I was up there last weekend and I did give one good argument against Scottish independance no snp voter could deny.
If Scotland goes independant, then the only effective opposition party would leave Westminster, and Scotland would be flooded with English refugees within a month haha.

I've resigned my self to brexit happening at some point. My focus is shifting on begging the eu to rejoin whilst collecting tined meat to start a black market when rationing comes in.
To the thread:
You brexit bitches and complicit corbynistas won't be talking so much shit when you need me for the good stuff for the next Christmas's meal!
They should build a wall and get the Romans to pay for it.
But seriously, watching Westminister debates on Brexit the past 18 months have shown to me, a foreigner who really has no dog in this, the enormous disrespect that the Tories, and even Labour, regards the SNP... and Scotland as a whole. They language, sarcasm and tones they use... it's clear as can be, they all regard Scotland and the Scottish people as property. A thing they own. It's just more English imperialism. It never went away. It just shrunk.
Scotland's economic case for independence is highly dubious (though much stronger post-Brexit). It's case on the basis of their own dignity and rights is far, far, far stronger.
Part of me hopes for an indecisive outcome so Brexit dies a slow death. But part of me hopes for a decisive outcome for the Tory's, just so we see Scottish independence and an final end to the United Kingdom in the next 20 years. They made their bed. They get to lie in it.
As of the most recent polling it's basically 50\50 on the eve of the election. The irony would be truly off the scale to watch the SNP repeat the farce of Westminster by trying to force through a referendum without a clear majority on Scotland's most divisive issue.
But sure let's keep repeating these shitty mistakes.
BBC are biased to the Tories folk... have you seen this:

I lol'd.
Freudian slip or genuine bias?
You folks do you. I'm just saying, if I were a Scot and Englishmen ever talked about the SNP, Scotland and Scots the way the Tories did and Labour sometimes does, I'd start rioting. It's worse than political differences. It's dehumanizing disrespect and sheer disregard for the rights and dignity of Scotland / Scots.
Really, Ian Blackford would have been entirely order to tell Boris, May and Corbyn to go fuck themselves, in those words, on many occasions.
It goes deeper than that, there's a systemic problem with the UK, and it's kit just how England treats the rest of the UK as porpert but how the South treats every where as property. With Wales and Scotland its easy to see as they hae national assembly's and voices now but if you head to the abandoned mining towns and villages in the North, places like Accrington, like blackpool you see that losing the battle of Stamford Bridge and being consumed by England really was the worst thing we ever did. For century's the people of the North of Scotland and Wales and Ireland have been used as cannon fodder in wars, forced into squalid ghettos and used to mine and Mill and smelt for an empire we never saw a penny's profit from, and empire that lined the pockets of Lords. And when we Finaly got the vote in 1918 and we put in Labour we were betrayed time and again by them, nothings ever gotten better for us and that's why the SNP exhist, it's why plyd exhist, it's why there is local party's now in the north calling for our own devolution, Yorkshire has more people than Scotland and could easily it's self leave.
I don't feel English. I hate the term. I don't feel British I hate the term. I'm a European and I'm lancastrian there the only Labels that have looked after me. Free Yr Hen Ogledd!
His issue is the correlation of them being in power during massive global economic crises, in spite of their policies having absolutely fuck all to do with them. This supposed poor economic management is why he prefer Tory economic policy that hangs on to entirely discredited ideals of trickle down, laffer curves, and austerity to shrink the state. In spite of those being disproven, and responsible for their own domestic economic crises and exacerbation of global problems.
Really.... You actually belive he's a Marxist. Like honestly? And your evidence is he scares billionaires? Fucking public transport scares billionaires.
And what do they care any way, there rich enough to leave, its us fucks who have to shoot our way out of "communist eutopias"
Any way, side from that I'm not a boomer im a Liberal mellenial snowflake thanks. I like hugging immigrants, shouting profanitys at trump, fighting climate change and we own the left corbyns little revival of the intolerant left is comming to an end.
Those old school leftys who hate immigrants "because it depresses wages" and occasionally say Jew's instead of isreal by "mistake" can happily pack up there shit, gather it together and get the fuck out.
My issue is us putting labour in power and them never actualy doing anything to help the north. You do realise the reason the SNP control Scotland is because Scotland abandoned Labour for... That.... Exact.... Reason.

Please. Reported for what. Pointing out how they only way to get out of a communist country once they take control is violence, because they suspend democracy.
Maybe im not the snowflake here.
