Starmer's vision quest

Calling @First Aspect to the thread. I'm not that fussed as the SNP are now an electoral irrelevance, but FA enjoyed being an expat in Scotland.

Scroll back a bit - he's been all over it like a rash!

Your terminology may be give some insight into the things he really didn't seem to like about Scotland, or Scots - despite being born & brought up in England, I'd never describe myself as an 'expat'.

I've.writtem about 10000 words on the subject today.

In other news, Peter Murrell, ex hubbie of Turgid and the guy who ran the SNP finances and allegedly embezzled a whole truck load today has been granted legal aid.

Neither would I. It's a joke. Welcome to the internet.

Can't he sell that motor home to fund his defence?

I know, but it's always good to hear it again.

Flat battery and perished tyres I'd have thought. I think his assets have been frozen, is the answer. He's certainly not able to sell his house.

It will all fall back on her trying to find another £5bn, when there isn't a solution that doesn't involve either pïssing off the electorate, business or the financial markets

Their downfall started before they were even elected with their stupid promise not to increase any of the major taxes while promising a lot. Looking more and more like a rookie leftie mistake.

For crying out loud, a woman crying shouldn't crash the markets

But it was a proper blub.

They should have promised to do more with lower taxes, whilst making unfunded cuts on their way out the door.

Probably revenge for Labours scorched earth tax policy back in 2010, which was done out of pure leftie spite.

Oh. I see. Good to have these things pointed out. Lowbrow Medway Fickos like me expect jokes to be funny.

That's you that is.

Take Ireland for example: similar population, open borders with the UK, doing ok financially.

That took about 7 decades though. When I first went to Ireland in 1986 it was like going back in time 20 years crossing the border. I absolutely loved it there and still do but it only really started to thrive as a modern economy in the 90s (and probably with a lot of EU assistance).

I think that was one of FA’s points, that being Ireland etc. isn’t necessarily going to happen overnight and that the SNP perhaps aren’t giving an honest assessment of the processes and challenges that going independent will entail. From a distance they seem to be arguing that if Scotland becomes independent everything will stay the same unless they want things to change and they’ll have the power to do that out of Westminster’s clutched which seems very simplistic.

Starmer being absolutely ripped to shreds in the comments

No one defends him or his actions

I've been saying it for over 9 years now. Indy and Brexit are the same arguments and will have the same outcomes.
If you believe in one then the same principles apply to the other. Blind faith and optimism is not enough. Or will be severely tested at least.

(At the time I couldn't believe some people arguing for Brexit then arguing against the same points when made for Indy.)
