1957 ? I think you might find it was sometime in the 60s we gave our last imperial interests their independence

Yousaf says he will remove the King as monarch. Perhaps he favours an Islamic Republic? McYousaf is toast, other than firefighting he's doing nothing. Wee Jimmy and her old man have fucked up the SNP for years to come. |

Maybe it's time to recognise that before the end of the British Empire these mass killings were prevented. |

Scots independence is unlikely to happen unless a major power helps them, I think this is why Sturgeon cashed in her chips nothing to do with her husband. It might be the EU that does this or someone else.

It might be the EU that does this or someone else. It is not going to happen, Labour are going to take us back under Brussels control, the Scots will be over the moon because that is what they believe makes them important, the Conservatives will say those terrible people in Labour have gone against the wishes of the people while sneering in the background. Because they will also get what they have always wanted, while waving their hands around saying what can we do its democracy. The yanks will be over the moon and everyone will be happy. In alternative reality of course. |

Wee Jimmy and her old man have fucked up the SNP for years to come. I had to chuckle about Sunak's little dig at Sturgeon in his address to the Tory Conference today Sunak said: “Nicola Sturgeon wanted to go down in the history books as the woman who broke up our country, but it now looks like she may go down for very different reasons.  |

I am one of the many thousands who left the SNP some years ago. The reason: the party had forsaken the cause of Independence and looked as though it was willing to settle for more powers devolved to Holyrood. The fact is that the massive drop in support was down to Independistas staying at home because of the lack of progress. It seems that the party had to bus people in, paying them for canvassing and leaflet drops. That situation had never happened before. As for Thrasher's claim that the SNP had never lost a Westminster by election before: From Winnie to Margo (1973) 5 defeats From Margo to Jim (1988) 4 defeats From Jim to Roseanna (1995) 5 defeats From Roseanna to John (2008) 6 defeats From John to Anum (2021) 1 defeat Also, he seems to be inferring that Labour needs to win Scottish seats to win the GE. Blair had 3 election victories and in each he had an English majority. What I wonder about are those Independistas who backed Labour. Surely they know that Labour is a Unionist Party which will not grant a referendum> The devolution route has failed dismally. The party must get back to its roots and seek to regain the trust of those who will, no doubt, stay at home next year if nothing is done to alter things. |

Scottish independence will never happen. 55% of Scots don't want it. FACT. 9 years ago. Things have moved on. We have been dragged out of the EU against our will. We have had to suffer Tory rule for 13 years. |
