    No guilt.
    No lie.
    No need for an apology.

    Most importantly, I'm not dancing round the flaming spiral mulberry bush anymore with you.
    I've learned that lesson.
    I hope you get the clear message now.
    That's a pretty big "not bite" and "not dancing" there. Guilty as charged m'lud too from what I see. Try not posting what you can't back up.

    Now cue reams of nonsensical belligerence, no doubt. So predictable.

    Nationalists still talking sh**e on here are they?

    Don't suppose I ever got a reply to the statistics ISTL wanted? Or perhaps didn't want once the truth was known.

    Bottom line is whether you like it or not, the union is hugely important to Scotland, in many ways. You will absolutely not be better off independent and outside of the union, that can be proven in many ways also.

    For every hypothetical positive there are multiple realistic negatives. These people are just not cogent lucid thinkers. They believe myths wrapped up in lies and proclaim that their truth is a better truth (as if that's even possible), the only truth that matters.

    For these people, that which disproves their truth is to be challenged, if that is not possible it is to be ignored.

    The average person on the street when confronted with the reality and facts, which we all agree they will never get as the SNP would not allow it, will see that independence is not in their nor Scotland's best interests. Which is hilariously ironic as what is in Scotland's best interests is a platitude that continually emanates from the minds of Scottish nationalists here, on the street and in the wider social media sphere.

    There is no hiding of facts.
    We accept there is no magic solution.
    Nicola Sturgeon says independence 'no magic solution'
    We accept there are challenges ahead.
    Who can deny that the best people to focus the required attention in the required areas for Scotland are the people of Scotland?

    If you cannot refute your statement or provide proof it is indeed a lie.
    Since you refuse to do so it must follow that you told a lie and I (and others, I suspect) will continue to point out when you attempt to do so.
    Case proven.
    Again.
    That message certainly is clear to myself and other posters here.

    That's fine AMSJ.
    If your happy with that, then that's good.
    It's not worth it to go round the flaming spiral mulberry bush again and again and again.
    I'm better than that

    Do you have a topical post you wish to discuss?

    Everyone has been out out in force putting you right all day from what I see.
    A topical post to discuss - you mean like you are? Not having a great time on other threads so try your belligerence back here huh? I can see why you had such a long break from posting.
    Like I said, reams of nonsensical belligerence and lo! ISTL did indeed provide.

    On topic, I see that NS has just talked about the policing and how Scotland maintained police levels whilst the rUK have reduced theirs.

    It's hard to see how the SNP position on security can be criticised especially given recent events

    She is on record as saying that her and the SNP should be judged on education. Let's do so on Thursday. BTW Police Scotland have not exactly covered themselves in glory since formed

    Scottish education isn't even devolved. It was simply never united in the treaty of union (300 years ago) in the first place.

    All devolution did was transfer responsibility away from Westminster's "Scottish Office" (based in Edinburgh) to the Scottish Parliament. The people affected can vote in the Scottish election relevant to that activity. But that's years away. Voting the SNP out in the Westminster election on Thursday won't get rid of any Scottish education ministers.

    But hey ho, let's all have a moan at the mysteriously over-popular SNP by whatever means we can grab.:beer:;)

    The Scottish tories are sounding like they'd regard 10 MPs as a triumph instead of a catastrophic landslide defeat. I guess to a party with that low a number of MPs that would be a glorious 900% increase. The SNP would have to blink back the tears about their 16% drop in MPs in the parliament they've stuffed with their B team. :rotfl:

    I met a young Scottish nationalist the other day in a work function and he was absolutely vile. There were drinks being served and perhaps he couldn't handle his.

    However, as soon as he assumed I was English he began using the foulest language imaginable about English people. Apparently we are 'all' Tory voting see you next Tuesdays.

    I said, excuse me, I am not a see you next Tuesday. And I have never voted Tory. A lot of us don't.

    On finding out I was Labour he became even angrier as apparently Labour doesn't understand Scotland's special snowflake status, or something and have never done anything for the country. Unsurprisingly I was treated to a spittle flecked rendition as to how English Labour voters are all see you next Tuesdays too.

    I was really taken aback by his hatred and racism actually.

    Put me right off Scots Nats actually. I assume they aren't all like that. But now I'm wondering if maybe they all aren't like they in the way that UKIPers aren't all like that too.
