Pissflaps posted:I'd like to see the unphotoshopped original image but only the altered one seems to exist on google. I found one, but it's a bit blurrier.  To be entirely frank, it looks like it's a anti-OO banner (note how it says "their culture", not "our culture". That said, there's an Orange Order in Canada, where it had a lot of overlap with the KKK. Equivocating the two organization is 100% justified and accurate.

jBrereton posted:I for one cannot believe that calling for a referendum after a pisstakingly short amount of time since the last one would result in a minor swing away from the SNP. Man, even before the date for the first indyref one was set, they were saying they'd have a second referendum in case of Brexit.

Look, if you use a logarithmic scale and you don't start at 0, you can get away with a lot of stuff.

Niric posted:Also interesting to see the National pre-empting the debate by pushing the story that tax rises will just increase tax avoidance That's why you send the secret service spooks to assassinate tax dodgers and also forge their wills so that the state inherits 100% of their wealth. HTH.

Angepain posted:Really isn't all language mashed-up bullshit? Makes you think. Heck look at the English verb "to be": you have like four different forms that are supposedly the same verb (be/been/being; am/are, was/were, is). The explanation is linguistic is suppletion, the idea that you had several synonymous but separate verbs and eventually they got mashed together into a single one because people started to always use one verb for a specific person/tense combination and another verb for another combination. Also English is an especially mashed-up language because it's basically a creole of North Frisian, Old Danish, and Old French. Cat Mattress fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Oct 14, 2017 |

On the one hand, Brexit is a clear illustration of why Scotland's fate being dictated by the English is a terrible idea. On the other hand, Brexit is also a clear illustration of why separatism is a terrible idea.

Oh I'm definitely in favor of Scecession; but I do think Brexit is going to have opposed effects, as it will both bolster independence support to flee the clusterfuck that is Brexit, and also bolster union support to avoid compounding it with another potential clusterfuck. Which of these effects will be the greater, I have no idea. Cat Mattress fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Nov 19, 2017 |

Coohoolin posted:Scottish Labour just voted down a budget including a public sector pay cap raise and 400mil for the NHS because apparently even under a momentum candidate they can't get over how much they loving hate the SNP, at the expense of the country. TomViolence posted:Scotland, you never cease to disappoint me. So... ScotLab voted against leftist policies, and it's Corbyn's fault that ScotLab's support dwindles?

Pissflaps posted:Do we think this is a good idea? What are the chances of it being built? Personally I’d love to get the train to Dublin. As nice as it'd be to have a tunnel or bridge between both islands, there are many engineering challenges that stand in the way. For the Scotland-NI proposal, in particular, there's this in particular. Because of this, a longer tunnel or bridge between Wales and the Irish Republic might actually be simpler, and therefore cheaper. You can look at the Channel Tunnel to get an idea of how long it'd take before you can begin amortizing the construction costs. Keep in mind that the Channel Tunnel has a lot more traffic than an Irish junction would get, too.

Aramoro posted:Its not really disingenuous when the stats are there saying exactly that. Fewer people from poor backgrounds are going to university in Scotland as opposed to England. Yep, tuition is the only possible explanation. Let's campaign for setting tuition cost to one billion quid, that is sure to turn all the British lower class into Oxbridge graduates within the year.

Would there really be more places in university if tuition costs were like in England? Perhaps there wouldn't be an official cap, but a lot more poor people wouldn't be able to afford it. The results would be the same. The problem isn't that free tuition doesn't work, the problem is that other things are also required. That doesn't make free tuition in itself a bad policy. It's still something that is necessary, even though it's not sufficient. Basically we don't actually disagree.

marktheando posted:It’s the same issue with any universal benefit- some people get very concerned about middle class people who can afford to pay getting them. And then you get threshold effects. It's also hard to take into account details like area A having a higher cost of living than area B or person A having more dependents than person B: if you take such factors into account, the formalities to get assistance become much more complex to fill and validate; if you don't your system becomes unfair to people at the thresholds.

Aramoro posted:The EU are getting everything they want, negotiating with the Tories is going great for them. What you don't want is the Tories negotiating for you. The EU isn't getting what it wants, since what it wants is a coherent and reasonable proposal from Britain. And instead it gets a bunch of self-contradicting ideas combined with absurd demands. The likely outcome is a no-deal Brexit, which is also not what the EU wants, but if the Tories are insisting on shooting their leg off after they shot their foot off, more power to them I guess.
