The same way that black hole is being filled right now (and dont say via Westminster subsidies because we now know that is bollox).
Selling premium bonds to grannies?

I voted No and Remain in the two referendums.
65% of Scotland's exports are to the rest of the UK while 19% are to the EU.
To me, it doesn't make sense to want to leave a single market with our biggest trading partners in order to preserve a single market with the EU.
It seems to me that, in Scotland, the economic acceptance regarding the benefits that the EU single market brings to the table won the day in Scotland. When it comes to the UK however, this seems to be go by the wayside.
What makes it harder for me to understand is that, by leaving the UK and staying in the UK, we would continue using the currency of the UK but not the currency of the EU. We would, in effect, be using a currency with which we would not have any influence over.

Boris Johnson. FFS.
The favourite never wins a Tory leader election.
Thatcher, Major, Cameron. They were all outsiders. Might be different this time though.
The Tories really are a party of complete fcukwits. Boris as leader would top it all.
I can only hope that Corbyn is ousted and they put someone electable in charge and the Tories call an election.
The world is going mad. All we need now to cap it all would be another Scottish referendum.
We'll end bartering with potatoes on the street corner at this rate.

Weather forecast is heavy rain tomorrow
Hopefully it will help to keep the hangers on tomorrow to a minimum 
With heavy rain forecast maybe they should hand out some shower gel to the crowds?

What else would you ban? Gay pride marches - they offend a lot of people? CND, trade unions, circuses (or circusii)?
I'm afraid I'm a staunch supporter of "I disagree with what you say but I defend your right to say it".
I think a key difference for me is that Gay pride, CND, trade union marches, etc aren't essentially about the hatred of another group of people.

I see that Morgan Stanley have already announced that they will move 2,000 jobs out of the UK and into either Dublin or Frankfurt.
And there were those who told us during the Independence referendum that a yes vote wouldn't harm jobs in financial services in Scotland.
Hilariously, we even had someone citing HSBC as an example of a foreign bank (what a jolly jape) operating in the UK while Drew assured us that it all be okay due to 'international flows of money' whatever that meant!
As to Kendo's point of view, I voted No & Remain. All my immediate family and most of my close friends voted likewise. We'd all still vote No in a second referendum.
I have one mate who voted No and Leave and he too would still vote No.
A vote for Leave is not a reason for a second referendum.
Indeed, the reasons for staying in UK are possibly more important now.
it's also ironic that Scotland has voted the same way in the EU referendum as the 'better off' in the UK.
The Leave vote was won with the votes of the English working class.
That's a right kick in the balls for the leftie SNP fandans on this forum!

Can't help wondering how those who voted No 2 years ago to ensure we stayed in the EU are feeling now..
The reason I replied was because I don't think that staying in the EU would have been the priority for most of the no, which what I believe you were implying.
Regardless, I can decide to reply to any post I like and make any post I like...
I surprised that you didn't side with the racists considering your hatred of the English and your contempt of the disabled.

I voted no at the referendum and staying in the eu wasn't a priority
staying in the UK was what I was voting for
looking back at it, Imo the options were
1. Stay in the UK and come out the EU
2. Come out the UK but stay in the EU
for me, at this point, I would still go with 1.
my opinion may change however.
for me, the underlying essence of the leave vote is racism and xenophobia
that doesn't sit well with me
yes, you could say that a dislike of the English was a major factor in the yes vote
that's partly because folk have this view of the English all being posh tories, which they obviously aren't
but the English working classes have shown themselves to have a very large racist streak in them

. Also asked them what should be done to arrest the run on the pound and collapse of the markets. The pound now at the lowest level since 1985.
They didn't have a scooby do. So much for "Take back control."
No democracy for Scotland.
as would have been the case if we'd voted yes in the Scottish independence referendum

There won't be any point to UKIP now so maybe Farage will disappear from sight soon.
you would think that would be the case
but....
we don't know what our relationship with the eu is now going to be
the majority in Westminster wanted to remain. If they go for a deal, like Norway, where we remain in a single market, have freedom of movement of people and still pay subs to the eu...
I can see ukip and Farage continue spouting their shite

the millennium champions had 3 forwards in the line up.

no bad team so far if we get Sutton..3 at back Gordon Webster McKenzie with hutton(doing a Tommy turner).wig backs Naismith n Irvine..quinn n mallan in middle.quinn more sitting mallan more attacking..n Clarkson n Sutton up front..title winning team.obviously langfield in goal ..before some smart arse says nae goalie
3 central defenders plus a sweeper, 2 wing backs and a holding midfielder. Not forgetting the keeper.
That must be the most defensive line up I've ever seen.
Makes Gus Macpherson appear adventurous!

