    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Actually I don't agree the UK is bullying Scotland, I think the Tories are bullying the whole country into doing what is best for the City of London. That's all every Tory leader has done since Thatcher. Can't complain that someone is at least standing up for one particular part of it - whether she's going the right way about it is another matter. Sturgeon was the first to put forward a solid plan. May threw it in the bin. If that was an employer who did that constantly to an employee, it would look like bullying to me anyway. I'm not saying IndyRef is the way to go necessarily. It's not Sturgeon driving it though, it's actually May...

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Yeah, I get no feels for SNP disillusionment. In fact, I'd be amazed if Labour don't lose control of Glasgow. Problem isn't Sturgeon or the SNP - it's that all the other parties in Scotland look like they are beholden to their Westminster based parties. As I've said before, they all look like various shades of Tory. But let's look at those party leaders. Ruth Davidson - Conservative - professional photo op girl, a winning smile who always asks questions which backfire because she complains about things in Scotland which are being done better up here on a reduced budget than they are down South. Kezia Dugdale - Labour - professional whinger, she's adopted more different positions on various matters than the Kama Sutra (yes let's have Indyref 2, no let's not/Jeremy will be a disaster for Labour, good old Jeremy got elected huzzah for Jeremy/Scotland doesn't need any more powers, you've got new powers so use them). Willie Rennie - LibDems - professional smugnuts, forgets that when his party was in coalition with Labour his party threw away most of their policies to implement the Blair agenda - remind you of Clegg and the Conservatives? Patrick Harvie - Greens - professional opposition, needs the votes to support him but not enough people are politically engaged enough to hear their message. Protest votes against SNP more likely to go here. The strength of feeling I get is SNP are standing up for Scotland. It's a device that is working. When the bully gets smacked by the bullied a cheer goes up, the bullied isn't called a whinger who should go off and commit suicide. UK plc is bullying Scotland into a corner, and Brexit might get them a smack in the face unless May really takes notice. Imo, of course...

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2018

    Wasn't someone banging on about the heavy bias towards US/UK names on the Deathlist? I can't remember where I saw it. Anyway, why don't some of our European posters suggest say 10 significant names from their own country in this thread for next year for the DL Committee to consider? Might redress the balance somewhat. Just a thought...

    I wear one just like that for deer hunting. Rappers are like deer. One way or another, a significant number end up getting shot.

    Well, Theresa May won't be reading any stories on Jackanory with that performance. Can't see her getting anything like what she wants re Customs Union. Wonder how long it will be for capital flight to kick in. Hopefully interest rates will rise due to anticipated inflation. I could do with a boost to my savings. Sturgeon already rumbling about IndyRef 2.
