And 40% of Scot's voted leave...how do yo explain that.
Are they different from other UK leave voters?
Oh yes of course they are, they're scottish0 -
Keep the propaganda going though lads/ladies.
Trouble is, I don't think anyone is reading your guff anymore!0 -
Oh, people are reading Molly. It all depends on which side of the fence you sit as to which 'propaganda' you agree with. Or is it just Indy supporters who have any bias?
You made a statement which you have yet to clarify the meaning of. I think most here can imagine what you were insinuating. I'll assume you believe that particular 'propaganda' unless you prove otherwise.
Typical of you to say 40%. It wasn't and you know it. Should I just say 47% voted Yes and I'll get off with it without being pounced on for exaggerating.......
I'd refer you to the guff you posted last night. Pot, kettle.
Anytime, no need to thank me.0 -

Most here?
The 4 people that post pro-indy propaganda on a forum read by tens of thousands every day. Support for your cause isn't exactly causing the internet to crash is it?
For non- resident Scot's who follow this here like TT33, .string who have won the arguement over and over with you guys to the extent they have now become fed up with your intransigence and walked away; this is what it's like to live in 2016 Scotland, a daily nonsensical arguement with a minority, hard core group of fanatics who can't accept democracy, won't address the core issues, fail to understand that we are subsidised to the hilt by rUK, and minimise the ugly side of SNP nationalism almost to the point they deny it's existence.
A distrust of politicians, but not SNP politicians.
A castigation of Leave voters as racists, but not Scottish leave voters of course.
A call for "freedom" as if we are some kind of subjugated, colonised region of an undemocratic invader.
The list of inconsistencies, spin, bullying, (not on this forum) could be highlighted forever, but guess what, I've got a life
Leanne, no way in the world I would be considering thanking you; you are a nationalist, no different from other nationalists previously mentioned in the thread, philosophically, (but not personally as I don't know you), you are my polar opposite.
Sturgeon, Farage, Le Pen, etc etc.....Out of the same pod but wearing a different disguise to scapegoat their respective enemies.
Nationalism= politics of hate.0 -

Isn't that just how it is. Panic. You can see it all slipping away I suppose.
We voted in 2014 to stay in the UK, THEN in 2016 we voted to stay in the EU. It's only fair that we find out which union will win the day in another referendum imo. We're not stuck in 2014 forever you know.
Half of those who voted out of the EU did so on the basis of a vague distaste of immigration. You've got a fair sense of humour on you I'll give you that - with your tolerant, progressive country in describing the UK only 5 weeks after a vote such as the Brexit one was. Best laugh I've had on here for ages.
What are you insinuating people in the UK are by posting a picture of that poster from Farage? To me it looks like you're trying to say we're all intolerant racists/xenophobes/<insert derogatory term here>.
Do you want to qualify your statement? Give it some context?
I think you may have jumped the gun there and you may want to retract it.
I'd challenge you to ask any number of English, Welsh, Northern Irish and see if they agree with what that poster said and how they interpreted it. You'll actually find out Mollycat is correct. Apart from a few bad apples - and Scotland is no exception - on the whole people are generally OK with each other.
And lets also note the anti-English sentiment running through the Indy campaign. The more I look at social media in particular, where comments are not moderated, the more I'm seeing this anti-English theme. It may be a minority of Indy supporters but it doesn't make it OK. I'll come out and denounce that Farage poster, Britain First, BNP, EDL and UKIP. Fostering division as these political parties do is not the way to solve problems and tensions in our society. I see none of the Indy support castigating the anti-English brigade. Does that mean that anti-English sentiment is another string to the bow of the cause for independence? What is the explanation for the lack of vitriol aimed at these Indy-xenophobes?0 -

Here's some indy propaganda:

The independence campaign have tried to build narratives around these issues and those narratives have turned out to be false. Yet you still see independence supporters touting these issues about as a reason to leave the Union.
A mis-informed indy voter is not a good indy voter. If they vote for independence in a future referendum on the basis of these arguments, you'll have a lot more trouble on your hands than what you've got right now as a society when they realise what's happened.0 -
Ha ha ha ha a rant I like it
Not everyone supports the SNP... but you know this already ... i didn't even bother to read after that bit ...0 -
