  2. The Politics Thread

    Interesting to see NS suggesting the Tories were looking to cut funding to Scotland and BJ claiming there are no such plans two hours later - the Barnett Formula has been under scrutiny by the right wing of the Tory party since 2014 (the day after the referendum IIRC :rolleyes:) if not before.

    As an aside the Scandinavian model relies on much heavier overall taxation than here in the UK and if their higher Income Tax rates remain below 60% the relative income levels at which higher rates kick in are a lot lower than the UK, it's also interesting to note the income spread of the Scandinavian countries riches → poorest is a lot less in these countries too in comparison with the UK.

    Green policies have to go alongside higher taxation and radical societal change or else it's just fuzzy NIMBYism!

    It's amusing when you don't agree with the tedious sniping at a government or PM you immediately become a supporter of the said government/leader. :lol:

    It's the same when I don't join in with the beyond tedious pish about Rangers you become a Rangers supporter. :lol:

    I do laugh, it shows the debate is over.

    PS @FTOF, I do acknowledge you are seen to be balanced in some of your posts, as has @Bud the Baker well done. :thumbs2

    Just to make things clear I do not regard myself as being exclusively an SNP supporter, I am also a Zapatista and currently at war with Mexico. :fire

    Once I have achieved Independence for Scotland I intend to sail to Hawaii with my harem :wub: and join the fight to achieve independence from the USA. From there we will sail to mainland USA and liberate the Spanish speaking regions and form an Anarcho-Socialist-Green state dedicated to free love.

    That's my bucket list...🎁

    Another fairy tale.

    Looking after people costs the government zillions every year.

    Is it perfect, naw as it's a "one size fits all" and thousands of "good people" who don't deserve it or need it get it. 

    Oh, I don't see my life as anything to do with lady luck, I've had hard times as many have, I just made more effort to not let it take over my life and slide into being dependant on support. 

    I need to go, looking at a holiday in the Maldives later this year, if Covid fecks off and lets me spend my hard earned money. 

    One of those holidays you should be planning sooner rather than later...

    Leaving the EU WASN'T  their choice. 

    That'll be them pesky members of the public. 

    The Brexit referendum was only advisory, there was no need to accept the result so technically it was the Tories choice, somewhere out there there's a better, kinder universe where this actually did happen.

    Of course that's a disingenuous answer but no less so than saying that Brexit was not largely down to a sizeable (and predominantly right wing & jingoistic) faction of the Tory party agitating for it - with plenty of support from sundry billionaire Press Barons.

    In the RealWorldTM The Proclaimers should've realized the best deal realistically available from their POV was membership of the Customs Union which was rejected by only 6 votes in the round of Indicative Votes two years ago today.

    Why would we wish Kilmarnock to go down? They bring one of the largest, if not the largest, away support to our stadium. 

    It's a dog-eat-dog world, if they stay up Killie are likely to be stronger than Hamilton certainly and (due to their sugar-daddy) County probably.

    Karma...

    Oh dear, independence..............................:byebye

    Former Scottish first minster Alex Salmond is launching a new political party to contest crucial upcoming elections for the parliament in Edinburgh, saying he wants to build a “supermajority” for independence.

    Alex Salmond's 'popularity increasing' as former Scottish First Minister launches party

    Only standing candidates on the Regional Lists where the SNP only gained 4 seats last time round, more likely to hurt the Greens.

    Doesn't affect me I'll be voting SNP/Green again.

    He has a point that tactical voting for a second Independence party could increase the pro-Independence majority at Holyrood but I couldn't stomach voting for a party led by Salmond given what he's done over the last 12 months.

    If he had acknowledged his past behaviour had been inappropriate then maybe, if he can't acknowledge (nevermind apologize) because it might leave him open to further legal action then all the more reason for him to stay the hell out of Dodge.

    Interesting to see estimates that between 5-7% of the Regional List vote might win the new party seats at Holyrood.

    Ah, it's Scotland vs Austria...

    Quote

    Austrian Family Values

    • The family forms the basis of the Austrian social structure.
    • The family is generally small and, due to lack of migration, generally closely knit within a certain town or village.
    • Weekends are generally devoted to family activities such as outdoor activities.
    • Eating dinner together in the evening is very much the norm.
    • Sundays re usually bookmarked for visiting grandparents for dinner, and/or, enjoying a hike in the country together.

    Is that a euphemism for inbred?

    Surely a'body frae Arbroath would be supporting Austria.

    Just seen the players coming out, one of their players has a bun hair style and another has a pony tail.

    That's them playing with nine men straight away. :lol:

    I have had both of these hairstyles and I can assure you they are testosterone enhancing...

    Mon the whoever it is Scotland are playing!

    Big smile on Nicola's face so I suppose the vote must've gone her way...

    Labour abstained although I'm not sure how the Lib Dems voted - going by the count (65-31) I suspect they must've abstained too.

    Notorious shagger Frank Worthington’s aborted move from Huddersfield to Liverpool in 1972 is the stuff of legend. After failing his medical due to high blood pressure apparently caused by having too much sex, Worthington was sent to ‘calm down’ in Majorca, where he continued to enjoy “the fruits of being young” – namely (in no particular order): Miss Great Britain, a Swedish mother and daughter, and an unnamed Belgian beauty. He returned, failed the medical again, and joined Leicester instead.
     

    RIP Frank a life well lived. 

    Wouldn't the high blood pressure come from the boozing that preceded the shagging?

    Still as you say a life well lived - RIP.

    If Devil Girl From Mars (1954) is not a Cult Fillum then it should be.....

    It's about an uptight, leather-clad female alien, armed with a ray gun and accompanied by a menacing robot who comes to Earth to collect Earth's men as breeding stock.
