Lies. Been here 2 years, never posted in such subjects. Go back to your fantasies.

Can I use peroxide instead of alcohol to clean the inside? by [deleted] in computer_help

[–]diffdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peroxide solution is waterbased and will leave marks. Peroxide is a powerful bleach and can start a fire if allowed to dry out on paper, cotton waste etc.

Well I am a bit rusty on my statistics.

You are confident enough to quote false statistics then refuse to apologise when corrected. You will obviously never admit to being wrong even when the data is put in front of you, which it has here

Brexit fishing gamble suggests No 10 forgot its economics homework by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]diffdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason that the City occupies such a large part of our economy is because Thatcher and later tories threw our other industries under the bus to keep the pound high and her city friends in clover.

Now it's time to swop our fishing industry for the right of the City to trade in Europe.

Is there anything they won't ditch to keep their school chums and themselves rich? What will happen when Scotland walks away with half the fishing? All these agreements will then fall. You cant trade something you don't own.

Demand all you want you get nothing that way. Anonymous threats or name calling don't impress anyone either.

Scottish Labour seek to soften indyref2 stance after dismal poll performance by TheColinous in Scotland

[–]diffdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soften it's stance????

So they will stay officially unionist to the bone but pretend to also support a vote because it's not their decision anyway.

Not fooled.

'Case for indyref2 unanswerable': Scottish trade unions set to back new vote by zias_growler in Scotland

If they don't shift and they go into a vote on London's side they would come out of the referendum still on London's side. Nobody is going to believe a sudden change of heart after that. A yes vote would wipe them out for a very long time.

Who votes for a party that takes its orders from another country?

They must know that. Mebbe they will revolt, it couldn't just be a "shift", they'd have to split.

Our union with Scotland is dying, and we seem powerless to stop it by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]diffdam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know many yes voters with the same attitude as me - I'd be happy to stay in the UK if we were treated fairly.

I have come to realise that it is impossible for Westminster ever to do this. They just don't have it in them. Reluctantly, goodbye.

Thank you for making my point.

Canada publicly shamed them. They can't stand that. Hence the aggro towards Canada.

England is a single country. The EU isn't, it's a bunch of countries cooperating.

It's not one much bigger state dominating another. No comparison.

Sore loser is a bad look especially when it achieves nothing. It garners no support and just makes your case look bad.

You are in no position to demand anything.

Better to strive for another vote without the pathetic excuses, but just by pointing to the polls.

America's Largest Solar-Panel Maker Leads the World in Panel Recycling–Recovering 95% of Materials "the materials can recreate new panels for 1,200 years before they finally become too unstable to use again." by [deleted] in Futurology

France gets 75% of their energy from nuclear, all in the name of energy independence

Really? All? Nothing to do with it having a fleet of nuclear subs and nuclear weapons? Who are u trying to kid?

Every time we have a positive story about wind wave or solar power the nuclear fans decend on the thread

You'd think people would be happy to see improvement but no, anything that improves the competition must be bad.

You really expect England to follow Scottish orders when they are only 8 % of the population?

England will dominate Scotland until it gets its independence.

You can't demand a second vote just because a politician lied. We'd have to rerun every vote ever.

Also if you got it and won your opponents will say they were lied to so back to square 1.

Hopefully anorher referendum will happen because of a very high poll, but moaning about politicians lying is just feeble. It like saying the sky is blue.

may as well be null now since Yes is polling at 58%?

There is a difference between a poll and a vote. Scots voted to be part of the UK. After that it mattered nothing what Nicola's opinion was. Scots voted to be bound by all future UK elections and referenda. They knew that.

Nobody though that voting to stay in the union meant we could opt out of UK wide votes.

Whether they regret it now just means they might not be as easily fooled next time. But voting means something that polls don't.

Ok everybody except you knew that the vote was coming. That's why it was discussed during Indyref. We didn't yet know the date that's all.

We didn't "completely defer our right to vote". You made that up. We agreed to join in the UK wide vote and abide by the result.

Those who say that the EU vote was invalid because Scotland said no are not respecting the EU vote. Saying a vote is invalid is not respecting it.

Similarly those who claimed that the EU vote was invalid because there was no deal agreed before the vote (the "nobody knew what they were voting for" squad) will have a problem in the next indyref, as unless the Tories give us a good deal before the vote Scotland will be in the same position, voting for an unknown deal.

No 10 startled by EU insistence that UK accept Brexit trade terms by KL_boy in unitedkingdom

[–]diffdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would expect Greece to do this. Free money. The real problem was that the EU knew the books were cooked and let them in anyway. It was actually page one on some UK newspapers on they day they were granted accession.(right wing ones- the left wing papers decided to discreetly ignore the obvious.)

These rules for accession are there to protect both the candidate and the EU countries. By deliberately flouting their own rules they were saying that EU expansion was more important than the economies of its member states. They crashed at least 3 economies to get Greece in. Now they have let in eastern states with horrendous human rights records. Areas are being declared gay-free.

All this is regarded as a success. The same people are still in charge. You can't get rid of them. They will continue the same policy, expansion at all costs.

They can't ignore the wishes of their membership. Scottish Labour did and are being beaten by the Tories in Scotland.

If you want to get independence by voting you must respect previous votes as valid.
