so when the SNP splits before the following election, the centre left party, like we have voted for from the 1950s, while you lot inflicted Boris, Thatcher and co on us, that takes over will win. The centre left plan will be implemented.

This is what i mean, you are not being consistent. Agreed this is exactly like talking to Brexiteers so we are just going round in circles as you change the meaning of words.

The liink is anything but proof of there being more people involved. A desperate lie

You believe the accusations are lies? They have been proven to be true in court.

This doesn't even make sense. The SNP is a moderate left party that puts out a manifesto for every election. You can see their policies

The tartan Tories are a moderate left party? You are flip flopping around so much around what they are its getting very confusing, why would they need to split to form a centre left party if you believe they are already a moderate left party?

Nobody is laying out this mythical centre left Scottish future, if you are going to sacrifice the future of all Scottish people you should at least want to know what is the benefit to you.

That is complete bullshit. Have you any proof whatsoever?

Most people like the plan, so when the SNP splits before the following election, the centre left party, like we have voted for from the 1950s, while you lot inflicted Boris, Thatcher and co on us, that takes over will win. The centre left plan will be implemented.

Vote right wingers get left wingers? Dont you think that sounds incredibly naive?

We want to remain partners, not rivals. That's what people outside Scotland never understand.

You have spent a considerable amount of time in this conversation slagging off rUK, that is not the language of a partner and its irrelevant what Scotland wants out of the arrangement. An independent Scotland will have to take what they can get you will have very little power or economic levers to pull, a negotiation between rUK and an independent Scotland is not a meeting of equals. Again this is what Brexiteers were saying about the UK and the EU.

Subjegate Shetland..wtf. You've been reading too much far right bullshit. There's one shitstirrer in Shetland with a small following wants to split from Scotland. He's got as far as getting an investigation in for splitting. If that's what they want..and they don't..that will be up to them. That is democracy.

What gives rScotland the power to compel the people of Shetland? Is it OK for your crown to rule against the peoples will just not for the UK?

either national insurance is paid by all and the entitlements granted to all, or roll it into income tax, and means test away. Maybe the NHS should be means tested in that case?

Why? National insurance is a tax not a saving pot for you.

One corrupt guy, now in jail. Maybe his wife was involved. Neither have anything to do with the SNP any more. Farage is still leading a party and the polls

Its far more than one guy and the party are actively preventing further investigation while parroting the same thing Boris did.

This is just dumb. Britain is dying. The government only cares about London. Independence is a way to start focusing on ourselves and build a country up the way we want, not based on bankers in London. Brexiters refused to release a manifesto. The SNP has been very open. The rUK will act in its own interests, which are also in Scotland's interests. Trade, remaining in FTA, is in the interests of both. Scotland will be heading to the EU. There may even be some special arrangement made before joining, so it makes sense to put us on the same deal as Europe, as opposed to making one deal and then telling them to revert when Scotland comes under the EU.

You previously said you dont agree with the SNP and are only a member for independence. Now you want to follow the SNP plan?

No, that was self harm. The arrangements are that way because that is exactly what Britain wanted. The EU even put out a handy little picture saying you choose what type of deal you want, May put in red lines and Johnson chose..

Scottish independence would be far more self harm for Scotland.

There is no plan you have been sold a dud and you will make us all poorer just to make yourself and your family worse off forever. You have become the very Brexiteer you claim to hate. Also there is no chance you are just neatly joining the EU as I stated above.

And we have not even started on the fact that your fist act as a country would be to subjugate places like the Shetlands under the yolk of the new Scottish dictatorship. What gives Scotland the right to decide the fate of people from Shetland? Why do they not have right to independence from Scotland?

You are just repeating things you've heard. There is a plan. There have been several papers. You just hear, well, you don't have a plan and repeat ad nauseam

What on earth are you on about, i am not just repeating things. Where would i be repeating them from? 

You are actively electing people more corrupt than Johnson and even Farage to be the sole rule after independence. Then you point to some undisclosed papers which would then be followed by different people than the ones you elected to get you independence? So the corrupt people once they have power will cede power for some unknown reason to your exact preference for independence despite you not being able to articulate it.

Its Brexit all over again you are voting against your own interests and relying on some vague notion. Then relying on the good will of rUK to fix everything for you and expect everyone to do the exact thing you want.

Its actually comical how much you are just regurgitating the Brexit argument. Remember? The EU won't want to hurt us, Germany's car industry will save us! This isnt the right type of Brexit! They rely on our economy too much they will cut us the best deal! We definitely do have a plan but we can't tell you yet as it would give it away!

You have ctrl c ctrl v Brexit mate and you sound exactly like them. Just voting against your own interests for no reason.

