And the love just keeps coming ... I hope some posters remember this when they start accusing the yes campaign of being nasty cybernat's .... it will happen both sides I'm sure0 -

You need to stop reading that throwaway sounding board.
It means nothing. Sturgeon isn't evil. Westminster isn't evil (it's actually a place I am told!). May does not have an agenda to destroy the smaller UK nations. Aliens have not taken over the Greens.0 -

Also, a third of Scottish voters couldn't be bothered to vote on the EU issue. That's a really poor showing; Gibraltar shows what turnout is possible if you feel passionately about it.
It's a bit late to pretend these Scots have all turned into avid Europhiles now.
They haven't of course. It's just being painted up this way to support the aims of a separatist party in the UK.
Europe means nothing to many people in their ordinary daily lives. That's the truth.0 -

Well I would give you some credence if I hadn't been accused so many times on here of being anti English and that all the animosity is coming from the yes side from the's threads ... I'm just saying it goes both ways
The video I previously put up has been especially popular in Scotland0 -

I posted this question yesterday re EU membership and it is still unanswered so thought I'd bump.
If there is no proof, then there is no reason that the SNP can't wait until after Brexit.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

There is no way a certain number of people on here will ever believe that Scotland are not even members of the EU. If they are, can they please show us their bill for their subscription.
Should be amusing if they get admitted to the sinking ship, they would almost certainly be clobbered with a massive bill, the captain will be desperate to patch the holed hull.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

And remember last time that Cameron blinked first, and this time round May seems to be all about delaying it rather than blocking it. She might still block a section 30 but in reality, this is a lose/lose position for her to be in right now whatever she does as far as Scotland is concerned. While no doubt it would be a popular move elsewhere in the UK.
The Sewell convention is another matter entirely and I can't be bothered going into it again with you.
Incidentally you're going to have to work a bit more on those trade scare stories.;)
No, not scare stories, it's the truth from the Scottish civil service as opposed to the lies from the SNP and the independence campaign.
How is it anything to do with me that people in Scotland are too gullible to find and see the statistics for themselves than just believe whatever comes out of Jimmy Krankie's mouth?
I wouldn't be crowing or pleased that I'm misleading my compatriots.0 -

Please don't try to rewrite history for those who were there at the time and were subject to the endless you'll be out of the EU memes, stories, articles, headlines and tv programmes. They were all talking complete mince.
And as I've been saying re transitional deals and immediate aims.. from elsewhere.
That changes nothing.
Believing that there wouldn't be a Conservative government was a mistake, obviously with hindsight.
BT were correct in what they said, voters were aware that if the Conservatives won that there would be an EU in/out referendum.
None of what I'm saying is rewriting history, just correcting your perception of it. It's blindly obvious that you want so desperately to see it in a way which gives you 'broken Tory promises', 'nasty' Westminster, etc... to validate your beliefs. But its just not the case.
Better Together were correct in what they said, Ruth was correct in what she said since all the polls indicated that they (Conservatives) were going to lose. You've been hoisted by your own petard.0 -

elantan, I saw photos from Yes people on twitter the day Sturgeon announced she would seek indy2 that said "lets get out" along with photos of Jimmy Saville meeting prominent UK politicians. What do you think the undertone of that was? I didn't post it here because it's not worth the time, the same with the tweet you posted.0 -

You're just propagating rubbish.
I couldn't even bother watching to the end.
Leave these things to the Daily Mail. They are good at fauxrage.0
