Not fishing at all. Its something I genuinely believe. Brexit is an excellent example of it. Scotland having a decision foisted upon them that a distinct majority of Scots disagree with. On the one hand it was a UK-wide vote, and breaking it into regions and countries has proven to be very divisive but, also, you can't get away from the fact that the majority of Scots voted against Brexit. If it had been a 52% 'v' 48% there'd be an argument that its was too close, but 62%...

Apologies - I read the last line of your post as a dig at the SNP - wanting independence from UK - then simply replacing non-Scottish Westminster MPs with non-Scottish Brussels MEPs.

You think that's funny, the SNP are the worlds only nationalist party who have a core policy of relinquishing power overseas! :)

...and when UK operates under the auspices and within the rules and procedures of the WTO, what are we going to be doing if not relinquishing power overseas - simply replacing the EU with the WTO in respect of trade.

The WTO has no desire to gain federal authority over its members, to create an army , a single currency, freedom of movement, budgetary control of member states, precedent over member states laws. Not really replacing the EU with the WTO is it and the UK has always been a member of the WTO, it was one of the founding members.

Yes, hilarious! I worked with the Scottish NHS for over 20 years. From being an absolute beacon of how to deliver a high quality service to those most needy, they've dragged it down to an appalling level.

And how have they achieved all the things in the vid? By running up a huge debt, running a deficit on a par with Greece 10 years ago.

Yep, definitely hilarious and something to be proud of.

To get back on topic.....

How good is that clip of wee nicola getting scudded on the head playing swing ball?

I nearly collapsed a lung laughing so much!

Apparently Sturgeon and the SNP have said that it was all Boris's and Westminster's fault. Well they get the blame for everything else so why should this be different. (y)

Looks like the Lib Dems will be joining LBJ's Tories in an electoral pact in Scotland for the forthcoming election.
Totally shunning the third largest UK party who, like them, also wish to block Brexit. Weird logic.
Do they not know what happened to the Scottish branch of the Labour party when they thought it was a good ideal for the last election

As a whole Is this not a record that any Tory/ Labour/ Brexit/ Lib Dem/ UKIP party in England/Wales would die for.

Ah come on doon, how can you not find that funny?

Politician attempting another fake pishy photo call and gets whacked in the melon with a tennis ball! What’s not to like?

Are you really that brainwashed?


Supporters of Nationalist parties always are...By definition they will be narrow minded, their mentalities are defined by a politics of us and them.

What can Scotland claim?

Golf. Dutch might lay claim, even the Romans. The game of golf as we know it today was first played in Scotland on land unfit for anything else.
Bagpipes. Ancient Egypt.
Haggis. Recipe from an old English cookery book.
Whisky. Claimed by Irish
Deep fried Mars bars. Scots should feel proud. It was invented in Stonehaven.

I didn't open the link, but now I have. yes it is hilarious. Nicola took it in her stride though.
She was well protected in those days with all her hair spray.:love:

I notice you and a few others do not seem to disagree with the SNP's political record in relation to other UK political parties.
Just the usual tired old anti Scottish rubbish from the usual suspects on here.

So its ok for the SNP to drive healthcare in Scotland backwards as long as it stay ahead of the rest of the UK? Doon, I'm not on a points scoring exercise. I'm pointing out that whatever the propaganda might say, first hand experience in dealing with many, many Trusts in Scotland the truth is very different. Back in the early 90's, when I worked in the NHS we used to use Scottish NHS practices to drive performance forward. Healthcare practices in Scotland was miles out in front. By 2005 it was neck and neck, with Scotland probably still shaving it. The rest of the UK hadn't caught up with Scotland, Scotland had gone backwards. By 2013 there was a hair's breadth difference.

But here's a question back at you. Why do you post up SNP literature when everyone and their dog knows that every party tells lies? Do you honestly think the SNP would post up, "we got it wrong."

Interesting in the piece below what the Head of the BMA in Scotland had to say.