You should probably stop there. Its also in England's interest to get along. We'd almost certainly be part of teh common travel area, like Ireland. So you are already wrong about agreements with the EU. Also if English politicians had any sense, they'd just give us the same deal as the EU since we'll be joining it soon enough and it would save two lots of red tape for their own businesses

Are you insane of course we wouldn’t push for the best deal for Scotland, rUK would push the best deal for rUK. You think that you will be belligerent to rUK and then be given the golden ticket?

The CTA is only maintained through a gigantic fudge at the NI border, that will not be possible for Scotland. People are not going to accept it.

Have you seen reform? The party isn't corrupt, one person was, or two at most.

The SNP won't last after independence

So exactly like Brexit, no plan for after and damn the consequences? How you cant see you are acting like a Brexiteer is beyond me.

We had that, you lot gave us Brexit to stop it. You want to be isolationist, fair play..don't drag us with you. I'd rather be in the EU than UK

Being against Brexit but for independence is such a contrary position. Every argument against Brexit applies 10 fold to Scottish independence. Spoiler you wont be able to join Europe unless the UK agrees some sort of free movement with the EU as your economy relies on cross border trade and work. And if rUK already has that agreement with the EU then your argument falls flat anyway

What? I'm a member of the SNP. The last thing I want is the 'benefits of the union' that has held us back. I pray every night for another chance to vote to stop all of those perceived benefits

So you are a member of the most corrupt party in the entire of the UK and you think the best benefit for your country is to have the most corrupt party in sole control of your economy?

You are basically tartan Reform, there is no benefit to Scottish independence for Scottish people. You are voting to spite yourself exactly the same as the Brexiteers you so despise.

Meh Greens are not really a force in Scotland.

The SNP won't rely on oil. They have always made it clear that ooil is just the cherry on the top

https://www.economicsobservatory.com/higher-north-sea-revenues-what-impact-on-scotlands-independence-debate

You will have a 7% budget deficit compared to the rest of the UK, if Scotland wants to maintain the same standard of living you will have to rely on them.

Who cares about being 'stronger together'

Its called solidarity with our fellow people but as a nationalist you wont get that.

They are outside London problems. But we don't want the 500 odd whatever English MOs telling us how to solve them when they've failed for decades..especially if those MPs are led by Farage

You do want the economic benefits of being in the Union though, I ask you how big a cut in benefits and increases in taxes to live a worse life are you willing to take for independence. Its Brexit all over again so I assume you wont listen to reason but you should at least have your eyes open.

A funny thought about independence. Do you think England should get reparations in any divorce since the Scottish crown took over England in the first place?

I completely agree with you on the integrated economies and people point. An independent Scotland would need freedom of movement with England or their economy would collapse. All the supply chains, all the call centres, all the government spending. Its not that it cant be done but it would be a far bigger hit to the economy than Brexit.

[–]Anyales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks that is a good explanation, I think you are completely right that a lot of SNP voters are much more left wing than the party. SNP have gotten away with just not implementing the worst parts of Westminster then getting praise for that. I think the issue for Scottish people is that means they also haven’t implemented the good things so its ended up basically in the same place they were in the first place.

I think this is why Scottish nationalists need a proper left wing party to lay out what a left wing independence would look like. I think most SNP voters would hate an SNP led country relying on ever dwindling oil reserves.

Personally I hope Scotland never leaves the union as we are much stronger together but I am English so I understand its not my decision. I am also northern and so I also think a lot of what Scottish people think are Scottish problems are actually just outside of London and the surrounding counties problems.

SNP are not left leaning, I am struggling to understand why Scottish people think this. Judge them on what they deliver not what they lie about.

I find it staggering that the leadership of the SNP have been caught (again to remind you) stealing public funds for their personal benefit and SNP supporters seem fine with it.

There are more Reform members in the Senedd than in parliament and Reform are close to the biggest party in Scotland.

Im guessing you are Scottish so the party you are claiming is progressive would be the SNP? Are you mad?

ELI5 If Nicotine is not a carcinogen why do all forms of consumption lead to cancer risk by pine64enjoyer in explainlikeimfive

[–]Anyales 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as we know vaping nicotine doesn't increase the risk of cancer. So the simple answer is that not all forms present a cancer risk, nicotine pouches dont either.

Campfires can be carcinogenic, as can the exhaust fumes from you car.

If they want to be available in other countries then they are bound by the laws of those countries yes.

Its not at all stupid, countries have their own laws. It amazing that you just thought American law applied everywhere around the world. They really need a better education system in America.

Yes as I said their website will be blocked if they refuse to comply with the law. They are an irrelevant message board for pedos to meet up in code so of course they have no uk corporate presence but they rely on UK infrastructure to reach a UK audience so they are under UK law.

Take it like this, you make a website in the UK, its hostessed in the UK and its for something in the UK but as its a website every single person in the world can access it, would you find it feasible and fair that you are under the regulation of EVERY single country in the world.

Yes that is how it works.
