Conservatives equals more money in your pocket, simple really. The left get in now and then and make an utter arse of it, Labour leaving a note saying there's no money left when they left office sums it up, there isn't an alternative. The independence people really need to look at the figures, it's a pipedream.

Tell that to those in poverty, relying on food banks after years of cuts and austerity.

Nae sure I agree with you there RS,  if some shit happened that completely fucked the Scottish economy we would have Westminster money to bail us out. 

We have the best of both worlds in my opinion basically can do what we want but have a safety net. It’s nae like Boris is dictating to us.
 

The only reason the UK can borrow the billions of debt it has is because it is backed up by the natural resource of Scottish oil. The Scottish economy isn't exactly great, but at least we actually export things and produce things, oil, whisky, food and drinking, manufacturing and tourism. Half the English economy can be and will be replaced by an AI of moderate ability to sell insurance and investment banking in the next decade or two. London is one of the biggest economic bubbles in human history.

Again showing just how out of touch you are.

Boris will see us all do well, he's handling the virus really well while delivering the Brexit we voted for, shameful the biggest party in our region won't back our fishermen but he'll swat them aside, put your trust in him. I honestly believe our greatest leader since Churchill.

First sentence=? unless you are talking about the 1% and left/right doesn't exist in two party dominant politics...if it ever really did. This is also the case in the country I live in. Politicians are too frightened to offend those 1% and spend their time doing their bidding at the expense of everybody else.

I actually hope he delivers this Brexit that you and many others voted for, I think it's great especially when you see areas that voted for it get all the extra 'stuff' they didn't anticipate.  The people of Kent getting their back gardens tarmacked over and their property value drop over night, all the old pensioners that have moved to Spain and France now being unable to sustain living there due to the extras costs "I didn't realise that taking back control of our borders meant we'd be treated like this" one of my favourite quotes I read from some 70 year old white woman that loves staying in Benidorm because of the food and culture that had just found out she'd need x amount to stay there and very expensive health insurance, LOL.  Then we have the people of Cornwall who voted for Brexit, they are now out with the begging bowl wanting £700m to cover the EU funding that they will be losing, tremendous!  Now on to the farmers, wonderful, wonderful British farmers, the lads that thrive on exploiting European workers, seen one guy on the news last week who owned a company that specialised in providing European staff for farmers, reckons as of Jan 1st his company is no longer viable, shame but he voted for it so he'll have to live that, it's also funny that this pandemic highlighted just how much farmers rely on European workers so next year will be even funnier.

 

I also think it's fantastic that the current cost of Brexit is already more than what GREAT Britain had paid in EU fees over the years, only to be more restricted and cut off, after all we're just a tiny island that pines for the good old days of Colonialism, sadly for Boris, his paymasters and the people that bought in to this, those days won't be coming back, it's time for the reality check on how small this place really is.  Now it's best to start getting ready for all the fall out of what they voted for and wanted, huge job losses, medicine, food and fuel shortages, long delays at customs check points, tighter restrictions on travel, the loss of some basic human rights and a very weak economy.

 

RULE BRITANNIA BABY!!!!

These are all facts are they?  Things that haven't happened yet?  Most of those things are going to happen now anyway as a consequence of the shamdemic.

COVID will be the perfect excuse for the Brexit wanks when it all goes pear-shaped.

Excellent post, Minijc. Come what January the 1st, this island of ours may as well follow the route of the lost continent of Atlantis or drift away off the planet. We are well and truly fucked. 

Just a theory but don't you think it is very much coincidental that not too long after confirming the UK's decision to leave the EU by 01/01/2021, and the other trade alliances that go with it, we are hit with a global  "pandemic" of which the UK is allegedly deeply effected with, pro rata.  

Like I say, just a thought but I wonder if we would even be aware this "horrid" virus existed at all had we remained after all.
