Joey Russ 7,119 Posted June 21, 2017 Just to be clear, I find The Mad Hatter's post above completely unacceptable and (in my eyes at least) seems in a way to be promoting animal abuse, which is absolutely unacceptable. I don't take my offense lightly and, in this posters opinion, don't think the post should get away unpunished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billions being spent on renewing the Palace of Westminster, Buckingham Palace, nuclear weapons. Austerity until the 2030s. Poverty levels set to rise and a never ending withdrawal from the EU which transitional period for same will continue and continue. Fishing rights to be sold to prop up the City of London. Farming subsidies diminished. A health service that will be slowly and creepingly privatised for a crappy trade deal with the US. The deportation of people who have made a home here and contributed to its success. Lack of affordable homes for the young and existing housing which people are frightened to live in. Less money for local services and schools in particular, while subsidising countries abroad with UK money. Continued terrorist attacks. Independence hasn't gone. The Scots will be crying out for it within 5 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean he won't be on tv all the time warning against an early referendum? He was giving her trouble as recently as March ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/06/former-snp-leader-nicola-sturgeon-cannot-avoid-second-independence/ The irony is he called for Angus Robertson to quit as Westminster group leader so he could focus on the ref campaign. He got his wish on that at least, courtesy of the voters, but it now looks like there won't be a ref campaign ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
