    I wonder if you would feel that way if the Tories or labour were treated the same

    Are the Conservatives or Labour trying to undermine the UK?

    Yes... the tories are single handedly trying to tear the UK apart .... and labour are supporting them


    .. the SNP MP''s were voted in by the people of Scotland and the treatment they are receiving is a slap in the face for the people of Scotland

    But many are watching and many are getting angrier and angrier with the way they are being treated

    The uselessness of WM for the people of Scotland and the lack of respect for Scotland and it's people by WM ... will all help the campaign ahead

    I get the feeling it's going to be a very different campaign from last time

    Only SNP voters are getting angry.

    But why? Why are you angry? How can you possibly hope to affect change and be represented in government (or in opposition to be honest) when you're voting for a regional party. They will never be able to put in place the policies at Westminster you want because the SNP will never be in government at the UK level.

    Then there's the circumstance that the SNP are ideologically opposed to every other party in Westminster apart from Sinn Fein. And even they've found a way to get along with people who want to remain in the Union. It literally is just you lot, bellyaching and whinging constantly about how hard done to Scotland is when the opposite is the truth.

    You did this to yourselves. No one made you vote for this party. But the SNP is what it is, a seditious and mendacious organisation.

    Edit: Oh and by the way... the Conservatives and Labour are not the party making threats to tear the UK apart, that's the SNP. Because the SNP have made threats and those threats being ignored (rightly so imo) does not mean it's the fault of the threatened. That's like saying someone who gets stabbed in a mugging is at fault for being stabbed because they didn't hand over everything they had. The victim of the blackmailer is at fault for not agreeing to the blackmailers demands.

    Where do you get your reasoning from?

    You see you are wrong there and once again I have to explain to you ... I don't vote SNP ... I am not a member of the SNP either

    I didn't bother reading after that cause I imagine it was aimed at SNP members

    Because you're wrong about the Conservatives and Labour tearing the UK apart.

    I suggest you do read further on.

    1. By less than half the "people of Scotland" actually.

    2. I don't see anyone getting "angrier and angrier".......other than people like you on this forum, who through some kind of warped logic and distorted world view you see grudge and offence everywhere.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again; we get a fantastic, privileged benefit from being in the UK at the expense of others.

    Who will be the scapegoats in your imaginary iScotland when things turn to sheet.....people like me?

    I'm actually not angry at all ... scunnered at the treatment but not even slightly surprised ... I do meet people that are angry though and I ask them how this is any different from before ... remember I sit and eat popcorn and laugh at it all ...

    Nearly half voted for the SNP in Scotland ... the Tories have 1 MP here an yet Scotland is being dragged out of EU ... there is no getting away with that


    Didn't the Tories only get 27% of the vote in the UK ?

    Not bothered :)

    Just can't get my head around someone so committed to fundamentally changing our constitution, way of life and standard of living, (for the worse).....then jetting off and leaving us all to it.

    You could always go sooner...;)
