@truthscotland1 One of the biggest failings of the post-2014 Indy ref movement was to demand all Indy supporters must also agree on all other issues. It let unionists drive a huge wedge and split the movement over trans debate, immigration, oil and gas, renewables etc etc etc.
@cfcnewsroom@CelticFC@spfl Any bid is a bad bid if it won’t be reinvested in players. Hugely under appreciated player and a club with ambition should hold onto him at any cost.
@JohnStuartWilso@scotfax@aflockhart We’ve moved from the argument not existing, to you acknowledging it but disagreeing with it. I’d say that’s progress, who knows where we’ll end up.
@scotfax@JohnStuartWilso@aflockhart parties/groups have argued GERS is a political tool, it shows Scotland isn’t succeeding in the union, excludes many income streams, includes expenditure outside Scotland, includes higher than population share on defence etc & doesnt reflect different financial choices post Indy
@JohnStuartWilso@scotfax@aflockhart Of course they do. You may disagree with them which is fine, but positions have been put forward by various parties and individuals.
@scotfax@JohnStuartWilso@aflockhart That is one position pro union voices take yes. Of course there is a counter argument pro independence voices make. I suspect debating it would be pointless here.
@mickbrick54 Nobody expected us to outplay Brazil, but we did hope we would give a better account of ourselves and make them work for it. Gifting goals and being timid is fuelling the disappointment and Morocco game was a missed opportunity
@LivvyJohn Independence supporters are in favour of scrapping Barnett in favour of control over all income and expenditure. Unfortunately that’s not what’s on the table, it’s control over very little income, forced expenditure beyond scotlands needs and removal of the slight counterbalance
@TomPhiladelphia@wosoprincess Modern Englands identity is based on “us against everyone” and historic war fetish. It’s a shame as it’s a beautiful people, country and culture, but none of that positivity is celebrated. Instead the national identity is one of confrontation, conflict and misplaced superiority.
@aflockhart@scotfax I think both sides of the independence debate would welcome full control of ALL income and expenditure as both sides feel it would demonstrate their point. So let’s do it.
@TheStingisBack I’d like to see the original cut where they leave Israel, land in Russia and are forced into the local militia. Get stuck for years, become hardened fighters, battle of Moscow, then escape to go searching for his wife who is shacked up with Matthew Fox for protection.
@Artisans17@MachiavelliBus1 I would agree with you if there was a strategy to gain Indy but there isn’t. Swinney is part of the problem. Needs a clear out, fresh leadership and an actual strategy other than holding out the begging bowl and saying please sir can we have some more.
@DougWilgocki@wbrienb@zachariaspro earth wld be a barren wasteland if that happened, or had happened in the past. Nothing survives those winds. If the theory says crust shift takes a year it might allow some survival not this. Also you’d need an alternative theory to evolution if everything dies every 12k years.
@tiredpanda22@MailOnlineScot You sound very angry for some reason. Scottish independence has nothing to do with England, it’s not giving the finger to anyone, it’s about Scotland making its own decisions. Why does that anger so many people?
