Robert Walpole is facing jail time for serious sexual offences??? Wow, just wow!!!!
Ypu made the statement so the burden of proof is on you.
Happy to be proved wrong if you have something to back up your comments. Remember your allegation is that the vast majority of No voters get their jollies from racism. Please don’t run away from another thread.
Really? I don't believe you. There is no point debating this with you. We are on the same side but you go about it in a way that will stop people voting yes. I know that the way I go about it definitely, 100% had friends and acquaintances of mine change their minds and vote yes.
I’m not going to pretend I have any answers, whatever side of the fence we’re debating none of us can speak in absolutes. I believe Scotland would quite easily get back into the EU, and that can only be a good thing for the mid and long term for the country.
As I say, whatever path chosen is fraught with risks. Staying in a UK out of the EU, probably without a deal, is not a good place to be. Who knows what will happen to the pound, who we will trade with and on what terms etc etc. Just as there are questions about Scottish Currency and what kind of country we want to be.
Fair enough, but if you feel Scotland will get back into the EU 'quickly' as you put it then you need to realise the reality is somewhat different. We would need our own currency, to get our own currency we would need to pass the 6 tests in the Growth Commission report, they could take decades to meet, may never actually be ever met.
Scotland would get into the EU if it meets the criteria, just like any other country would. But let's not pretend it's a simple thing that will happen in a few years, it could be decades.
Regarding joining the EU, Finland took less than 3 years and that was with no historical legislative alignment, Scotland is already 100% aligned, what makes you belive Scotland would take much longer?
And for clarity, the treaty specifies a stable economy, there's no specific requirement to have our own currency from the 'get go' .

****in he’ll. I really used to have a lot of respect for you and your opinions even though they are clearly opposed to mine, but that post has left me wondering if I’ve been wrong all this time. If that’s really what you believe then I genuinely despair for this country.
I don't like Boris, but what do you think he will do? No matter what Tory was in power he or she would be the devil to many. Do you think he will advocate exterminating Scottish people like the poem he published?
Anything he wants to do has to get through Parliament, just like anything any PM wants to do. A few years of bluster and soundbytes is what will probably happen and then he will be gone.
I could be completely wrong, time will tell.
You are lucky my friend, you’re lucky that you see this unequal union for what it is. There isn’t one country that has left the empire that has wanted to return. The arguments for remaining are utterly pathetic and revolve around issues like currency and sovereignty. The fact is that Scotland is a wealthy country that is rich in natural resources and woukd thrive on its own.
Boris is our Trump. Unlike many people I think he will win a general election, he is unbelievably seen as a man of the people and he’s very popular amongst the working classes. What I think he’ll do is aligne us with America and drag us into a war with Iran. I don’t want to be part of a war that’s designed by arms dealers in America because they need somewhere to shoot there new weapons.
Also..I am not going to change my position on Independence overnight on the basis of what one man, who is not even confirmed as the PM, might do. Would you flip from pro Indy to being against Indy on the basis of what one person might do, what might happen? I doubt you would, so why are you so shocked that I don't.
Bojoke's dad on the radiobox just now defending his son. Spaffing Latin phrases around. TF is the matter with these peeps?
