You used a phrase recently i recalled from when Jim was posting on the Tamb - "creating nationalists". I've always remembered it as i like the imagery Welcome back I think it would be fair to say he has had some influence on my politics but we certainly don't agree on everything.

The Ballot Box Scotland Twitter account has published the list results for Glasgow Southside - the Greens got 18% of the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 24 minutes ago, Hertsscot said: sadly the worst racism I've personally witnessed was by Scots rugby fans directed at the Underwoods. My experience is that England is far less racist than it when I was growing up but there's a nasty seam of right wing extremism the has never gone away, sometimes it wraps itself in Union flag other times the flag of St George. Then there 's a more respectable Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism which sees the UK as better than everyone else, they tend to wrap themselves in a UnionFlag but really they believe the Celts need England to help them out as they're not up to the job. I'd agree with that completely. I'd add that in my experience that Scots, Northern Irish and Welsh people have a much clearer view of the Union - whether or not they support it or not - than the English who tend to see the UK and England as pretty much interchangeable.

A lot of the Alba people seem to need help. I mind a couple of years ago that fud was talking about how the Yes movement should adopt civil disobedience tactics; occupying government buildings and the like. This was even before Boris Johnson became PM and adopted his hardline stance against another indyref. Like a lot of these "radical" bloggers he doesn't actually live in Scotland, meaning stupid stunts like that would have zero direct impact on him.

SNP previously got 3 list seats in Highlands with the same number of constituencies. If both votes SNP actually happened they would have got at least 2 possibly 3. But too many gave 2nd vote elsewhere last time so they lost seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
