Nicola's Speech......

[ToraToraTora]

She's spent the last 40 mins on "independence" but she doesn't what that. If they'll let her in, the first thing she wants to do is join the EUSSR. How is that independence?. Perhaps now is an appropriate time to ask the famous 10:
1) How will you replace the funding you get from England?
2) Are you happy to continue using the pound but have no control of it?
3) How will you service your part of the national debt?
4) How will you stop the inevitable exodus to England once the decision has been made?
5) Will you continue to offer free prescriptions, university etc ?
6) …if so how far are you prepared to raise taxes for those that remain?
7) How will you attract investment to, what will have to be a high taxation area?
8) How will you replace and fund the parts of the UK infrastructure that you now take for granted? Eg military, police, public transport?
9) are you prepared to adopt the EURO as a condition of joining the EUSSR?
10) Are you prepared to construct a border as a condition of joining the EUSSR?

The SNP have never addressed any of the above perhaps our res

Here's hoping she gets Indyref2 & CONvinces enough Scots to vote for it!

5 threads started in less than an hour. Not working today, TTT?

perseverer, genius never sleeps me old china.

Good. Threads are what keep
AB going.

My sister lives in Scotland. She voted SNP for the last two elections. Hiwever, she does not want Independence so if it comes to a General Election and the SNP are saying they will use the election as a show of those that want Indendence she has two choices. 1. Do not vote or 2. Vote for another Party, but which would you choose??

[perseverer]

......allowing the same people to say much the same thing over and over again!

TBF though, the SNP does exist to gain "independence" so why would someone who does not want that vote for them?

Amazed that a poster with so much disdain for Sturgeon posts endlessly about her?

Yet despite voting for Truss, swiftly changed his avatar from her picture and posted virtually nothing(if at all?) about Truss nor the Tories at their conference?

Always looking to blame someone else, never their fault, endless whataboutery.
Sounds like jealousy that the Scots have a First Minister who is competent, cares passionately about her country and if nothing else has a clear vision, regardless of what it is?

Oh for the same, eh?

//Good. Threads are what keep AB going.//

But not so when some are duplication some 4-5 hours after the originals were posted.
Yet some try to discourage others from posting OP’s, unless it’s Scotland/Labour bashing of course?

[naomi24]

Fatticusinch, you’re amazed that someone with such disdain for Nicola posts about her. Does this mean that you have the greatest respect for the Tory politicians you continually bang on about? I think we should be told lest the impression we’ve gained is doing you an injustice.

[ToraToraTora]

Funny how no one seems to be able to answer these very pertinent questions isn't it.

I’ve respect for any politician that is doing their best and serving the public to the best of their ability as they’re supposed to, regardless of which party they’re in.
Problem is, there haven’t been too many Tories one doing that of late, have their, least of all cabinet ministers?
Seems the decent Tories are cast out into the cold because the new government is pursuing Continuity Johnson.
But why aren’t those who voted for her lauding the achievements of Liz Truss and her government?
Fickle flip-flippers who’ve realised she’s hopeless and lacking in the gravitas and quality to pull it off?
Fixated instead with the Scottish FM because if nothing else she seems to have a clear plan and is sticking to it?
You’d have thought that someone who posted about voting Truss into power might be concentrating their efforts elsewhere as a party member?
Or is this closer to the truth?

[murraymints]

twill never happen ! sigh.. Bravehearters the lot of them that think indy can ever be an option ! fortunately the majority of Scots are sensible !

Lol, like how well Truss is doing in office? Why did she even join the leadership race?
Can she unite a deeply divided and fractured party? She’s already proving her weight in gold…..for Labour.

[bobbinwales]

What a suprise, fatticus again tries to change the topic of a thread on to their agenda.. One trick pony..

[FatticusInch]

Wahey, you’ve listened to some of the tips I gave you! Good lad.

[FatticusInch]

Despite no link in the OP, regardless of the posters insistence when others start a thread without, I found one.

To coin a phrase, she’s bang on!

[davebro]

I despise Scots who vote for the SNP but against independence. They are miserable wretches with no moral values.

A grateful nation thanks you.

Put the machine gun down, the only use you’re getting out of it is continually shooting yourself in the foot.
