Caledonian Craig Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 36 minutes ago, Regenmann said: I work for a large financial services company - the vast majority of our customers are based in England - our office in Glasgow would have closed (for a variety of reasons, but regulatory divergence being the main one). By that do you mean you work in a bank and these threatened to pull out of Scotland had independence been voted for? If so I cannot see how that can be equated to being the SNP's fault.

So you were told 100% your office would close? or might close.... or are you speculating.. I presume it would be the latter, but you will need to give more information...

Ally Bongo Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Does the National have a circulation in Hampden Loon's fishing constituency ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Im sure a couple of weeks ago a small poll showing a big Tory vote increase made headlines This wont James Kelly @JamesKelly For what it's worth, the tiny Scottish subsample from Survation's telephone poll gives the SNP 53% and the Tories 22%. #ge2017 http://survation.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Final-GMB-GE2017-Poll-I-050517TOCH-1c0d0h5.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye iv seen a few local snp supporters posting this on their pages, it just seems to be fingers in ears though. Although it would kill me, maybe the only way for the fishermen to see that the tories are not interested in them is for B&B to go blue..The though about makes me sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you work for Nationwide? I was told the same by my bosses when I worked there in September 2014, I voted for Independence.

I should clarify, my only reason for leaving wasn't because they threatened my job. I got a better offer elsewhere. There is a prominent employer in the north east who did threaten his staff if they voted no. Hampden Loon will know who this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNTINGMcGREGOR Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Can I ask a simple unloaded question if it's okay ? Maybe this is a new thread, but after reading everything here, thought apt to ask these questions. What have SNP achieved in Govt? In bullet points. facts ? And since IndieRef. What was promised. By each an every party - facts? And what transpired to be lies ? In other words, if you needed a concise, accurate, and unbiased summary - without all the politics, and had to tell you 73 year old Dad why, as he is confused with local elections, Scottish elections, and General Elections - Can't vote for Tory, Can't vote for Labour as he knows they are fecked, but can't vote for SNP as he's worried about going Independant, but doesn't want to leave the Euro (But doesn't know why, other than he thinks that means he can't go to Spain if he wants a holiday) He's not stupid by a long shot but as I suspect, a typical voter who reacts to TV and Media Bias, but because (and I know, but) 1. Asdas, B&Q and all the banks are leaving to go to England 2. They are threatening I will lose my pension 3. We cannae use the pound, so he thought his modest savings would be worthless 4. He can't go on holiday to Europe anymore 5. He doesn't trust Theresa Mayhem, but cannae vote for Independance, and disnae like Corbon or that Digdale lassie. Hard task huh ? 6. Vote GREEN then Dad. Whit?, are they no a Vegetarians ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
