Scottish Government moving the goalposts

[Major_Con]

The current version of the United Kingdom only dates from 1922, yet people think independence would lead to losing centuries of shared history. Crazy, eh, especially with Irish unification on the radar.

Hey Tainted, great to see you are still pushing the case for Irish unification, on the Scotland Mad board you were a massive advocate of Irish independence.

David Davies here or zero? Think there is merit in Westminster reviewing the Scotland Act to bring Holyrood more into line with Westminster.

Brought into line? We're not naughty schoolkids.

We need complete separation from Westminster not more alignment with it.

His speech laid out how we are being run by a criminal elite.

I recommend Neil oliver on Tuesday on talk radio talking about how the snp shout freedom but actually want to draw the curtains and say "nothing to see here".

Sorry Deeranged poor choice of words. I thought that SNP supporters who care about democracy might understand the problem that the Salmond enquiry has revealed might be something that all Scots could agree on. Absolutely no disrespect intended and our Holyrood politicians should be asking for the changes to be made to help rein in an unaccountable First Minister and her party. I would be making the same point no matter what party had behaved in Scotland the way the current SNP have.

I listened to Ruth Davidson at FM Questions today. I've actually always liked Ruth, she doesn't (well never used to) mess about or mince her words, an excellent orator and obviously pretty clever with it. However, today she was using words like 'alleged' and 'reported' to describe things that she's trying to purport as absolute fact. She's just toeing the party line of course which is to bring down the Sturgefuhrer and her cronies but you can't be using these words to try to back up what you say is a statement of fact so she's losing in my view and she just gives Sturgeon the opportunities she wants to bat her down and look good.

I think there's deep problems in the SNP right now and that they are now bad for Scotland. Nicola and the guy on Skye in particular are self serving and two faced but then they are politicians. The Tories won't bring down the current clearly corrupt Scottish Government unless they come up with some actual policies that appeal to people like me that would welcome independence but no longer trust the SNP. Those policies must be aimed at giving Scotland its independence form Westminster rule. They are proposing no policies, all they have is the linesman shouting SNP bad at every opportunity - not a popular guy and not a great strategy.

As it stands I will not be able to cast any vote in the May elections because I don't want to feel responsible for either of them being in power anywhere. SNP will be back and possibly with a bigger mandate simply because no alternative is being offered.

Sensible Scot, proud Brit is a catchy wee tag line.

The latest cretin who was up in court for voyerism (terrible spelling) is another horrible ****.
