saintnextlifetime Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 And that, on its own, caused the banking crisis, the recession and austerity. Sounds fair enough to me. Leave sidelley alain you , ya big bully. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I see the oil price is rising again, setting the scene for Osborne to "save" the oil industry with a tax cut just before May, whilst contract workers get paid off then re-hired on lesser wages due to the "panic". i feel a nicely manufactured feel-good factor coming along this spring If you think George Osbourne, or any other UK politician is capable of controlling global oil prices you've just credited them with far more power and influence than I ever would.

For my money the scrotum and sphincter are the wee diddy parties like UKIP and SNP. This is not new News. Private Eye has been banging on about wee Malky (in particular) for years. It takes a tv programme with a set-up con to stir the shit so the GBP takes notice. They are not the first politicians to dips snouts in the trough. And won't be the last. I tried to point this out in the Referendum thread. It's not the parties themselves that are the weak link. It's those who aspire to be politicians.

oaksoft Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Interestingly, we're seeing the reason why the independence poll in this forum was so heavily skewed towards Yes. It's because the vast majority entering the poll are SNP voters. The BAWA website was exactly the same which is why I started the poll. The next question would be why are these websites so biased towards SNP voters? That, I have no idea about. At least the issue of why the two forums polls didn't mirror the result in September has been revealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think the answer is that your poll and DSS's poll are/were both irrelevant. Only those who would wish to appear as activists would bother participating before the real poll comes round. At least the issue of why the two forums polls didn't mirror the result in September has been revealed. Sorry, but I don't even understand this bit of tabloid headlines shite....

Stuart Dickson Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Osborne is accused of political opportunism and playing games with oil companies at the expense of jobs, you made up the rest Ah opportunism.....you mean the good fortune that was afforded to the UK on the whole as a result of the falling oil price. Good fortune that would have been denied to us had the 45% had their way last September. I've got to admit it's kind of funny to see the Natsi's on here enjoying the fact that oil prices have had a modest bounce back up the way. You'd need to be pretty f**ked up as a political organisation to celebrate food, transport and production costs all increase, profit margins squeezed, and growth in employment hampered but that's exactly the position those who would support a Scottish Independence agenda find themselves taking just before a General Election.

Stuart Dickson Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I raise you this.. B6if8kcIUAAG_-7.jpg Oh I can agree with that. Vote Conservative instead after all the Natsi's on here claim that if you vote SNP in the General Election you're going to get a Labour government anyway.

Iael18 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Surely you mean, "As opposed to Bluto, Roddy or Chingford which collectively only have one R in them.", no? Or, more succinctly, "As opposed to Bluto, Roddy or Chingford which collectively only contain one R." Just trying to be helpful. Am I missing something? or are there 2 R's here?

Stuart Dickson Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 An excellent political analysis. For my money the scrotum and sphincter are the wee diddy parties like UKIP and SNP. This is not new News. Private Eye has been banging on about wee Malky (in particular) for years. It takes a tv programme with a set-up con to stir the shit so the GBP takes notice. They are not the first politicians to dips snouts in the trough. And won't be the last. I tried to point this out in the Referendum thread. It's not the parties themselves that are the weak link. It's those who aspire to be politicians. Having watched the BBC2 Documentary on the would be UKIP activists today I think that totally proved the statement correct. The thing is the programme has singled out UKIP for scrutiny which is fair enough but all of the other parties would have come across just as badly IMO. Can you imagine if the cameras were given unrestricted access to a Scottish Labour get together where they may have filmed Mike Watson setting fire to curtains or where they could have watched Eric Joyce get off his face on drink before deciding to take on the world in a fight. Then there's the acolytes like Paul Flowers. Forgotten who he is? He's the disgraced Labour councillor who ran the Co-Operative Bank donating £2.2million of it's funds to the Labour Party after being forced to resign his council post when he was caught with gay porn on his council funded computer. Same is true of the Scottish Nationalists. Take for example the story of Airdrie councillor Alan Beveridge who became so disgusted with the "climate of fear, intimidation and false allegations which operates within the party locally" that he resigned from the party - a bit like the woman on the UKIP documentary who decided to resign from UKIP after having to try to manage press coverage of two local instances of racism. Or imagine having to hang out with wife beater Bill Walker or Lyall Duff - the North Lanarkshire councillor who was forced to resign too late to stop him from standing as an SNP councillor at Murdostoun on the 3rd of May 2012 - and his rather, lets say, outspoken opinions that he liked to post all over Facebook. Or being in the company of Roisin McLaren and her rabid and vitriolic anti English views. Or having to listen to presentations on the Scottish economy from clueless bawbags like John Swinney and Alex Salmond, or the latest ill conceived Marxist musings from Nicola Sturgeon. f**king hell, I'd rather spend the evening at a SMiSA AGM than spend any time in the company of a would be politician.

Stuart Dickson Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I see the Natsi website "Wings Over Scotland" and their Stormtroopers are back in the news today. This time smearing a nurse from the NHS , claiming she is an actress and that quotes attributed to her were made up by Labour. When the truth came out that she is actually a nurse at Larbet Hospital the Natsis then called for NHS bosses to carpet her. The site is still endorsed by the SNP and it appears that Campbell lied when he claimed that if Scotland voted No he'd be done with the place forever. Frankly I hope victims of this website start to take legal action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 well we have all bought into the Neocon dream good style, which has worked out well. Yes some people have done well, but this at the expense of others. I know the world is full of winners and losers, but I fee that we have all lost here (except for the richest who have done very well). Being scots I have a horrible feeling of Collectiveness. I am not normally an SNP voter - far from, nut labour really have burnt their bridges, siding with the tories and joining the race to the bottom so they can chase themselves too. If we return enough SNP MPs then we need to have another referendum and we can be shot of southern England and make our own decisions.
