the Yes vote.  Reply |
| 40. Author: Parboiled Date: Mon 20th May 2024. 06:32 What is the Scottish cringe? Symptoms? Is it curable ? Reply |
