Yeah, that's true, but we'd gone at least a page without stupidly petty sniping so it was just a shame when it came to an abrupt halt.

Ah, I don't think you were posting in here at the time? Regarde Aduck went on a massive rant about how pro-independence people are traitors to the UK and should be shot, and this is ok because we're all secretly English hating nazis who just want to see the rest of England suffer out of spite. Or something.

I've been lurking/very occassionally posting on the Scot Pol threads for at least a year, so would've most likely read whatever it is you're referring to. The thing you're dwelling on isn't all that memorable for everyone else.

Ah, that makes more sense. I tend to skim the UKMT because, honestly, it's mostly infuriating. Though it's a bit odd that you're relying on people knowing about (and remembering) this specific thing this one person said to you in another thread for your post to make sense. Otherwise, just so you know, it comes across as a bit whiny and self involved.

It's even better because it helps you realise exactly what kind of opinions Regarde Aduck has about Scotland.

I think Scotland is going to implement a load of really good socialist ideas? You wish. I'm as loving leftist as you are you loving idiot. My distrust of the SNP has nothing to do with their position on the left/right scale. Take your rich out to an empty field and knee cap them. Good on you. I'd never begrudge anyone a good righteous murder.

As for shooting traitors I believe I was addressing you personally. It was at the peak nationalism point of the thread where you and other SNP diehards were beginning to lose touch with reality. You and Spooky tried to make out that Scotland was somekind of victim in the UK's imperialistic history instead of the reality: Scotland was a giant engineer of the empire and benefited greatly. You yourself then went full radical and after proudly pointing out your Swiss heritage announced that your aim was the "destruction of the Union" like some kind of outlaw hero. Except it just made you sound more like a very poor foreign agent rather than a socialist leader. And yes, I declared that as you were likely just an idiotic agitator and nothing else, for you had shown not a single original thought and still haven't, maybe it was better for everyone if you were just put up against a wall and shot. Not because you were a traitor to England or anything so god drat trite (are you seriously trying to make out i'm an English nationalist or something? gently caress you.) but because you're just an empty headed student tourist who has nothing better to do than marx cosplay. I don't care if you're SNP or not. Anyone as stupid as you needs shooting. Before you hurt others.

I don't have a problem with the dialect, but that leaflet is a complete waste of money. For gently caress's sake, look at the last paragraph. "Information leaflets can be obtained from - oh poo poo, I'm meant to be doing the Scots version <takes several swigs of Buckfast> - fram yer ... jings, whit the gently caress does "glaekit" mean ... fram onnywhair near ye ... Och aye the noo." Call me old fashioned if you like, but I don't think official government forms should be printed that sound like a drunk looking for the best place on Sauchiehall Street to pass out in a puddle of what is hopefully his own vomit.
