    You're splitting hairs and I can't be bothered with your boring insults. We can all see what the Tory party in Scotland is trying to do in it's recent leafleting campaigns.. and it isn't exactly shouting vote Tory. It's shouting 'VOTE RUTH DAVIDSONS CANDIDATE'.

    Both those leaflets contain the words 'Scottish Conservative' in the header. Why do continually feel the need to not be truthful?

    It's a well-known fact that the general public read small print much more easily than large bold font titles.

    That's why drug companies always label their medicines with their terrible side-effects and put their positive effects in tiny paper inserts inside their packages.

    Therefore parents dose their sick children with liver failure inducing tablets because the small print mentions they may reduce fever and pain during infant infections.

    Or unlike the Tories, do even the much-maligned drug companies do it other way round? :whistle:

    There's the metropolitan elite writ large for you; openly admitting they think the rest of us are unable to read leaflets properly. :D

    There are loads of opinion polls about Scottish Independence. The Westminster Government and the Scottish Government do them regularly


    I wont be doing any marches any time soon I have better things to do!

    free tuition fees

    How is that working?

    Scottish students are being shafted.

    Scottish Universities are capping undergraduate enrollment for Scottish students to increase revenue from RUK and overseas.

    On some courses less than 10% of Scottish applicants will be offered a place.

    So you now want independence to be decided on the turnout at marches?

    Mind you I suppose that is how it started in Germany in the 20s........that didn't end well :cool:

    I'm thinking your trying to pre-empt the low turnout for the unionist side ;)

    No you did not.

    You implied it though didn't you! Just another attempt at muddying the waters.

    Mind you your guns are now spiked you can't really start harping on about attendance figures without looking a fool.
