#getwrecked, Labour

You mean Kilmarnock.

Seems that Kilmarnock has forgotten about the Johnnie Walker incident...

[Die Volkstaat]

Tim Farron seems realistic, at least. Oh, nvm, he seems naively optimistic.

[Alyakia]

Okay, you keep saying "you" as if I'm representative of some party. You didn't answer my last post. You're confusing me.

I have a thing against nationalists to a fault

you are a nationalist, prove me wrong

Sturgeon: It is possible to lock the Tories out of government. Exit polls are incorrect.

I hope she's right. A Tory minority requiring just 10 extra votes is terrifying.

[Dejanic]

Kilmanarock, Scottish seat

SNP: 30,000 votes. Jesus
Labour: 16,362 votes.

#getwrecked, Labour

Yeah, I'm sure you will have many seats as well.

I don't think the renewed British National Front are likely to make any gains.

[Steamtopia]

Mark Ferguson: If UKIP take Hartlepool, I will be speechless.

I have nothing against non-nationalists, I don't judge people by their political ideology, but by their kindness, humility, and friendliness.

[Steamtopia]

Yeah. I should mention that I regret my grudge against you.

the SNP hard nationalists will think this a great result. Hard nationalism being independence at any cost. Fits their narrative about "English Tories".

Sets neighbour against neighbour. And lets multi-national companies, and very wealthy individuals, get away with more tax-avoidance.

Except, most Scots have more in common with most English, than they do with other Scots.

E.g.
Allan, factory worker, lives in Glasgow. plays football, drinks beer, speaks English.
Bob, fisherman, lives in Ullapool. plays shinty, drinks whisky, speaks English and Gaelic.
Charlie, factory worker, lives in Liverpool, plays football, drinks beer, speaks English.

Who does Allan have more in common with ?


There are at least 4 different cultures in Scotland, but this is not recognised by many Scottish politicians.
Central lowlands - football, Scots language
North East - football, Doric language
Highlands - shinty, gaelic language
Borders - rugby

Nationalism teaches people to look at other people and think themselves different, instead of looking at other people and seeing what we have in common.

[Oceanic Vakiadia]

Pardon my ignorance, but what does SNP doing so well mean for their plans? Another referendum in the future?

[Steamtopia]

Socialist Labour Party is now on the table with 400 votes.

[Planita]

I hate FOX

that it?

Republican immigration policy kills me.

[Die Volkstaat]

Tim Farron seems embarrassed, poor chap. I respect him, we're different, but I respect him.