Think the manager has said previously that if a good player becomes available, within our price range, and he's willing to come to the club then we'd be more than happy to take him.
Yes it's true we have plenty cover at CH now but the reality is that this is a guy who was called up to the full Scotland squad just 4 years ago and was playing in the English Championship the season before last.
I don't know about anyone else but the thought of having Gordon, Webster and MacKenzie all fighting it out to be playing in the middle of our defence appeals to me.
That is all true.
But what is also true is that Rae said he didn't need any more central defenders.
And then signed a central defender.

I can't believe anyone is suggesting a professional manager would sign a player who he knows and plays in a position "well covered" because he cannot attract players in the positions we lack - seriously ?????
That has to be one of the most mental things I've read on here yet.
More mental than a professional manager saying that he doesn't need any more central defenders, needs to sign players for other positions.....
and then signs another central defender?
Seriously?????
That has to be one of the most mental things I've read on here yet.

Rae stated that we had enough central defenders when he signed Gordon.Surely not a serious post?
He stated that we needed strikers and a left sided player.
He then signs... another central defender.
I think the post you have quoted is a serious post and I agree with him.
I'm not doubting the quality of Mackenzie but do you really think that if Rae had signed him before Gordon that he would have also signed Gordon?
I read into Rae's statement after signing Gordon that we could afford 2 strikers, a left sided player, a keeper and maybe one other.
Mackenzie is possibly the 'maybe one other'.
Like I said earlier in the thread, I wouldn't be averse to playing 3 central defenders. So maybe it will all work out okay.
-
Like others, I didn't know him personally. However, as someone who used to never miss an away game, I would usually see his face at most games.
He seems too young to have gone. It's a bit shocking TBH.
-
This is Rae at the panic signings now, he stated we didn't need defenders , realised he's no good at persuading potential targets to commit to the club , so signs 1 of his old guard at the drop of a hat , bet he wishes he never signed Ben Gordon now .
Just what I was thinking.

He only gets stuff right that is posted elsewhere. Guy is a complete fantasist/troll/wind-up merchant who makes pish up or quickly steals it from other sources.
Don't be so harsh on yourself.

Funny how most of our signings seem to completely go over the head of all of our esteemed ITK posters
:That's Hutton, Gordon and MacKenzie now... All 3 of them the first time I've seen their names mentioned is in the clubs official statement announcing their signings.
Come on ITK'ers, step it up!
All us ITK posters knew about all 3. We've been exchanging PMs on them for weeks. Its just you who was excluded.
Lappin is a good option for wing back.
Just saying....
Indeed
Langfield
Naismith - Webster - Mackenzie
Irvine - Quinn - Mallan - Lappin
Clarkson
Gallagher - Sutton
Gordon fighting it out for one of the 3 central defensive positions, Hutton giving the option of a more defensive line up as an extra man in midfield.
-
Maybe we're going to go with 3 central defenders next season?
We went with 3 central defenders in both of our previous championship winning seasons...

Surely the pozbaird alias should be out the door as well?
There is a clear forum policy of zero tolerance to personal abuse, yet the pozbaird alias (and a few others) continually get away with it.

they are also interested in Morecambe.
That's not wise

What money offered?
Buy the Buds now has exclusivity and the salty tears from a few will likely begin.

The Politics Thread

So your reason for wanting to leave the UK is because you don't like the current state of play of politics in the UK?
I was actually going to make that point in my post that you have quoted.... and you didn't fail me.
What about the state of politics in the rest of the EU. How is that going?
I too despair at the xenophobia of UKIP. But then I also despair at the xenophobia of the SNP!
As I said in my post. 65% of our exports go the rest of the UK, 19% to the EU.
Putting up barriers to trade and obstacles to labour and capital mobility where there are presently none, doesn't make sense to me.
