It's all got a bit pathetic for Sturgeon. Cameron acquiesced to the SNP's demands, then May told her to shove it.
Since then it has become accepted to tell her no "for a generation". She is finished.

From the Article in October 2016...
"So, I can confirm today that the Independence Referendum Bill will be published for consultation next week."
May 2019...
Indyref2: Nicola Sturgeon publishes referendum Bill at Holyrood - The Scotsman
I think they are "bringing forward" and putting stuff "on the table" just now, as we speak.
"We all knew this was coming?
No, some of us always knew they talk complete tulipe.Leave a comment:

Absolute nutters...Originally posted by minestrone View PostI mentioned on here a couple of weeks ago about the worrying trend of SNP MPs, MSPs and councilors equating the conservative's brexit process to the actions of the Nazis in the 1930s.
This reached peak ****wittery at the SNP conference where an Australian and long standing SNP supporter compared his family's inability to get employment to satisfy an offer of a Tier 2 visa to the Nazi's treatment on the Jews...

To equate a working visa issue with the holocaust is total fruitbattery.
I would say with some certainty that this is a top down strategy, now the economic argument is completely gone the narrative must be shifted to the claim that Scottish people at
e 'morally superior' ( yes, they have used that term ). These people are dangerous.

The SNP run a centralised, right of centre government whilst claiming be a socialist party to keep all the leftist crazies on side.
They spent years arguing against dropping the top rate of tax and when they got the power to put it back to 50% they used the same line as Thatcher that it would cost money.
It's hilarious how thick their followers are.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostCan the Scottish government cut corporation tax like other small countries such as Ireland? No
Can the Scottish government cut VAT? No.
Can the Scottish government change the amount of duty collect on the fuel? No.
The only thing they can do is raise tax on income and land-tax. And on that I should remind you on that one power the SNP have excelled. There's little appetite to purchase silly expensive houses given the stamp duty. In 2015 16,000 new houses were built in Scotland compared to 140,000 in England. That's 0.32% in Scotland versus 0.22% in England.
Clearly where the Scottish government has authority it is using it better.
Me and my A-game
Does Scotland a considerably more £ get more per head than England, Wales or Northern Ireland? Yes
Is it easier to build houses in Scotland than England given population density and where it's required? Yes
Does Scooterscot make over simplistic statements to reinforce his argument? Absolutely.Last edited by The_Equalizer; 21 October 2016, 13:01.Leave a comment:
