  1. I'd sooner be right, than wrong.

  2. And the police are now more concerned with finding who leaked the footage of the event than they are of actually dealing with the assailants.

  3. How ironic - not wanting to be with the dictators in Russia but rather cosy up to the dictators in Brussels... Wasn't freedom and independence supposed to be their ideal?

  4.  @HarrySmith-hr2iv  and as a Brit myself of Irish descent among others I declare Charles as not my King either, despite being English also. However by what right do you have to dictate what the Northern Irish choose to belong to?

  5. We can't even support ourselves!

  6. Independence...only to then submit to Brussels. Care to explain your hopes again?

  7. When will people learn - the world has long since been bankrupt.

  8. "Independence", bankruptcy, no currency and destitution with no accessible resources and businesses. Yeah, good luck with that, Kostas.

  9.  @andia968  I don't just say this to you, but to anyone and everyone who actually believes that any country these days actually has an economy. Our pennies and pounds: what are they based on? Gold? Abolished that standard in the thirties. Silver? Not long after Gold I'm afraid. It's based on a fiscal debt - basically the money of this country like every other is backed by the debt it accredits - so how do you pay back a debt when your currency depends on it? Short answer: you DON'T. Now with that said - a country with an non-payable debt: how can it have an economy? I'll let you know that the answer has two words...

  10.  @joecarty8579  indeed; to these fear addicted advocates, a routine act of change seems like an apocalypse. But to the world; it's a Tuesday.

  11. @L S which given how bad they are is a misnomer; a population that's starving should be dropping, not increasing.

  12.  @ashwilliams4959  And that's exactly their ploy - Don't come to your own conclusions; just mindlessly accept what we say is truth. The scope in a nutshell.

  13. Nice in theory but impossible in practice
    2
  14. That kind of complacency is what's allowed this to happen again. The price of peace and freedom is diligence. And whilst i don't at all condemn the attack on the innocent, never at all; the price to pay for the lack of said diligence is the likes of this and worse.

  15. And how astonishing 1816 miraculously was "The Year Without Summer" due to the Tambora eruption the year prior.

  16. Yeah l agree - I'll be interested to see how quick they'll sell themselves out upon the realisation of bankruptcy in a country that no longer has a currency.

  17.  @briancarton1804  "Hard won independence" which was quickly surrendered to the EU... How's the Lisbon treaty going by the way?
    2
  18.  @cheeseonion5117  and to answer your question - how many times now in the last five years has the "Great Queen" Nicola come begging for a bailout from the very parliament she claims to want free of? And this while Scotland is IN the union.
    2
  19.  @SSJfraz  😂 Explain just how Scotland will be able to afford the conditions of entering that failed bloc - when it's currency will be non existent upon independence and it's debt ratio far too high from what it will be expected to inherit from leaving? And so much for "Independent Scotland" if the first thing you'd want to do is go begging to Brussels to have them take over. Oh wait, unsurprising how it's just two fingers up to the English and Sturgeon's jump for a cushy job.

  20. @Graeme Roberts try and see any country in that failed bloc make a trade arrangement outside ot without Brussels turning around to say "Em no, not unless we're included".

  21. @Graeme Roberts 😂 Delusional. 27 countries having to band together to have the thought of outperforming a union of four. 👏 Bra~vo~. Once we have an actual government that can actually do its job to have the UK self invest, the EU will slump faster then the Austrian painter did after pulling the trigger.
    2
  22. @Graeme Roberts 😂 If you say so - a currency, if even possible Scotland would have to give up and join the Euro whilst contributing.... what exactly? The debt inherited from the division? Oh I'm sure Greece and Spain would LOVE to have to cough up... delusional.

  23. @L S sounds like the whole of humanity, given chance when opportunity knocks.

  24.  @ashwilliams4959  Only a few see - the masses don't. Subversion has done it's work.

