Pointy

Brother's in a folk band.

Tullochgorum is their party piece at New Year & other occasions.

One of the few things I have in common with my dad is the music he listened to while I was growing up.
Whenever there’s a generational gap in the conversation, we can talk about Dougie Maclean, among other things.

Aye, older people do keep telling me that.
As I get older, I think they might be onto something:

Easy for me to say Pointy.

My Da was mate.

Called him by first name.

Not disrespect - quite the opposite.

He was one of us my Ma was the Boss.

So far so good for me & my lads tho they might not agree.

They might not get what you’re doing, but after a while and when they need it most and realise the knowledge is in them, they’re all like ‘Aaaah...’

No. It really doesn't.

if the had rigged the vote after the event then your point is valid. But it wasn't. Folks knew perfectly well the situation in which they voted. They went for it under the rules, and lost.

Vey different to winning under those rules then being denied. Same as today.

Parliamentary majority was never supposed to happen. Then it did - and hey we got a referendum. from the tories!

Those are the rules we paly by - its only if they are broken that trouble can flare.

It'ss a subtle but vital distinction.

As to McCrone, that was suppressed for years. and when enough folks knew about it there was a surge - to the Ballot box.

So we're back to playing by the rules.

You man not like the rules - but whilst you play by them you still play the game. If someone breaks the rules and makes the game invalid you paly a different game.

Were still playing the game by t well-understood rules - invalidating a clear mandate for Indyref II will break the rules - so a different game will take it's place.

That's never happened before - and the examples you cite aren't examples of that at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We're not going to agree on this. I just think historically the majority of people in Scotland have been subservient and simply wouldn't vote for independence under any circumstances.
A lot of people who support independence don't understand the unionist mindset - to them Scotland isn't a country. Scotland is but a region of the UK and to talk about breaking it up is as fanciful as independence for Angus.

Scotland didn't vote for the Tories? Doesn't matter, the UK did. Scotland didn't vote for Brexit? Doesn't matter, the UK did.
Absolutely nothing has changed since the 2014 vote and I don't see why pro-independence people don't understand this. People who voted to keep the power in the UK rather than Scotland aren't suddenly going to change their mind now that the UK is using its power and not Scotland. This is exactly the situation they voted for - why would they complain?

<Good da’ing is like Mr Miyagi.>

Haha.

All I know is by the time I was 5 the worst thing in the world would have

been to register his disapproval. This was never done in words, but with

a pause, or a look. Being hit was never on the agenda.

20 years after he was Away I still had troubled dreams that I'd let him

down somehow. He threw an amiable thicko out our house in 1959 cos

he'd used the word D*rkie to describe a black person.

We had no idea at the time what had happened as 25 years later the

word was still being used in ITV so called Sitcoms.

<We've only got 2 and a hauf Tories on the entire Scottish pages.

They sure as fvk make a noise tho.
---------------------------------------------
You... TBAB.. Who's the hauf? >>



Just saw this

The Tories have a majority of 2 in a House of 650.

Bbab is DUP.

You know.

The Mob of Ten who tell the Tories what to do.

Silver

Ive always been a big supporter of unions but has to be said some umion leaders achieve more for their members than others.

Bill Jordan's quieter way achieved more for engineering workers than Scargill ever did for miners with all his bluster.

Oh for the days of Jack Jones, Hughie Scanlon and Joe Gormley. Proper guys with only the genuine interests of their members at heart.

<Its OK, the government gave in and bankrupted the country. Sound familiar?>

Every economic disaster in Modern Western History has been caused by

greedy, egotistical, crooked, 'Get Me Rich Now And Only Me' corrupt

law breaking capitalists.

From the 18th, 19th, & 20th c, 2007- present.

As well as of course Rangers 2012.


Abit the Unions eh?

Wanting enough to feed their weans, safety in the pits and mills n'at.

<Quite remarkable that the Western country that suffered the biggest sacrifice and hardships 75 years>

Think the Russians, French, Dutch, Belgians, Poles, Albanians, Czechs.

Hungarians, Greeks, Finns, Norwegians, Swedes, Yugoslavs, etc might

take issue with that.

Brexit cultists want us to go back to ration books and Victorian diseases.

The longer this farce goes on I'm beginning to think this is getting like a

DC Thompson War Comic Nightmare in reverse.

It used to be 'Take that you Krraut / Nip!'

The family names of the ones who are now calling Johnny Foreigner out.

Trump [ German with Slovenian Trophy Wife ], Farage [ French with

German wife ], Gove [ French with a Harpie wife from Jason & the

Argonauts ], Johnson [ Viking ravager & Slapper ] see what I did there?

Automatic.

I agree with you any time we've gone off-fitba on here.

You should know tho that Silver is a good guy and great company

as well as his partner in grime Ginger.

Honest.

Just a different viewpoint.


babb should be deported however.

Isn't that the point of Northern Ireland?

<Brexit cultists want us to go back to ration books and Victorian diseases.>

Yup!

A plentiful supply of cheap and easily sackable low paid workers.

It's what put the 'Great' into Britain dontcha know.

Enabled 'us' to go and subjugate even poorer societies.

You can see who's going for it & why.

ie No Deal Brexit.
