Nah not campaigning ... just having fun watching what's going on ... nowt wrong with that

Can you bring yourself to do it without lying? Or is that just part of your 'fun'?

On a different note I'm shocked that Joanna Cherry, a QC if I'm not mistaken, on BBC QT is so mendacious as to claim the SNP has a mandate to call another referendum for the whole of Scotland because they got 46% of the Scottish vote, leaving out the turnout figure of 55%.

On live TV no less, I'd love to be in the audience when these SNP people are up there.

So many questions asked of elantan and so few/no answers...a bit like the SNP I'm thinking!
Cue 'I swear I'm not' a SNP member/voter/or have ever been claim!

If the 'YES' people in real life are so easily 'called out' when they lie as elantan has been (and refused to reply) the Union is safe. Keep posting your nonsense elantan...your work for the 'No' campaign is welcome!

Waffling today........

Ms Sturgeon claimed that the UK government had "sunk the Brexit ship" and was now seeking to "puncture Scotland's lifeboat", and that it was like "going back to the bad old days of Margaret Thatcher".

Given Nicola was only 9 when Mrs T became PM and 20 when she left office. Getting very political. Which suggests is getting frayed around the edges. As surely independence for Scotland should be a non political decision as was the case with Brexit.

I'm assuming elantan had about 10 posts for every one she made today though I haven't read through. Give her a popcorn break, we all have real lives outside this forum you know.

Yes people in 'real life' are about 47% of the current Scottish electorate. Not a fringe, not a minority just ordinary people and voters like you. They just don't want the same Government as you do.

Can one of the yes supporters please explain this:

In 2014, the SNP told us, this was a once in a generation referendum. Fine. We all accepted that, we had our vote, and remain won.

So why should anybody be ion the least bit surprised when we are told it is simply too soon to have another referendum. Clearly 4 years is not a "generation"

So what makes the SNP even begin to think the time is right now? or were they lying in 2014 when they said it was once in a generation?

A change of leader, the 2015 General Election where the SNP gained 50 MP's from their previous 6, the Holyrood election where the SNP got more votes than Labour and the Tories put together, and with the Greens gains on the list a pro-independence majority in Holyrood. A manifesto with the words 'referendum.. if Scotland taken out of the EU against our will'.. then the Brexit vote.

Scottish and UK politics didn't freeze frame in Sept 2014.

Question to our Scottish friends - Is the Growth Report some sort of secret report only to be known to the Scottish Government?

It's an SNP Commission and report. Up to them when they reveal it to be honest. Andrew Wilson has been on twitter numerous times saying that those headlines were definitely not what he said.

You can take your tinfoil hat off now.

The comments came out in Holyrood magazine.

I find it interesting that they would make it up

I think someone is making something up and I'd doubt Holyrood magazine has Union leanings. Especially since Andrew Wilson tweeted himself that GERS would underpin the work they do. Chimes in very nicely with the absolutely obvious observation that there's a massive deficit that needs to be dealt with according to GERS.

So many coincidences, but sure, they never said anything of the sort
