The electorate just aren't sufficiently sophisticated to work out stuff like that. They have gut feelings and know what they want.

And they don't want Indy.

Jo La was a bit of a car crash during the ref. I did feel sorry for her, she was out of her depth and it showed. She never did recover and neither has labour.

The comments I saw were directed towards the English in general. There's always going to be nutters, just like UKIP. But no one calls them out on it on these blog posts. Either people agree or they don't think saying such things is an issue. Even you on here are trying to deny it or claiming it doesn't exist or that it's a tiny minority, like any of that makes it OK, rather than denouncing it and recognising that your movement contains this element.

I'm not a bloody idiot, I know what I read and as I said it's on there if you want to look at it.

I'll go and look and get back to you but logically to me it would make more sense that these people would be talking about politicians & those who hold power over us rather than your average citizen. What makes you so sure this wasn't the case?

I condemn anti-English sentiment just as I do anti-scots and that does exist too. Have you experienced anti-English comments on this thread?

she certainly was out her depth ... I think she regrets quite a lot of what she and her party did ... kezia will crash and burn as well ... she is even more out her depth than jo la ... rumour has it there maybe a Slab coup next

Ok, I've read through many of the comments( from the 1st posted right up till today) and as I thought the comments are directed at Westminster. A couple aimed at the britnat media but I never read one referring to English people. You'll need to specify a bit more detail for this to hold up Tricky.

But there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that Scotland will sit and wait until the UK negotiates and leaves the EU before having another referendum. In my view if/when Article 50 is triggered, by the end of the two years the word 'Scotland' will be completely removed from it.

This was apparently the position two weeks ago. Now we're down to - 'sturgeon will wait and see when the time is right'.
This level of back-pedalling is a real joy to watch.

And as for Hamish - the lifelong unionist who loves the union so much he'll ditch it as soon as it doesn't vote the way he wants. And the lifelong Tory who wants to live in in an independent Scotland that will never vote in a Tory government...

maybe Tricky equates WM with being English ?

Haven't read the piece myself though so...

We're all in a bit of limbo land at the moment with it looking like the Tories might try and kick Brexit into the long grass.

Simply isn't the internal infrastructure in place in Whitehall. As is a huge undertaking. Some politicians are trust worthy and keep to the wishes of the people. Not follow their own agendas come what may.

At the end of June most of us expected Boris Johnson as PM

Not down south. Never a serious contender.

I'm not trawling through to pick them out for you. I pulled some of the comments out in quotes in an earlier post.

If I did put the time and effort into doing so, it's not likely to change anything is it. They won't be reprimanded by the group thinkers on that blog or by any on here. There will be sidestepping and deflection, like we've seen so far.

I'm shocked by it, I'm not confusing Westminster, UKOK or UKOKAY or EBC (see BBC), WM, WoS, or any other acronym or snide remark made by these people. I'm aware of the meaning just by reading the comments, which is also the reason I took issue with the comments that were directed at English people and the lack of reprimand from their compatriots.

Instead of attacking me, perhaps you need to reconcile who you share your views with. Because it is there, contrary to what is claimed on here. If I find a spare hour or two I'll get them for you but only to save going round in circles around your and others denials.
