Scotland Debate

[Val]

As I said previously, I know Munro reasonably well given the trade and I'd never dream of doing what he did with my (smaller) firm.And I'd not use the language he used for sure, which is where the issue lies for nats.
And folk have the right to boycott any company for any reason, the beauty of free market economy.

Your last sentence is correct granted however does the language Munro used justify the bullying tactic of boycott? It's a shocking tactic to use

Dreadfully sad news about the untimely death of Margo Macdonald. A fierce nationalist who fought many battles with compassion and vigour.Scotland just became that wee bit less enlightened today.And a Hibby to boot, some curse!Another nationalist supporting Hibby leaving us not seeing either of the holy grails achieved.

I'll raise my glass tonight, RIP Margo.

Very sad, history will be kind to her I think.
Bonny fighter to the end.

The right to die lady ?

I said the same thing weeks ago, I know very few people who will vote yes, Adi2D says he knows a few who will vote NO.

I really can't see it anything other than a no.

As for opinion votes, if you take a small percentage of people and ask them a question you cannot make representation of that be the thought of the overall total, that's why these polls need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

No official has asked my opinion

nor mine, nor anyone I know, nor any family member I know, nor any work colleague nor anyone in their family (we all checked).

I can see a massive NO! not close, won't touch the sides as the saying goes :smirk:

Fully agree with your sentiment on these polls

Phil, it's the only thing that we all HAVE to do, like it or not.

I agree - I understand she was campaigned for people with terminal illnesses be allowed to take their lives.

She did indeed.She fought with dignity for her right to choose.

I have no doubt - they all appear too

She was SO much more than that. One of very few politicians who was more than happy to sacrifice any political ambitions to stay true to her beliefs and principles.

RIP Margo

Wedgwood Ben was another.

I appreciate it's anecdotal and we all move in different spheres etc but I honestly know only a handful of people planning to vote "yes" and vastly more saying they're "no". I was out last night with four friends I hadn't previously discussed it with - all are voting "no".

Based purely on my own circle, therefore, it's going to be a landslide for "no". Obviously it's not that simple but that's why I just can't recognise claims that "yes" will win, or even that it'll be close.

In general conversation at my work (100 employees), it seems like a 75 to 25 percent majority towards voting YES. But we do push the Scottishness of our business.

Just heard news - ah Margo 😥

As a first time voter in 1976 Margo was such a charismatic figure and important figure for me - such a loss to Scottish poitics and Scotland

Very selective in his theories and rather naive.

Obviously supporters of the BT campaign are less likely to attend "town hall" meetings, why should they? They are not campaigning for change.

That does not, however, mean that they will not turn out to vote.

Idiotic assertion = stupid 'explanation'.

Poll samples are chosen to reflect the target population!

So the BT propaganda on twitter etc showing "town hall" meetings etc is a mirage?

OK

Excellent 'parody' of 500 Miles though!

Something new for Hibbies to practice in the Four in Hand!

The IV, if you please.Kano made the worlds dumbest decision to remove all the memorabilia and turn the front room into some sort of fashion bar.Laddie is as daft as he looks.

Robbies/Tamsons/Iona the places you'll find the right minded Hibby pre/post match

Oops! Dumb decision indeed! Though probably still packed on match days!

I'm definitely out of date. My favourite Italian nearby is no longer Tinelli Ristorante either!
