Why is there so much anger on this forum?

It really is a very bilious place.

Prove me wrong about the ignorance then and address the points I made about the "Business for Scotland" meme being passed around on #ScotRef.

And then about the points I made, recently backed up by Kevin Hague + 2 economics professors, regarding the GERS statistics being completely adequate and in line with other statistical analysis on economic output.

Is the meme correct or not?

Are Kevin, the two professors and myself correct about the GERS statistics or not?

And why.

Because from where I stand/sit the meme is a slam dunk propaganda piece and Richard Murphy appears not to know his backside from his elbow and probably ought to worry about his career now (and he's a Corbyn advisor! ).

Robertson saying 'Scotland will have it's referendum' to a standing ovation. So I think we can safely say 'something' and a plan B was planned in the event of May trying to delay it.

Resolution three on Voting Franchise now at #SNP17 conference: extending the votes so that "anyone who makes Scotland their home can vote"

Also the motion above I mentioned on EU citizens etc voting in Scottish franchises was passed overwhelmingly. So hopefully that will go to Holyrood as a bill soon. Wouldn't want anyone missing out on voting who voted in the last referendum now would we.

I don't think Scottish Independence is going away soon. I can't see why they'd keep voting in the SNP if they didn't want it.

Because people were fed up with Scottish Labour 'divine right to rule' attitude. I doubt if I'm the only person who has voted SNP previously but voted 'No' in 2014

Why have you posted such an inane comment? Is that because you've been called out for lying and it's now all you've got left?

Replying to an inane comment . It seemed appropriate really

Having a illegal referendum would be beyond stupid.....if you want the EU to take you seriously....

....but have an illegal referendum and see how many friends you have then....

....what will you do if nobody turns out?

....what will you do if you lose?

I don't know much about meme's and while the tweeting spat between Murphy ( who blundered into the whole thing unaware via a simple tweet ) has been entertaining. Neither of them can be proved right or wrong. Hague talks.. obsessively it seems.. about GERS and the figures within them. Murphy, thinks the very data which forms GERS is unreliable, relies to much on estimates and extrapolation and could be manipulated to suit, let's just say an 'end point'.

Who knows who's right or wrong.

Here's a good meme for you though, because while we never hear enough about 'one in a generation' we never seem to hear about Ruth's wee proclaimations. Is this meme correct or not ?

It won't be illegal, it will be 'advisory'. And might well be a General Election on an independence ticket instead.

see how many friends you have then....

Probably more than the UK is going to have in a few weeks time.

....what will you do if nobody turns out?

Half of Scotland will.

....what will you do if you lose?

Accept the result. But won't agree with it obviously and then get on with day to day life like I usually do.
