This is like arguing that you should stay in an abusive marriage, because it's the "natural state of things".
The real natural state of things has largely been for nations to break away from the United Kingdom.
None of which have wanted to return.
There is no positive case.
Nats are keen on asking for ‘the positive case for the union’ as if this is some earth shattering clincher of an argument….ok will try my best
‘the positive case for the UK,it is the natural state of things,it’s as plain as 1+ 1 = 10 it’s how the planet runs now’
A reminder. Barack Obama intervened during Scotland's independence campaign to tell people to vote No.
That was at the request of David Cameron.
Cameron was also making the same requests to other world leaders to intervene in our domestic politics.
Including Vladimir Putin.
I don’t care what your politics are. This is a totally inappropriate intervention in another country’s domestic politics. Just not done to an ally. Being right doesn’t make it right
A number of people have painkiller resistance issues. Someone who is popping three or four paracetamol regularly for something like toothache, is going to inevitably need stronger pain relief for other minor ailments.
And that's also assuming they haven't damaged their liver.
For anyone failing to understand why Therese Coffey's plan to make antibiotics more widely available, or boasting about freely handing them out to friends and family is a terrible idea, let me explain.
Taking them when you don't need them can lead to antibiotic resistance.
If you take antibiotics when they aren't necessary, such as for illnesses that would not be alleviated by them, then you run the risk of antibiotics not working later when you actually do need them.
This is why the advice was not to take antibiotics for Covid-19.
False. Public media appearances by government officials are classed as government business.
Also the trip was not simply to appear on Loose Women.
Sturgeon was also involved in other meetings in London, which included European ambassadors.
Hence the need for a 2-night stay.
Why not just take the train? And why did she need to stay for 2 nights at £500 a night? This wasn't govt business so why has it been billed to the taxpayer @NicolaSturgeon
- Economy in the toilet
- Over 200,000 dead from Covid
- A decade of hounding the sick and disabled
- One of the worst state pensions in the developed world
- Sewage dumped in rivers and beaches
- The hostile environment
Yeah, feel the success of that union just oozing.
Gerry if you want to break apart a centuries successful political economic and social union and erect a border with your only landward neighbour, you’re a nationalist.
You’re also wrong.
Murdo's been deaf on LGBTQ rights in general, and made his career from it. Homophobes seem to gravitate to the Tories like flies to shit.
So quite frankly, fuck his "concerns" on gender ID.

@LibSocRants @Tantacrul Reportedly the protesters factored in the fact that there's a sheet of glass protecting the painting. So they knew it would grab attention, without damaging the painting itself.
According to the gallery, it was just the frame that suffered damage.
You mean the same Keir Starmer who said that he "wants to make Brexit work"?
Single market membership is likely. But asking the EU to welcome the UK back is a huge ask after the last 6 years of insanity whipped up by the Tories and a hostile media.
If Starmer becomes the next PM, I think there is a good chance the UK will rejoin the single market within two years and the EU within five years. You heard it here first!
So how does everyone think Alex Jones will pay for the lawsuits?
Start an OnlyFans?
Put Paul Joseph Watson on eBay?
Sell exclusively Herbalife products on the InfoWars store?
I wonder if @jonstewart stands by his position that Joe Rogan isn't an idealogue and dishonest actor in the same way that Tucker Carlson is?
The same Joe Rogan who routinely defended and platformed Alex Jones, who has now lost over $1 billion in damages for his Sandy Hook lies.
To everyone who defends Joe Rogan and claim he's not transphobic: in his latest episode he teams up with Tulsi Gabbard to praise pedophile defender Matt Walsh's transphobic hit piece "What Is A Woman" and goes on to spread debunked Libs of TikTok litter box conspiracy theories
On a scale of 1-7, how do you think "Rangers" fans are feeling today?
Still. Being mostly British Nationalists, the fans really got what they wanted.
A quick exit from Europe.
There were so many holes in that defence, it was like watching news reports of the Russian frontline.
I'll go on record. Yes, I hate @JeremyRBalfour.
It's the best word to describe how many feel towards those knowingly propping up this government, and it's many vicious attacks on a variety of people.
This is like a bully crying that you can't hate them after they assaulted you.
“There’s 20,000 people have died through austerity measures due to Tories so how do I express how unhappy I am with what you have done?”
This audience member asks @JeremyRBalfour what word is more appropriate than “detest” for how she feels #bbcdn https://t.co/iv1ev9Cyzb
