    NTS can decide whatever they like ... just like I can decide how to spend my money ... I don't see why you are having an issue with me and others choosing how we sped our money ... but you seem quite upset about it ... enough to even spend your money trying to counteract my spending

    Quite a sad way to live ... but your choice at the end of the day

    I don't imagine the last face of NTS was a Scottish nationalist either ... so I think maybe you need to rethink your stance on why people are leaving ...

    Can't cancel my NT membership, as I don't have one, but won't be watching reruns of 'Coast' anymore.


    Have to admit I stopped watching him years ago ... the Scottish cringe was reeking fae him

    If you look at my posts I have made no mention of how you spend your money. You are free to do as you wish with your money.

    Not in the slightest. What I do find strange is you constantly resort to the same tactic as a deflection by suggesting people are "upset" when they post things you disagree with.

    That does become a little tiresome and extremely dull and boring.

    I did find this a little earlier and it gave me a wry chuckle (ie not upset)
    Nicola Sturgeon says you cannot ignore 2 million votes. That’s strange because 2 million Scots voted NO and she seems to have ignored that totally.

    She really does believe that old saying:-

    "Do as I say not as I do"

    :)

    But possibly the even funnier bit is wee Eck having a go at David Mundell. I think wee Eck was found to be unfit to be an MP by his constituents.

    Well your upset enough to sign up and join the NTS ... but please keep kidding yourself on ... we can all see your obsession with the Yes camp for what it is ...

    Proud Scots will bide their time and strike when the iron is hot. They will grasp the nettle of independence. They care nothing for the stinging pain, and the early privations this will bring. They laugh at empty bellies and c(0)ck a snook at penury because there is no price to high and no suffering too onerous to fly the saltire.

    This is one party where every Scotsman will fight to reach the bar first, to empty his pockets and buy a round for his fellow countrymen. And another, and another still. For indeed, Independence is the greatest statement of, "all the drinks are on me," that had been seen in proud Scotland's history.

    Brilliant. Take the 'l' out of saltire and look what you get.

    Quite sad is not supporting what the National Trust do because of your political dogma.

    That's the long and short of it and if that's the real reason you cancelled your subscription when you had no issue paying before - you should feel shame.

    And what's left of the Scottish Tories are outraged because of the economic damage, apparently. We're driving off well paid jobs.

    And good riddance - let them frack somewhere that doesn't care about the side effects.
