(All of which have been found unjustified<br /><br />It's odd how they seem less inclined to challenge the lies that the Secretary of State tells about how much poorer Scotland would be, by mixing up his figures, particularly when he puts up figures for England and Wales according to 2011 census, and for Scotland using figures from a 2001 census.<br /><br />The lies yesterday consisted of talking about the Scottish government, duly elected by the people of Scotland, as a dictatorship. <br /><br />Any majority government, of course, has an element of dictatorship in their behaviour.

That woman was some nut job, wasn't she?<br /><br />I have no problem with people from England making a contribution to the debate on Scotland's future.<br /><br />It is fair enough that they should have a say on the transfer of power from their government to ours, but at least she should have read up on Scotland first.<br /><br />To say the country was, and always had been, independent was just plain weird.<br /><br />I wonder how she would feel if Germans or French had a say in the future of England in the EU.<br /><br />The trouble with the positive case for the union is that, for the ordinary man on the street, there isn't one.<br /><br />Yes, we won't have nuclear weapons; the American president won't be on the phone to Bute house every month or so, telling us what to do; no, we won't have an embassy in Burkino Fasso, but we will have the use of the services of the French Ambassador, should we ever need him; no, we won't have the forth most expensive military in the world, but then we won't really need one.<br /><br />On the other hand, we will have better roads, better schools and better health, as the money that used to be wasted on being a world power will be spent in these areas.<br /><br />You only have to look at Norway...

That is ...Dean: We don't celebrate Bannockburn. That is to say, I've never yet heard of anyone celebrating Bannockburn.<br /><br />If you can find me anyone anywhere from the SNP or any of the other parties in Scotland that want independence stating any wish to celebrate the slaughter of Englishmen, then I'll be pleased to print the reference and apologise to Davidson.<br /><br />As I said in my post, however, it is as well to put Bannockburn in it's place in history. Just as, say, it is with Dresden, or Coventry, in the context of the fact that Germany is now a close ally and partner in the EU. Or perhaps Waterloo, given that France and the UK now have a pact to share nuclear secrets and aircraft carriers.<br /><br />You will find, time and time, if you bother to read anything Alex Salmond, or any of the other politicians, or indeed the YES campaign say, that we look to co-operate in every way with England. Time and time again the situation has been compared to Scandinavia where the countries are separate, but have open borders, and co-operate over many multi-national matters.<br /><br />Only from the warped and frightening mind of people like "doing" Davidson, the man who seems to control his committee by threatening female members who disagree with him and are his intellectual superiors, with a bit of violence, with sexual overtones, do we get these repulsive statements.<br /><br />That is politics at its most filthy and guttural. It reminds me of the Glasgow councillor who threatened a Labour member that if she didn't vote his way he would ensure that her disabled son lost his apprenticeship with the council. <br /><br />I don't know who chaired that debate as speaker, but I suspect that he or she was a unionist.<br /><br />If an SNP or green politician had made a claim of that kind of preposterousness, they would have been told to withdraw. <br /><br />His suggestion that people in this country celebrate the deaths of anyone, is a slur on every single Scot.<br /><br />Davidson is an abhorrent thug. Even thinking about what he said makes me want to vomit.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-58715557997941262062013-01-17T10:03:17.896+00:002013-01-17T10:03:17.896+00:00I only managed a few minutes of the "debate&q...I only managed a few minutes of the "debate" as that Effing Tory from Epping was on. Apparently most of the 6 hours was as bad. I don't have a problem with people who want to vote no. That's their democratic right. I do mind when their "argument" consists of a pile of steaming excrement based of remarks such as dictatorships, Braveheart being the only reason we want independence (give me strength) and the rest. <br />Many have asked for the positive case for the union, we are still waiting.panda pawsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-42984825419729323932013-01-17T01:33:38.424+00:002013-01-17T01:33:38.424+00:00"Standards authority????" You mean that ..."Standards authority????" You mean that there's a body that rules on whether politicians tell the truth or not? Seriously, that's amazing.<br /><br />No such thing in the US of course where First Amendment free speech (in a political context where slander or libel is not an issue) protects lying speech just as much as truthful speech; and lying about your opponents is just another useful political tactic. (And probably the one most used.)<br /><br />Bannockburn is mentioned by a narrator at the end of "Braveheart." And that's seriously being discussed in terms of the referendum campaign? That's crazy enough to be an American political tactic. Surely you must respond with rhetoric about Longshanks....or maybe even about the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden. ;) Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450203101640592230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-58539894078926264432013-01-17T01:29:42.855+00:002013-01-17T01:29:42.855+00:00Ian Davidson point is that its meaningless to cele...Ian Davidson point is that its meaningless to celebrate Bannockburn in our modern, progressive times. We don't need to celebrate Scotto-English hatreds, wars and battles anymore. <br /><br />Can't we focus on the positives and not the negatives?<br /><br />Like working together to form the welfare state? Like the BBC? Like MOD jobs across Scotland? Like a democracy which is multicultural and forward looking in so many respects; like a minimum wage to be proud about having established.<br /><br />Ian is right, the SNP need to stop this pathetic navel gazing into the darker chapters in our less enlightened history in these British isles. We're working together rather than fighting today. Maybe the SNP could just once, just once mind - concede that working with rather than against England is a better system?<br /><br />Dean MacKinnon-Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221192592535723681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-20495044342168905092013-01-16T23:01:40.187+00:002013-01-16T23:01:40.187+00:00Nah CH.
