@Free_to_leave Most English people have a ‘British’ identity over any other. But the English Nationalists that exist know deep down that without Scotland’s oil wealth, the £ would tank.
@Jennyfurfuls Tories are not cheap you know, they have to make sure their chums all get a cut. You can’t expect a Tory to not suck all of us dry so they can enrich themselves, it’s what they do and who they are.
@g_gosden Hey I am a mere spring chicken at 51. I can say hand on heart, the 70s, 80s and most of the 90s were utterly shite. Things only 'got better' later.
@SaorAlba22 You know, I live next the Clyde. I see these grey ships moving up and down it quite often. We build those you know, just down the road. We could make a couple of our own, and take that area back. Just a thought.
@gj1023 Right.. so let's look back.. the Tories, The Bankers, the Winter of Discontent, Suez, The Second World War, the First World War, the Boer War.... so, I guess you could say beating your kids to teach them respect, resulted in .... lots of Wars?
@gj1023 To be expected, the enemy of my enemy, etc. If you treat people as your enemy, make no provisions for diplomacy and start throwing aircraft carriers all over the shop. Those that worry about your intentions, are likely to club together for mutual protection.
@ilovenostalgia the term 'British'. Which is meaningless. The island is called 'Great Britain', the country is called the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. 'British' these days usually means a citizen of the UK who doesn't understand geography, history or social democracy.
@celticwitch1995 Such a waste, imagine the tax revenue that crop could have made for the Scottish treasury. We could fund all our primary services with a tax on weed in Glasgow alone. The only sensible choice is make it legal, ensure its quality and tax it to the same level as Beer and Wine.
@Highlander_123 Ok so on the face off it, I support this idea, its a well rounded philosophy most often called Anarchism. However these days we tend to prefer the term 'Libertarian Marxist'.