  25.  @Nick-kb6jd  well given the union was first created in the 1700s after the Lords of Scotland had essentially bankrupted the country and came knocking for a bailout..

  26. You mean the biggest con ever devised? Thanks but no thanks.

  27.  @TroyaE117  the Scottish budget which she's already blown countless times and had to go to the very parliament she spurns for a bail out.

  28. There is no "good" side in all this madness - no true altruism, merely reckless indignation by the masses and egotistical opportunism by the two sides barking orders. And they'll still somehow blame Trump for it. Hypocrites.

  29.  @Michael-wq7qx  and just how far was Putin pushing during that time? Not much seeing as Trump WOULD have done in Moscow - and Putin knew it. Now I ask you - who was it who was advancing Nato influence? Not Nato? And all those who were screaming that if Trump got the US involved in war that those who voted him in ought to sign up: are they doing the same now that Creepy Biden and Liqoured Harris have more or less done so? And during that time, wasn't Ukraine deemed the most corrupt in Europe? Almost as if people have "conveniently" let themselves forget that factor...

  30.  @mrdhillon6852  more informed in some ways but dissuaded from being so in others. In society today so many new norms are so frequently imposed with a penchant of rebuke should they be rightfully scrutinised and criticised that the very purpose of the theory gets lost very early on. Instead of a choice between two, you end up with a choice of one - eliminating the very philosophy of democracy it is sworn to defend. Proportional representation works, when society is stable, but we're far from such; we're a cluttered mess of complexity ultimately driven towards that one end result. The one and only time all sides would agree - a solution is needed and the ones providing it almost never offer it without cost. In our case, our liberties of speech, choice and so forth are sacrificed for the sake of a harmony that just never happens - lest we end up with another Austrian painter or Bolshevik upstart.

  31. You should know - it was a Scottish Queen who founded it.

  32. Rubbish - when you voted in 14 to remain you accepted the terms of a referendum, UK wide over Brexit.

  33.  @briancarton1804  and that's what you call for being "independent" is it? Hardly shows for much - not to mention how you're restricted to the whim of Brussels which seem to want to renounce all nationalities in its "bloc" and become the USE. I mean don't get me wrong - you went independent, I can respect that. As an non-imperial, the establishment got what it deserved, and I'm still against the monarchy, but with the grovelling to the EU combined with submission of your own identity, the ROI single handedly rendered it's independence meaningless.

  34.  @SSJfraz  and you think being "independant" will do better. Oh wait you want to try rejoining the fourth reich so that goes to show just how "independant and free" Scotland wants to be. Just free enough to give Sturgeon a cushy job for life to which she'll fob you all off. I don't believe in Karma, but in irony, I'm a huge fan.

  35.  @kirsteneasdale5707  and just how are you going to build means to utilise them without industry and an economy to fund them? Oh and again the oil and gas - most of which in the UK belongs to the UK and Scotland's share belongs to partly with the Shetlands who are pro UK. And let's not forget again, oil and gas is being devalued by Net Zero. So that's not quite going to help.

  36.  @cheeseonion5117  how didn't I?

  37.  @Martooo251  no the UK'S only real problem is that it's government and opposition are completely inept. That can be easily resolved. When was the last time the average individual in Spain or France voted for the bint and her lackeys in Brussels? Or even got offered the chance to? It is a failed bloc - it's just another reich in pretense of democracy.

  38.  @Joker-yw9hl  and how do they make that cash? I didn't elect any of them nor would I; why should we work ourselves to death when all they do is stuff their faces? I'm pro UK but the idea of monarchy; much like the political bloc the EU tries to acclaim to be, as well as imperialism and globalism is outdated and excessive.

  39.  @isakrynell8771  democracy and freedom don't exist in the same sentence as the EU - not unless it involves being outside of it.

  40. Nothing really Nicola didn't get her way so she's kept sulking.

  41. Honestly I hope you do; I'd give you six months to be fair, before coming back asking for help.
