    The idea of rosey cheeked, pie faced Brexiteers, polishing their jubilee biscuit tins, dressing their stupid little dogs in Union Jack waistcoats and celebrating the biggest tragedy to befall young people in generations makes me physically sick.
    Running out of ideas?
    ruggedtoast: "Little Englanders are foaming at the mouth with excitement today.

    They are polishing their royal biscuit tins, displaying their Charles and Diana tea towels and taking their small dogs out for walks in little tartan dog jackets to buy a celebratory Daily Mail.

    But they will be stymied yet."
    As that was only two days ago I will remind you that my reply then was:
    Little Englanders are foaming at the mouth with excitement today whilst Remaniacs are pushed further into an unaccepting despair.

    They (the Remainiacs) are [STRIKE]polishing[/STRIKE] repainting their royal biscuit tins, [STRIKE]displaying[/STRIKE] burning their Charles and Diana tea towels and taking their small dogs out for walks in little [STRIKE]tartan dog[/STRIKE] CND jackets to buy a celebratory Daily [STRIKE]Mail[/STRIKE] Star.

    But they will be stymied yet.
    Is your memory not what it used to be?

    sadly, when one reads your toxic hate filled rants, one can see why the nazi managed to recruit concentration guards, how the soviets staffed their gulags, how young maoist smashed the heads of their teachers and polpot destroyed 25% of his population.
    one needs to look on and be afraid.

    Blimey after seeing the Tory conference today I'm surprised you could post all that with a straight face.

    They've made Brexit ALL about immigration control. Foreign docs getting the boot and EU nationals dismissed as 'negotiating cards'.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    it is a sad day when people equate nazi concentration camps with deciding on the level of immigration that is beneficial.

    your sole and only motivation is the wealthfare of scotland : if you didn't think immigration was in your best interest you would be TOTALLY against immigration, just as you were TOTALLY against helping the Yazidi from being sold into slavery.

    Them all being in the same place obviously helps, but that place needs to actually be viable. If tariff free transactions stopped being a thing, then it may make sense to split/move, in which case they'll find a way to continue making money.

    This is terrifying stuff from the Tories today. Sent a shiver down my spine reading it I have to tell you. Really dark and horrible connotations with history. Scotland wants nothing to do with this sort of malarkey thankfully.

    You're in for a rough ride fella, Mrs May is wildly popular and more so by the day, as she is at last a breath of common sense attuned to the bulk of people whether it be seeing off greedy ooman rights lawyers after our soldiers, or tomorrow laying in to the filthy sanctimonious liberal elite that have dominated the national tone for far too long. As I've been saying to John in discussion time for two years, Labour are a creed of detached sneering, snobbish arrogant and often aggressive nasties that cannot stand working class people, and the same goes for the LDs. I see SHami Chakrabarthy has been trying to get her child into Eton and Thornberry owns £4 m of property we know of but wants to deny the right to buy for council tenants. These people make me vomit, the lot of them are nothing but vain glorious, shallow virtue signallers that have not the first clue how to run this nation

    Patriotism and putting the existing population first in accordance with genuine fair play is nothing to be embarrassed about and people of the shallow virtue signalling variety have absolutely no monopoly on compassion, in fact they are typically hypocritical arrogant snobs that look down on others. They celebrate denuding very poor countries of thier vital medical skills, so that these over entitled sanctimonious cretins can tell everyone how they love celebrating diversity without a thought for he desperate people left in those developing nations. Yuk


    Thanks to arrogant lefties, companies got a green light to stop training UK youth and being involved with schools to prepare kids for the roles that needs filling. Let's all celebrate cheap ready trained foreign workers instead. Disgusting moral Cali ration

    While I can see what you are trying to put across, these sort of headlines based on purely ethnic/where one was born/comes from/ grounds have gotten a lot of people really, really frightened if social media tonight is anything to go by.

    There's too many shades of history there with this. I'm a Scottish independence supporter but this is never ever what Scottish independence is about in any way, shape or form.

    what would the iscotland immigration policy look like?
    -unlimited immigration?
    -unlimited refugees?
    -immigration in the best interest of scotland?

    what would scotland do about illegal immigration?
    -take action to eject illegals
    -welcome them to stay for ever ?

    as you know many EU countries require foreigners to register with the local police : what do you think about this
    -ok why not
    -refuse to join a vile EU that requires such practices?
