I still stand by my highly principled stand that this thread is in fact Scotpol The Fourth. Third, could be argued. This is the hill I will die on.

They're only against a divisive second referendum, so Boris will be doing everything he can to make sure the referendum is pretty much unanimous for independence. Division averted!

keep punching joe posted:Nah she needs to demonstrate to the voters that she has tried every conceivable method of keeping Scotland in both the UK and EU. The reality is though that independence will be required, and so hopefully Westminster will continue to display the current level of competence and leadership for the next few months until that can happen. If there was some magical way of still staying in the UK while getting the benefits of the EU then I'd argue it'd still be in Nicola's interests to take it. An indyref right now is still going to be a bit of a risk, the SNP have barely had time to rebuild their case after the last one. I think independence is going to end up the least worst option that's actually on the table, though, that's my Forums Poster Prediction

Jedit posted:No, it's for the much more prosaic reason that fascists and racists are cowards. They do their scrawling down at the beach because they can go there at 2am without fear that anyone will see who is doing it. I guess we'll just have to fight them on the beaches then.

Isn't vocal performance one of the criteria judges have to consider? I guess if you don't sing anything then you technically haven't hosed up the vocals any. Wikipedia says "No entirely instrumental composition has ever been allowed in Eurovision contests." but I'm not sure if that's just because nobody's ever been stupid enough to try. I will admit that part of me wants to see Mogwai subjecting people to With Portfolio for three minutes while Europe gazes on in horror, but then I hate seeing anyone enjoy themselves so

I don't really understand Europe's musical taste, but as a serious option Chvrches seem like they would be able to put together a nice song that wouldn't be entirely despised by modern audiences, despite their choreography likely consisting of "they just stand there, two of them behind keyboards going 'ohhh' on occasion"

Extreme0 posted:The Labour voters voted to Remain more then the SNP voters. Statistics pedantry time: unless you're looking at a different survey than the Ashcroft one, there was only one percentage point in that, which sounds likely to fall within whatever the margins of error were. Actually, was there a breakdown of Scottish Labour voters? Might be an interesting question. (e: no there wasn't) Autonomous Monster posted:Hitting out at the SNP for not reaching out to Leave voters after the referendum. This does sound like a bit of a contradiction, though.

I guess a lot of people are probably taking a wait-and-see sort of approach? I don't think it's likely that the Tories will approve of a deal to get us in the market and with free movement but if they do then that would take a lot of the urgency out of it for most people.

I dunno, I think "these people might vote for me so I should make statements defending their interests" might be cynical politics but doesn't quite reach the level of "cynical poo poo" in my eyes e: especially when the interests she's defending is in line with the political messaging she got elected on i.e. hooray for europe and immigrants Angepain fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Aug 19, 2016 |

Acaila posted:I'm quite smug about being teetotal again. Well, in my experience soft drinks are just at silly prices rather than ridiculous ones. I guess you could drink water for an evening, as in, it may be theoretically physically possible for a person to do that. But where then would you get an unhealthy quantity of sugar to block up your pancreas with? Nowhere, that's where.

forkboy84 posted:I bet that story on the front of the Daily Mail isn't based in reality. I just read the cover in a shop, according to the first paragraph it is a 10-page report about printers, but the bit about minorities is just one part - how long, I don't know - that ultimately concludes that there would not be any issue of discrimination. My own personal guess that it's a standard form document used for many purposes that includes a section on potential discrimination as standard and some guy in an office has just written a version of 'it's a bunch of printers so we'll probably be fine' in however many words are required. An organisation the size of police scotland probably has a lot to print off, so I can't say I'm that concerned that somebody has been paid to think about printing for a ten-page span or so. I'm more surprised that the police pay people to think about issues relating to discrimination, amirite, amirite, hey-o

Also, I think it must be a viking import as the scandies have an excellent track record w/r/t making unappetising meals out of things most sane people become nauseous at the mere prospect of ingesting. haggis is fantastic and you're wrong, but on your other point we came up with the deep fried mars bar so i think we're just as capable of culinary horrors as the next people group
