Equal.. but separate. Hmmm

I think you need to learn the definition of hypocrisy. Saying that Scotland is a parasite to the UK does not mean I hate the Scottish. Learn to distinguish between a critique and discrimination.

You do hate the English. You have just said the UK does not have a "progressive, tolerant and equal society" which is why you voted to leave.
Don't try to pull wool over my eyes.

Scotland is left wing, because as all left wing people, they like to claim other peoples money and property. Hence the term "parasite".


"they"

Not all Scottish people are left wing.

Why don't you visit Edinburgh, and you will see how supposedly "left wing" we are.

What that they live off the English taxpayer? They take more than they give. The English have to spend money and invest in Scotland, as well as pay for a proportion of their benefits since they can't pay it for themselves. Their entire economy relies on the oil fields.

They are nationalist and socialist, but nobody has the balls to call them nationalist socialists.


England takes more than it gives.

For two years in the last 30 the WEngland has had a lower deficit than Scotland.

For 28 of the last 30 years England has been in a better economic position due to Scotland.

Are the SNP civic nationalists? Are they pretty much socialists?

Civic nationalists yes, more socialist than our 3 main parties, certainly. But I'll ask again, were you deliberately comparing them to the Nazis?
[QUOTE="SausageMan;54900933"]Fair point. There's the statics, for those interested.
45.4%
31.7%


Right. 54.6% of the Scots voted for a party other than the SNP.

I expect many of those people will tactically vote Labour in May to show up the SNP for their arrogance and presumptuousness

What proportion do and how does it compare with elsewhere?


According to the treasury if Scotland became independent 13% more tax would be needed to maintain independent Scotland public services. This suggests that the English are already subsidising Scottish public services.

I wasn't. I was calling the nationalist socialists. Which they are.

Perhaps the Scottish should be a little open minded and see the benefits of the Tories. Maybe Scottish people should work for themselves, rather than trying to claim other peoples money which is basically the point of the SNP/ Labour.


"Scottish people should work for themselves"

The majority of Scottish people do work for themselves.

Absolute nonsense. The English subsidise Scottish public services because the Scots are too lazy to pay for it themselves and take our money. More to the point, our economic productivity is higher and England makes more and exports more than Scotland.

Don't lie.

Well that's a relief. "National socialists" very often refers to the nazi party though, which I'm almost certain you were very much aware of when you said it. Socialists, who happen to be nationalists, might be a better way to put it :tongue:

That is utter nonsense. The Scottish do not hate the English, of course there are some Scottish people who hate English people, but there are also some English people that hate Scottish people. In addition, your crap about Scotland being "a backwards nation" is drivel. Everything you have ranted about is nonsense.


Anybody who votes SNP does so because they hate the English. There is no getting round it.


Scotland would be a 3rd rate nation if it wasn't for the union. It would be poor with little to it other than fishing and oil, which eventually would dry out.

Don't be deliberately stupid.


I'll concede that answering your posts is hardly the greatest use of my intellect, but the juxtaposition just makes said intellect look positively :sexface: in comparison.

Nationalist Socialists. Lets not use long winded terms out of your fear of being a Nazi.

Yes, they did last year. (and England needs 6% more tax to maintain public services)

Bit of an anomoly over the last 30 years, 28 of thenm have had Scotland with a lower deficit.

I have much better things to do than go to a place where I would be discriminated against because I am English. Thank you, but no thanks.

I would not vote for SNP, but your reasoning is still completely illogical.

How did you come to the absurd conclusion that "anybody who votes SNP does so because they hate the English"?

So I'm voting SNP because I hate English people? So I do it because I hate myself...? :s-smilie:

And whisky and tourism. And England would have a worse current account deficit because of it.

Well if the Scottish feel that they are better off out the union, they should leave. They decided not. However, I cannot accept that they don't want to be independent, but want devolution and are willing to scrounge off the English when it suites them. They either contribute, or they leave.

Possibly. Anybody who votes Green basically hates themselves, so it wouldn't be the first time.

Hahahe, okay you are going to base your entire export economy on whisky and fish, and using oil for your energy and maybe letting the odd tourist visit Edinburgh castle. Yes, I can see Scotland being a very successful country.

You literally just said they're not Nazis. Mate, you're the Powell supporter who's reoeatedly judged people based on where they're from this thread, don't call me a nazi. So you're happy deliberately linking SNP to the nazis when in reality they couldn't be more different? Does than not seem a little intellectually dishonest to you?
