Question Time

[Vic]

Gosh - loads of plants complaining about Sturgeon detesting the Tories.

 

[peter.evans]

Bruce spending longer on the comment Sturgeon made than on the independence debate ! Yet no mention of Truss's comments about Sturgeon talks nonsense and should be ignored !

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

There should be mandatory subtitles.

I watched it tonight.
From outside looking in? It’s hard to know what’s going on.
I definitely got the feeling the questions and the plants in the audience were less than subtle.

Watching BBC it’s hard to know what the real feeling in Scotland is.

Nah. The question at that point was who is undecided about Scottish independence, and three people aired their views.

Funny old thing, social media, editing the truth to suit an agenda.

do you think were there a referendum held on Monday Scotland would remain in the Union?

That only really becomes relevant once there is a referendum to be had. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the Indy movement if we eventually get rid of the Tory govt, as at the moment it is probably a bit of a protest against the current shambles rather than a 'scexit' thing.

Next week -

"and joining us on the panel this week is former Tory PM Liz Truss "

Well yeah, but let's not forget that the Tory government being voted out won't change the Brexit question, which it's also arguably a reaction against.

Having lived there for seven years and spent a lot of time there recently trying to buy a house my impression is there is not a cat in hell's chance of Scotland remaining in the UK. They want to go back into the EU and sever links with the lunatics in Westminster. Who can blame them?

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

The debt the Tories have inflicted?

Next the argument will be that Scotland should not vote for independence because they can't afford to because they're sharing in the mess the Tory unionists have created.

We can do it pro rata. On a percentage base, they can take 10 times as much with them and we then charge the EU when they rejoin.

Job done.

Seems like some are loving the Kranky.

We are living in very strange times at the moment politically. I mean, we may not have a Prime Minister by Monday night. Stability is currently missing on so many fronts after 12 years of tory rule, and brexit is the root cause of that instability at the moment.

Their independence referendum in 2014 took place when our membership of the EU was a given, which was backed up with their voting remain in 2016.

As more than a few audience members stated during Question Time, the country has changed so much since 2014, a new referendum is now required as a result, but others pointed out that while SNP may have the majority of Scottish MP's in Westminster, there are still way more people voting for other parties that don't promote independence. The old first past the post syndrome.

To answer your qusetion, I don't know.

Thank you for your concern though. :-)

 

[Postman Pep]

Priorities eh.

 

[bluethrunthru]

Its quite fun - I feel genuinely sorry for Graham Stuart the Tory - he must have drawn a 2 of clubs off the deck of cards as I cannot see anyone wanting to voluntarily do this but its been working up to today and frankly he was always going to get fucked - but they all deserve it
