Indy Ref

[maggiebee]

Good enough for the Falkland Islands but NOT for Scotland. What a joke.

“The Prime Minister stressed that the Falkland Islanders, like all people, have a right to self-determination.”

yeah
they did it - a few years ago
or do you mean exercise a refendum on a weekly basis for ever?

[middlemarch]

The reaction of most of my friends to Sturgeon's latest stunt, "What fresh hell is this?"

[davebro]

Maybe they could put the Indy question on the council tax forms - get a new result every year. (it would always be no!)

[maggiebee]

Aye, my dad always told me never to argue with an idiot/fool so just going to sign out for a while!

Proverbs 26:4-5 – Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. The self-confident fool thinks too highly of himself and his opinions, and he shares them freely.

[davebro]

ah - lost the argument then?

[middlemarch]

She does not actually have any argument, does she. Just tosses slurs around.

[Prudie]

Maggie has never even been involved in the argument. Posts it and never comments until more than 70 answers and then next day just quotes 2 other sources rather than her own opinions. So it was really just a squirt of the usual lemons rather than a genuine means to explain why independence would be so good.

PRUDIE, "TCL you need to do some more Google research before you try to prove people wrong."

Perhaps you need to consider if the relatives and friends of the millions interred or murdered by the Nazis in The Holocaust consider that Nazi, "is simply an abbreviation for nationalist"?

[Prudie]

OMG that is a shamefully below the belt retort and furthermore you know its totally irrelevant to what is being discussed here. Nazis were called Nazis because of the pronunciation of the word in German.

//Nazi, "is simply an abbreviation for nationalist"?//

No, it's an abbreviation & a derogatory term for National Socialist (Nationalsozialist)

Churchill always missed out the T sound & said 'Na zee'
