the 400,000 SNP voters that voted to leave the EU must be getting a fair idea of what its like to be on the receiving end of Sturgeon refusing to recognise a democratic vote. At least those 400,000 SNP voters actually grasp the concept of independence unlike the toe the line muppets.
 
She really has made an arse of herself on this one.
 
As for the "no article 50 until all the devolved regions of the uk agree". Utter bollocks. They'll be asked for their input, it will be noted out of politeness and then duly ignored. Sturgeon has been told to go and see what she can get off the EU and report back. That wont take very long considering she was pointed and laughed at when she turned up in Brussels to beg to be allowed to stay in the EU. Sorry love, the EU doesn't recognise regions, it only recognises the member state.
 
Think of the EU as a bus. 28 states were on the bus, some of them are federal states and carry their regions around in a suitcase, or in the UKs case its a union itself. When they stop the bus and get off, they take their luggage with them. But they are off the bus.

You supported a false prospectus which was rejected by over two million Scottish voters.
The SNP have a bloc seethe which has carried them in the general election and the subsequent Scottish one. But interest is waning and people know that what they proposed was a lie.
Sadly for the nationalist cause they have yet to sit down and look at why they failed. Until they do that and until they can come up with anything credible then none of us in here will ever be subjected to another independence referendum.
One thing is for certain. The present SNP leadership have absolutely no intention of holding another and 2011-2016 was the last majority government we will ever see at Holyrood anyway.This will be a difficult parliament for Sturgeon and co. Its started badly already, but policy matters will be tough. They WILL piss off sections of their own support from now on. Enthusiasm will wane. Maximum nat was 2015 and that was down to the bloc seethe at the referendum result. They'll never be near that level of support again. They've already shipped about 400,000 voters in 12 months and lost their majority at Holyrood.

The markets are way ahead of things regardless.
When we were bounced out the ERM the market reset was swift and was very beneficial to to us. The pound found its proper level which helped exports, employment increased and our economy became more competitive. The scenario isnt the same this time. But the markets will readjust very swiftly and our economy WILL cope very well.
If anyone is genuinely wanting to know what our exit strategy would look like rather than simply parroting back shite that politicians spout then take a look through this. There is a way to remove uncertainty for markets and this is it. It keeps us with access to all the same markets and its economically neutral.
The leave campaign were going to run with this but decided to run with immigrants and other pish. Up to them, but the exit strategy IS there and its actually the only sensible way to deal with things if its an out vote.

I cited one example....an obvious one that opinion polls suggested should be popular. It was certainly a policy that took SLAB to the left of the SNP yet it lost them ground. Not that I'm complaining. You know that I'm a strong advocate of cutting taxes to increase the total tax take. However it does show that either the Scottish Electorate hasn't got a clue about policies or that everyone keeps lying when asked how important public services are to the electorate.
Let's face it if the NHS was the priority that the electorate claim it is they wouldn't be voting for the woman who as Health Minister stopped all recruitment to the Scottish NHS for 5 full years. If council services were important they wouldn't be voting for the party that has frozen council tax for 9 years and starved local authorities of funding.
I think the one thing Thursday proved is that the Parliament in Edinburgh is a massive stonking waste of money that the majority of Scots don't care about. We should close it and save £million of taxpayers money currently being spunked away on party yes men who are being appointed to parliament on the basis that they'll take their wages and their expenses and try to get away with doing nothing at all.

If Murray was still here we'd be completely f**ked.

Our board have made a series of rubbish decisions in the past few years. Hopefully they've fluked a half decent manager in Rae.

Were you watching this week when the second biggest contributor to the EU budget and the second biggest economy in it and the fifth biggest economy on the planet went begging to be allowed to set its own benefit rules? And failed?
Yet you think Scotland will be somehow protected from total absorption? Edinburgh is said to be the Athens of the North. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it would become if we handed sovereignty away to unelected commissioners.
IF the UK votes out. Scotland is therefore out too. And it meets no criteria to enter again. No currency of its own. No central bank of its own and a massive deficit. The biggest in Europe. I'd actually LOVE to see Sturgeon demanding a referendum on the basis of leaving the UK and to attempt to join the EU. The utter horsing she would take from the Scottish electorate would be epic. Its never going to happen anyway no matter what we do in this referendum in June.

The SNP come from a similar skim of the pond as Scottish Labour did. Its full of imbeciles, troughers, wannabes and downright morons and anti English racists, pro Irish Republican morons, sectarian twats and idiots.
So, in essence, all we have done in Scotland is replace one bunch or morons with another set. Indeed many SNP councillors are former "crossed the floor" Labour ones who had the "mene mene tekel upharsin" moment and jumped to protect their income.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

I'll be voting out.
I'll leave the political establishment north and south of the Border to scaremonger for in.
Better Together aye?

There aren't enough emoticons to express my delight at this..................

'Coachitis' is the scourge of modern football (which is shite btw). I grew up watching the game in the 70s & 80s when the tactical choices available to managers were limited to 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and who could scare their players the most to get the maximum out of them. Some players were overweight, some were just thugs, but many had plenty of skill and natural ability.
Pre match meals were steak and chips, warm ups were a few individual sprints, a couple of half arsed stretches and battering shots at the keeper. It all sounds so primitive now, but it was bloody great!
And I haven't even mentioned the colour of their boots.....

Watch out where the huskies go..............

A great appointment, an am no just saying that.

Not? Errr... She DID the very thing she spoke out against.
Is that not the very definition of hypocrisy?

I despise nationalism regardless. Its as low as politics can drop generally.
But I've simpply pointed out where the SNP government has failed and where it has been hypocritical. When an outfit like the SNP point out how corrupt and bad other politicians are and then select much the same as MPs and MSPs they legitimately open themselves to these accusations. If they want to fling that sort of mud about then they should make sure they are squeaky clean, and they're not. All political parties have arseholes in their midst, I've never been under the impression it wasn't the case. But I don't place my faith in politicians to improve my life prospects. Many SNP sheepies do. Thats sad. For them.

Must be quite a shock for those who rush to defend their political heroes at every opportunity.

Maybe they should expel Anus MacNeil who has two properties owned jointly with his wife as well as his taxpayer funded flat 15 minutes walk from the Palace of Westminster, yet still managed to rack up tens of thousands of pounds worth of hotel expenses.
Or are you still under the impression that SNP politicians are "different"?
You poor sod. You're being taken for a complete mug.

There were a couple of Buds on it early Dec too.
