You sir are a complete contradiction.

 

:laughing:

 

A lassie I once dated said something similar. You are not trying to 'come onto me' are you?

 

I am not really, I am just someone who thinks for himself.

 

Hence you tend to end up with a variety of opinions, rather than one of the pre-packed identities and opinion-sets which dominate the west of scotland (the two main ones are aligned with each of the arse cheek football clubs).

 

The result is that you can empathise with everyone, but everyone is deeply suspicious of you :laughing:

Cavey, seriously, your 'peado' chat is brutal. You've tried to get it going for about 10 people on here. Not only is it pointless you're not even funny with it. Carry on though man, if it stops you fucking banging on about trainers like some Aberdonian Imelda Marcos with brain damage

Bank of England governor Mark Carney insisted yesterday that it would be economically possible for an independent Scotland to share the pound.

But he said that didn’t mean it would be “politically desirable”.
Carney reignited the currency debate while appearing before Westminster’s treasury committee ahead of the publication of the SNP’s growth commission report on Friday.
It is expected to change the party’s policy by backing the creation of a Scottish currency.
The Yes campaign controversially proposed a currency union ahead of the 2014 referendum.
The move that was widely seen as a key reason for their defeat – after George Osborne, who was chancellor at the time, said he would veto it.
Carney was asked yesterday whether he believed a currency union also required a political union.
He replied: “No, from the strict economics it doesn’t”.

Does anyone actually have an appetite for another one of these?

 

I don't think so. But the SNP are duty bound to talk about it / bang the drum every so often, so it looks like there is a point to them.

 

Seems like Sturgeon is reigniting, reactivating or relaunching the notion every second month.

 

Ultimately they want "independent" Scotland to be run from Brussels, while they prance about Edinburgh looking and feeling important.

Its a lot bigger than my appetite for, Brexit, the government deporting our own citizens, a falling NHS, vast inequality, a stagnant economy and the real value of wages falling.

 

So aye. Im still all for it.

 

 

My point was just that it's been 4 years, it's never (really) gone away, we have an election or a referendum every year and now its on again.

 

Ennui in the electorate has surely set in.

The SNP want an independent scotland to be in the EU you fucking mong.

 

That's whats most scary about folk like you, you don't even know what it is you are advocating.

 

Aye but they won't let us back in remember.

 

#bettertogether.

 

Are all the countries lined up to enter/possibly enter the EU joining the currency union?

 

No, of course they aren't.

 

The most scary thing about you is your belief in a sky wizzard, trying to pass off child rape as homo sexuality, and a general intolerance of other views despite not having a single clue about what it is your are talking about.

Quite possibly. But I presume that has effected all the electorate not just the "Yes" camp. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people marched in Glasgow just a few weeks ago.

 

This isn't going away, it'll just take time. I'm not saying this is the best and far from the easiest time to push for it. But I'll never advocate not trying.

There will be another referendum in the next two years

 

If Scotland votes No again and instead chooses a future that endorses a 'too wee, too stupid', attitude along with Brexit, Windrush, Right Wing, Tory voting, Rees Mogg, Boris Johnson, Bedroom taxing, DUP reliance, Murdo Fraser, Ruth Davidson United Kingdom instead...

 

....then hell fucking mend us, we'll never deserve it anyway

 

Just shut down Holyrood if we shite it again

Hundreds and hundreds of thousands?

 

Hyperbolic surely

 

There's a hardcore of SNP people for whom this is all and thus will be happy to take up the cudgel, I think the turnout, if and when, will be lower.

That will suit the Independence movement as that support of about 40-45% will hold up and when the finishing line is lower.

Better chance of winning.
