Scotland Debate

[Adi2Dassler]

Cue large amounts of 'hate mail' heading her way...

Or maybe a coherent polite reply...

She must have wrote that during her many lunches with Samantha Cameron, not a secret her and jK are big buddies. They stay regularly in Aberfeldy at JK's house. Another David Cameron "friend"rolled out to bang the drum.

Thanks for clearing that up, it's all about friendship and nothing to do with her belief. Got it :clap:

I have always thought that JK would make an excellent Scottish President.

But what about the content and what she actually wrote ? Are they valid observations ?

Yes, thanks for that. Taken together they convey the choice we're being asked to make and our differing responses to that choice rather well.

Very much so.
I think she may have turned a few heads.

Hilarious, she's a long time labour supporter! Even her blog post (see IanG's link above) criticises the current westminster government.

I would agree with that as I tend to agree with both statements.

This is also my thoughts.Big mates with captain Darling.

This is a line from an 18 year old girl when they launched the Better Together Campaign

“My mum is English, my dad is Scottish, my brother grew up in London. But we are a family and cannot and will not be divided. That's why I'm saying no thanks to separation."

Plus this is the rest of the article

Touching - but not quite sure how it relates to independence - as haven't seen either YES or BT suggesting members of families would have to choose between living in Scotland or rUK in the event of a YES

I could say I'm Scottish, my mum was Irish, my dad and sister are English and we'll all be voting yes...and the Darling NS interview agreed the nationalist movement in Scotland resembled 'blood and soil' nationalism-a direct comparison to Nazi Germany...they tried to deny it and laid the blame at the editing of the interview, only for the actual tape to confirm he did agree with that sentiment.

So whilst everyone jumps on their high horses about cyber nats and death eaters, take a look at the other lot and their crass tactics...kids with cancer not being allowed into GOS hospital another recent belter.

Well one is the wife of a politician (PM even) and previously a 'creative Director'. The other is the writer of fantasy fiction.

Are you really surprised that some folk don't believe a word of what they say?

There has been lots of tit for tat insults etc all throughout so far

What this ? Can you enlighten me more on that story ?

It's another example of what the division of the UK is, a split of a family. No one is suggesting actual families will be split up.

So GOS asked for the advert to be removed because they didn't endorse it

And would admissions into hospitals outside not change then if you became independent ?

So a child hasn't been stopped as such but things will possibly change if you do become independent surely ?

Yes

No

No

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Yes

No

No

Why won't they change then ? Won't your admissions into an NHS hospital be the same as another foreign national ?

I'm of the belief that Scotland and rUK will have agreements in place to supercede even the reciprocal health agreements already in place for all EU member states (fill your boots), even more so than the reciprocal health agreements we currently have with our Antipodean cousins.

Just now our NHS is a totally different concept to England/Wales version but they seem to work well side by side, I can't see that ending.

I'm constantly bemused by unionists telling us we can't afford to go it alone ( and therefore we're subsidised by England) but are so keen to keep us part of the union.I just don't get that.
