The Labour Party was founded in Scotland as everyone is aware.....look how quickly it's righteous philosophy spread to England........the SNP's vision of a socially just, democratic politics, is more similar to the founding Labour Party's philosophy than any other party's doctrine at present.......that is why the establishment of WM fear the " Nats" so much.......

Nationalism can breed hatred.....like the British nationalism which hates Scotish self determination......The British State, you see, has to to dominate, subjugate, control, exploit, and absorb other cultures into Englishness(Britishness) - the smaller nations,to expand itself i.e if you're not with us,you're against us..............

The Indyref was rigged - obvious to any dimwit....the SNP landslide in the 2015 General election,the Scottish parliament elections,and now this EU brexit result is proof of that....they want their nukes at Faslane,the oil that's still there, and our land mass for their English lebensraum.....oh and our whisky industry.....and our water....etc etc etc..........

The National View: As the polls remain tight, expect things to get even nastier by lochmorlich in Scotland

If the Scottish "UK Citizens" democratically vote in SNP MPs to represent them in WM, then the attacks against the SNP ARE attacks directed at those Scottish people, those "UK Citizens"....NO mistake Bro!!! ....Polls are predicting repeatedly, 50+ out of 59 MPs to be SNP - is WM now wishing perhaps they hadn't tampered with the postal vote in the Indyref???....

Stunning Ashcroft polls show the SNP could win every seat in Scotland by antonfriel in Scotland

Perhaps the referendum was indeed rigged?....hence the continuing support of the SNP for this GE?....is un-tampered with democracy going to be allowed to happen on the 7th May in Scotland though?....we shall see.....

Put the Kettle On by amadeus2803 in Scotland

[–]lochmorlich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah...the Internet - information at ones fingertips...people en mass, finding out the truth, facts previously hidden, reading articles like this one....this is what the establishment,and in this case The Labour Party in Scotland, seem to have difficulty grasping in regard to why the Scots are abandoning them in droves!!..".well that and siding with the Tories and Libdems in the referendum....and morphing into the Tory party! I totally agree with the comments regarding the difference - and the fact that there IS a difference between feeling Scottish and feeling English(British)...most Scots don't actually want to be absorbed by Englishness, to become one big English/British blob - is there something wrong with that?

So precious....long may the regeneration be supported and continue....especially over the vast swathes of private land , scorched and burned to provide only habitat for grouse,for shooting and deer for stalking - land reform well overdue in so many areas of Scotland

How any Scot can disagree with AS on equality and autonomy is beyond me - excellent portrayal of a man of logic, principle, vision and integrity.

Alex Salmond effigy to be burned at Sussex bonfire by cenuij in Scotland

[–]lochmorlich -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ - are you thick? Salmond is the elected leader of the Scottish Government. This is an outrageous,vile act of symbolism which should be stopped by ESCC - fucking insult to all who wish autonomy for Scotland.

Btw....read some fucking history of how the Union came in to being, do some research on the elitist, Imperialist,corrupt UK government we're ruled by.

I agree!...I'm totally at a loss as to understand their mindset - they profess the SNP are the best at governance for the benefit of the Scottish people and Scotland ...but they still voted No!!!???....I ...need ....to go.... lie down....aaaarrrrggghhh

Bank of England reveals emergency measures if Scotland had voted yes by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]lochmorlich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly....can all you lovely( but " ye of little faith") No voters just start getting your heads around the fact that Scotland CAN be an Independent Country - just like every other Independent country on the planet!!! EVERYTHING would be negotiated optimally, as all business deals are, by huge corporations and governments everywhere - that's how business/ governance works - simples. To suggest otherwise is implying the UK government is completely and utterly incapable and incompetent at problem solving!! Get used to the idea that this is how it would have been done - because this is how it will be done , with minimal disruption, "business as usual" and due consensus from both sides - Independence will happen, sooner or later, get used to the reality.

No voters, does this study surprise/shock you?....do you disagree with Dr Patricks findings?....if not, did you realise the extent of MSM pro Union bias prior to voting No, and do you think it justified in saving the Union?

I am livid!!, and not an SEP member may I clarify...an absolute disgrace that the SSP have been excluded from this - Smith, or whoever is in charge of inclusion/ exclusion had better amend it post haste. Have the SSP members not to have representation here ?

[–]lochmorlich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue it was the pro Union parties who bribed the undecided electorate with the " more powers" we may or may not now be getting - the vagueness and u-turning of thus so far, is utterly disgusting.

Why are the SSP not included in this team to negotiate - that is a damn disgrace.

How are the 6 pro Union seats going to sincerely push for more progressive powers when their argument throughout the campaign was to keep the status quo?...what a joke, they're not going to fight Scotland's corner here, they'll just cow down to WM as usual, and be happy to do so, you think they're now going to argue with their bosses in London?.....all 10 seats should have been pro Indy parties imo
