Extreme0 posted:Is Gibraltar a nice place to go for a hoilday? I've been there once and it was quite nice. Yes it has monkeys which are always cool. It was a bit like a sunny UK tbh only the people were much nicer. I had an idea they'd all be lovely snobby expats but it didn't seem that way at all. Basically it's the med only you can shop at Morrisons and it has monkeys.

PiCroft posted:I strongly suspect that a second indyref would fail to pass. Emotions are high right now, everything is in flux and the dust is still settling - when/if a second ref comes about, we'd necessarily have to revisit all the old arguments that sprang up in the first one (albeit with the EU situation significantly changed). Economics, currency (really, would Scotland want to change to the Euro? I'm not entirely sure), the deficit and building a border between us and England. England is only going to get worse so i'm not sure why you care about building a border. England is done. Even if the economy somehow manages to stabalise its never going to reach great heights. And you've seen the voice of the average English via twitter now. They're insane and don't actually comprehend what they've done. This is not a country that going on to great things. I suspect anyone with intelligence and the means will leave the country as soon as possible. I guess that's one part of the plan successful. No one wants to come to England anymore.

What's your agenda here Pissflaps? You agree that Brexit is a bad idea. Why are you now opposed to Scotland getting to remain in the EU? Do you truly believe they'd be better in this sinking ship? You seem keen that Scotland doesn't get away. This is much different that before when the UK was a strong working entity and it made little sense to break it up. Now it's broken anyway. We're going to lose our banks, our few industries and our service sector. We're done. What has Scotland got to lose by jumping ship?

Looking forward to leave voters chanting "this is fine, this is fine" as the top of the UK falls off.

Pissflaps posted:If the UK is hosed then so is Scotland - with or without Independence, in or out of the EU. There is a difference between being hosed under the Tories and hosed under the SNP within the EU. The Tories will make sure the poorest bare the brunt of Brexit's downsides. They will still have human rights while someone like Leadsom is busy removing ours in order to wage her war on political correctness. What you're actually saying is there is no downside to splitting. If the UK somehow pulls back then they will still be a valuable trading partner with the EU, including Scotland. If they stay hosed then at least Scotland can look after its own and protect things like health services while the UK ravages itself.

big scary monsters posted:Denmark seemed pretty miserable while I was there - grey, rained a lot, people all looked glum. Basically it and Scotland would be a perfect fit. I was in Copenhagen recently and I rate it "not as nice as Oslo".

I find it most odd that the taste for independence has gone now that there is a very real reason for it. It was a good idea to split from a financial heart of the EU but it's a bad idea now we're a sinking ship of no use to anyone?

I loving hate fishermen. I never knew this until brexit. Just murder all the birds while you also overfish yourself into joblessness you horrible pricks.

I'm not sure i'd count it as a good thing that the Express is silencing people for disagreeing with their blatant race hatred. Rev. Stu or not.

I think you'd have to wait till Article 50 is activated and everything does or doesn't go to poo poo. That's when you will or will not get any possible swings.

Pissflaps posted:It's bollocks that polling only matters at an arbitrary point in time. That's a ridiculous stance. Polling results are a snapshot of the public opinion. If something major has happened of course it will effect the poll results. What "matter of time" it is is extremely important. You are claiming that it's not important to compare a poll before a possible economic collapse with one after.

Pissflaps posted:And now I thank you for proving mine. I don't know why you can't just compromise and admit that while Corbyn hasn't been the best leader the media IS out to get him. The inverse of how May is also pretty poo poo but they're NOT out to get her so she does better in public perception.

Coohoolin posted:The ugly side of Scottish nationalism: internet abuse directed at a Jim Murphy aide and the long-defunct Siol Nan Gaidheal. I'm pretty sure the "ugly side of Scottish nationalism" is going to be the same as any ugly nationalism. I.E unrepentant tribalism. I'm not saying the SNP is bad or has more "ugly" nationalism than any other movement but I also disagree that it's any friendlier than any other nationalism. There absolutely will be members of the YES movement that don't think of the English as people. These people shouldn't representative of the movement but nor should they be ignored or treated like they're not a problem. "Oh all movements have bad apples but our bad apples are less badderer applelerers than theirs" is not a particularly nuanced position.

Pissflaps posted:That's quite a poll I imagine some people are furious with it. What is with your lack of understanding? You of all people know Corbyn is going to get trashed. We're stuck with the Tories for 5-10 years at least. Scotland has a chance of escaping a decade of more misery. And yet you belittle them for even wanting the chance.

Pissflaps posted:Until the perpetrator is caught we don't know what their political stance is. This is a loving tragedy. This is on par with disillusioned socialists voting for Le Pen in the french elections. People are so weird.

Baron Corbyn posted:RIP Scottish Independence. If only she'd done this before the election. We could be seeing Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn in a progressive partnership with the SNP instead of the lunacy of the current government. She's done part of her job then. gently caress up Labour. The only thing better for the SNP than achieving independence is to keep Britain under Tory rule. Fits the narrative much better than splitting from a progressive left wing government.
