exile Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I think the clearest thing this week is what Dominic Cummings was saying. The only way the strife will be resolved will be when Brexit happens. It is clear that Cummings is politically ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. The Govt acts unlawfully and no one resigns. They bask in the notoriety. PM says he disagrees with the law. Cummings says it is a walk in the park. As MPs argue over the memory of their fallen comrade, and amidst live and present death threats, the PM says humbug, leader of the house smirks, and Dominic Cummings openly says he is enjoying himself. These guys - who were behind a legally dubious Leave campaign - are not going to let legal obstacles get in the way of Brexit. They simply turn 'the people' against the law lords. It just seems that the more the opposition try to put obstacles in the way of Brexit, the more the agony will be drawn out, Cummings would be happy for another 3 years tearing apart parliamentary democracy and the law, and dragging British public life into the gutter and the nation a scorched earth as long as he wins. And the remain side - businesses and ordinary voters - have proportionately more to lose. So in some ways I think the best thing for the British/unionist remainers to do is to get a form of Brexit over with as quickly as possible, and wipe the 2016 slate clean, and then start the fightback. As for pro indy remainers, it is a bit more complicated..... In a way the best thing could be if the Govt forces through a bad Brexit using some dodgy loophole, so it's clear the SNP did everything they legally could to block it. And if /when Brexit happens, well dragging Scotland out against the majority vote triggers the mandate for indy. Then maybe they need to hire a single minded political operator who knows how to win referenda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's certainly mad in the sense of "mutually assured destruction", if literally NOTHING will stop them. Even if it means trashing the country, or changing the law to allow a jailbird to be PM, with Parliament sitting in HMP Wormwood Scrubs, cheered on by angry mobs calling each other fascists.

Caledonian Craig Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I don't see the Benn Bill being as watertight as some may think. Rumours abound today that Johnson has been contacting each Euro member country's leader asking them to veto an extension on the 31st of October. I honestly cannot see him abiding by the Bill and asking for an extension. What the poor eejits who are egging him on for a No Deal don't get is that it is those like them that will suffer financially and in other ways. The likes of BJ and his Tory cronies do not give a jot as they have more feathers in their nest than you'd find in an aviary plus they have fingers in financial plans that will see them benefit from a No Deal.

exile Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 A whole feature on the BBC 'Nine' on the Irish Border issue, with correspondents in London and Ireland, like reporting distant diplomatic news in faraway lands, and not a single word about implications for Scotland - the possibility of how a NI backstop would make asymmetry in the UK, give NI a competitive advantage in EU, how it would break the 'blood red lines' that the Scots Tories promised should never be broken. Also on a day of Jackson Carlaw's humiliating u-turn, surrendering (sorry) Scots Tories to the hard Brexiteers and agreeing with their masters that a no deal Brexit is OK after all.. Not a peep about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 In fact this is not even about party politics. Scotland seems entirely absent from the debate over the future of the UK that is currently playing between London, Dublin and Belfast, and Brussels. We are like bystanders watching borders being carved up or repositioned, affecting the constitutional future of the UK, and there seem to be no Scottish interests or voices involved.

Time we also exploded this myth about the "invincible" highland regiments of the British Army. They were nothing special and frequently the first to run or surrender. Why do we even want to hold onto that kind of shite anyway ? Bin it. What kind of sick, twisted cunt is actually proud that Scots once helped to brutally oppress people in Africa and Asia that never did us any harm ?

Weather has generally been crap but the beer and company has been overall good. I am glad I came. I have felt pretty safe and based on experience so far I would definitely come back. Prices about same or cheaper depending on where you eat and drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
