Don't you constantly compare the SNP to Nazis ? As with most of your arguments, it's OK for you to do it, but if anyone else does, it's wrong ?

Go back to supporting the bombing of shopping centres. Bloody Nazi...

I see Tom Harris read my post and decided to address the same issue in the Telegraph today...

Can Leftists please stop comparing everything they don't like to Hitler?

I 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 are 'morally superior' ( yes, they have used that term ). These people are dangerous.

Earlier this month, the “Baby of the House”, Britain’s youngest MP, the SNP’s Mhairi Black, penned a newspaper column in which she claimed that the Conservative Party’s immigration policies were “reminiscent of early 1930s Nazi Germany”.

At last week’s SNP conference, Christina McKelvie MSP made the same claim, specifically with regard to Home Secretary Amber Rudd’s (admittedly ludicrous) proposal that UK companies should state how many of their workers are non-UK citizens. *This, said Ms McKelvie, was “reminiscent of the Nazis”.
But the worst, most offensive, most inaccurate and most blatant smear came from a non-politician at the same conference.

Gregg Brain, an Australian whose family was almost deported from Scotland after they overstayed and broke the terms of their post-study work visa and who only elicited a U-turn from the Home Office after a clever and emotive PR campaign, proudly wore a yellow badge with the letter “F” on it as he took to the stage in Glasgow. This, Mr Brain told delirious delegates, was “a response to Amber Rudd’s programme”.

A yellow badge. Denoting his alien status.

What could possibly be offensive about that?

What Mr Brain and his new friends in the SNP fail, perhaps deliberately, to understand is that comparing modern, democratic governments to the Nazis, while naturally giving the offence intended, also denigrates the victims of the actual regime which is being used in the comparison.
Jews living in Nazi-occupied Europe were not subjected to seemingly needless bureaucracy and given 30 days’ notice to leave the country or face further fines.

They were not politely but firmly informed that unless they secured full time employment, their immigration status couldn’t be guaranteed, and they were certainly not indulged by the media to broadcast their grievances and encourage popular support for their plight.

No, Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe were beaten, tortured, raped, deported and executed. They were deprived of their employment, their possessions, their dignity and, ultimately, their lives.
They were not invited to address rival parties’ conferences in order to denounce the very politicians who had used their ministerial discretion to allow them to stay in the country for another year.

All the rUK stuff would leave Scotland and they'd become a bigger basket case than Greece.

That time has come and gone apparently.

Potential of improving logistics attracts foreign players to Greece


Scotland is a bigger economic basket case than Greece


Obviously people in Scotland are taking more holidays whilst driving around in their Prosche Cayennes

Regardless Brexit is one of the few scenarios where a second referendum so close to the first seems justifiable. But should wait until we have actually left in case it all falls through - which I reckon could still happen.

Correct. It would be hilarious if Scexit happened and Brexit didn't.

Oddly the red lines keep getting put back from the bold Nicola, first it was leaving the EU which would trigger another referendum, now it is the single market. In a years time when it gets confirmed we are leaving that she will put it back to something else.

God forbid she wins and is left holding the baby!
