This is a silly post with little news value.

If after a couple quarters it showed we had better economic growth than England and Wales, on account of being in the single market, then it becomes a crazy easy sell for independence. "yes, these checks suck, but look what the trade off does for our economy, we could do this and more independent!" Etc etc

GDP growth is abstract; customs checks every time you drive down the road / hop on a train to visit family has a direct impact on your day to day life.

One of the worst things about Stuart Campbell is he just never stops. I feel like other assholes take a break, but he's always got some fight going and a crew of knobs to back him up.

I'm sure there's capacity in this thread to make fun of both Wings and Pissflaps. It would be nice if anything remotely interesting or novel ever happened in Scottish politics so we could talk about that instead, but I don't have a whole lot of hope about that one.

Reminder that he has at least half the UK D&D posters blocked because we dared ask him to maybe think again for saying Hillsborough was entirely the fault of Liverpool fans.

Continue to get confused and frustrated with me as I dance to your anger.

As I expect nothing more from ya you stupid runt!


The main reason I think is that Brexit has pretty much taken over of the majority of people's attention that Scottish politics isn't getting much attention because nothing noteworthy has appeared. (And if they have, It's poo poo I wouldn't of noticed)

I suppose what we could do is post poo poo about local poo poo if anyone's got them. There has to be something in this boring Country to talk about that isn't Indy/Brexit/Lolcoo Stuart.

Is Davidson not due to be on maternity leave at Brexit Day? If she's smart she'll take the full 9 months off and leave Jackson Carlaw to deal with the mess.

Yes but only because the wording means you can almost entirely ignore it. It's our hunting with dogs legislation all over but with less death, presumably.

Posting this in UKMT too.

Quick historical satirical theatre recommendation for any goons in the Edinburgh area.
If you are interested in a contemporary take on the First World War, and like your comedy black, you should get yourself down to the Leith Theatre this week and catch the performance of Karl Kraus' The Last Days of Mankind - written in the cafes of Vienna while the war was going on and including some gut wrenching details of what it was actually like. This version also features songs by The Tiger Lillies as a framing device. Excellent and moving production by a combined troupe from all over Europe but it's only on till the end of the week (no performance today so Tues - Fri is your lot). Saw it last night and was blown away. Does feature nudity and loud bangs, and backdrop projections of period photos of the horrors of war.

As she didn't attend the meeting I guess we'll never know the outcome, though given the nature of devolution I wouldn't expect the Scottish parliament to ever perform much of a role in Brexit in any circumstance. Some may find that offensive.
