Of course you haven’t. The NE has a long tradition of being soft on Tories. I’d be amazed if you all didn’t hate her. Even those of a nationalist persuasion tend to be on the right wing of the political spectrum. I’d rather remain in the UK than give those f*cking weirdos in the Alba Party a say

Anyway, on more important matters. Many folk in the central belt think the good people up there are all carrot crunching wurzels with a Massey Ferguson in their driveway. Saying Prestwick is weegie only confirms this view

She's not perfect but I can't find much to criticize her on. Saying that, I'll admit I am biased when it comes to UK politics until the indy vote goes through. I'll join in the in-fighting then.

That’s pretty much me as well. She is held to a much higher standard than any other politician in the uk & still does alright. The complaints against are mostly invented by flag shagging unionists/ Alba incels.

Well, you won't get independence unless ........well there's nae an unless is there? you just won't get independence.

Until you convince the Scottish electorate it’s a good idea. There’s still work to be done.

[donsdaft]

Scots are fearties, the English will threaten.
Scots are greedy, the English will bribe.

[Mason89]

Maybe the older generation. It’s them that are holding the whole thing up

[donsdaft]

That'll be the really auld wifies, in their 80's and still voting to keep the queen.

I don't see any sign that the youngsters have the guts to see anything through.
They won't vote unless they can do it on their app.

And.........if the English threaten their internet connection,that's the whole thing f'ucked.

[Mason89]

Take a look at any of the multiple polls done on this, the answer is always the same.

In a way, it’s the same problem that affects almost every aspect facing these islands as a whole. Boomers with an internet connection

Polls are all very well, but it might rain or be cold or something.
Or they might be staying at home to protect their mental health.

This is exactly what I’m on about. A classic example.

The Boomer Brain is putty to anyone that wants to influence it. You’ve no idea how much your brain has been fried with it already. I could try and point it out if you’re interested?

[donsdaft]

I'm not a Boomer, that was the generation 10 years older than me, and anyway , apart from being born during a post war baby boom the whole thing is a ridiculous carry on.

Of course, you might be right to place your faith in the recent voting generation but I wouldn't hold your breath if I were you.

They're too easily fwitened.

[Mason89]

Fwitened of what?

You should have more confidence in the youth of these islands. It’s not them that are fwitened of foreigners, trans people, educational change, technology, mental health issues, drug issues and about a million other things.

[donsdaft]

Trans people

Is that you started with you're imagine if world again?

Does anyone remember watching Trans World Sport in the 90’s, think it used to be on Channel 4 at the weekend. Takes a whole new meaning now, just be a load of failed male athletes now competing against women.
