It's worse than that I was using you as a proxy for all those who need their sanity checking !!!!!! -
Shocking Westminster Vote.....
UPROAR replied to Haggis_trap's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
man, if you're trying to say that the Better Together campaign with the clear mandate and authority of the Prime Minister did not frequently and deliberately offer/suggest/propose/imply/infer and in every other way possible tell us we would have federalism / devolution / home rule then........ you need to evaluate your concept of reality. Did they say it in a way that would legally bind them? no - but every fecker on the planet knows what they said and what it meant and they are now playing games to say they didn't. https://vine.co/v/eep3UdYJQr9 there will be much more serious political consequences...... -
Shocking Westminster Vote.....

I'm a bit tired of 'the vow' - the vow was only a BBC/Labour PR stunt to focus on what Darling, Cameron and (to a lesser extent) Brown had been saying all along.... 'all the possibilities of devolution'.... 'nothing short of a modern form of federalism'..... they offered full autonomy in the UK and I want it. -

I've not been to that many bundesliga stadiums but the ones I have been to have a little frame for each person and each has a flip down seat - what you're describing sounds like old fashioned terracing.... who's got that ? -

this is the Tories driving nails into the Labour coffin in Scotland. They know Brown made the vow and he will be blamed for breaking it. -

David Starkey.....again
UPROAR replied to Toepoke's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
I dont get this in a bigger sense... Starkey is unhinged, but he's a trouble maker, he's found that insulting Scotland is good for his PR...... (on a point of correctness he implied the Bavarian's are Nazis and that the national dress of Germany is Lederhosen.... neither of these things are remotely true). However there are a seemingly endless line of unionist politicians, bloggers, journos and other major and minor actors in the political sphere who seem incapable of any reason or judgement when it comes to the SNP. All they seem to be able to do is hurl insults, abuse and shout 'Nazi' - what is wrong with them, it makes them look like looneys - Ian Smart and Starkey are not alone, there is an army of them online and even Nick Robinson recently tried implying there is something racist about wanting to run your own economy. Its clearly a mental thing to say, what is wrong with them ? I just dont get it - doesnt it just damage their case and make them look desperate ? Do they really believe it ? -
Full Fiscal Autonomy
UPROAR replied to Rossy's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
there are many lies at the heart of this discussion... We all agree we can't go on increasing our debt, it must be reduced. However we have a debt whether we make our own decisions or not - deal with it. We dont get 'let off' our share of the debt as part of the UK and it doesn't magically get any bigger or smaller if you let Scotland manage its economy. There is no significantly greater or smaller black hole regardless of who makes decisions. There are however reasons why we must make these decisions in Scotland 1. we will make better decisions for our own economy rather than live with the byproducts of decisions largely for the city & south east 2. austerity is a failed economic policy and we can only grow our way out of debt. Growth requires investment. Investment requires us to run a deficit for long enough to make that investment. 3. our GDP per person is no better or worse than the UK if you exclude oil - oil will become expensive again and will be a major asset. The oil & gas industry said yesterday there are 26Bn barrels left and 43Bn extracted from known sites. The oil industry is on the verge of a £40Bn decommissioning boom as old wells run to the end of their life. 4. relocating the 10% (crude approx) of jobs from London to run our own economy will provide a major boost to our economy. The loss of those jobs is one of Londons major reasons for screaming about how poor we are 5. Its all p!sh - just ignore them. the BBC is not running uninteresting OBR forecasts about oil (which they have got wrong 100% of the time) immediately after stories about FFA by accident...... -

Full Fiscal Autonomy
UPROAR replied to Rossy's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
I think much is underestimated by particularly the professional middle classes in Scotland about what FFA would mean in practice... right now all the thousands of jobs to support tax collection, civil service, infra-structure, government departments etc are in London. They would be in Scotland. It would have a massive positive impact on our economy not only because of the transfer of jobs themselves but the people who cut their hair, sell them lattes etc.... -

fantastic.... Killie are nearly there. We took loads of money from Celtic last few years to replace vandalised seats but we kept the money and replaced the seats with seats from the Moffat. If they smash a few hundred more they will pretty much leave the Moffat standing anyway -

I think by the time the election comes round it might get worse... I think there is a real chance the new SLP will take a fair few percentage off Labours list vote.... -
you sure ? Im sure I read somewhere he was a 'Blairite'... I dont know much about the labour party but that would put him along there with Murph - not a credible position any more. Kez doesnt have the gravitas and she doesnt have the depth Nicola has.. I still think anyone not advocating Scottish policies independently of London is doomed to an electoral groundhog day.....

what about Jimi Hundrix ???? or Hunderworld (Born Proddy)... or the Hundertones ?? -
without doubt worst keeper Ive seen at Killie in 25 years.... thought my son was winding me up when he told me. Even by his own poor standards his end of season form has been tragic. Cammy Bell is a much better option....... actually my 12 year old daughter would be a better option

a) this will all go off decently, respectfully and peacefully it will all kick off in a pit of sleazy anti-catholic sentiment, alcohol and violence for which we can hold the council officials responsible for encouraging this........ -
