Longshanks, you really are a miserable, lying, anti-democratic, boring, forelock-tugging boor.

That is all.

In order to resolve a complaint, you have to make a complaint there and then, rather than making a complaint on an unrelated website two weeks later.

Why so determined to run the country down, Longshanks? I am emphatically Not determined to run my country down. What you have said is deeply insulting. You clearly won't apologise in the place you posted this nasty slur. So be it. Reverse ad hominem. Slightly different tactic, Longshanks, I suppose...

The EU has one very good thing going for it. It is not the USA. Any move to withdraw from the EU would probably mean a movement towards the US, and every time the UK has adopted American strategies, the outcomes tend to be disastrous (e.g. when the US leaned on the UK to harden its attitudes to ille...

What do Maggie, Pentland Pirate and Nigel Farage have in Common?

All three are mis-reading the political landscape of Scotland.

It must be clear from my first post that I support UKIP, in particular because UKIP believe that decisions about Britain are best made by the people who live here.

Aye, and decisions about Scotland are best made by people who live in Scotland.

Ah, the (Charles) Kennedy manoeuvre: the attempt to strangle the Scottish referendum using the EU as a ligature. Much more of the same to follow.

If you believe Hitler was a socialist then you are a very confused bunny and further political discussion with you is going to prove difficult.

I'd hardly say that Pirate's vomitus (see above) against the character of the Scottish people counts as 'political discussion' anyway.

Here's a link to the actual Calman blog. She makes some good points:

This’ll be the daughter of Sir Kenneth Charles Calman, convenor of the Calman Commission on devolution.

PP, and Longshanks.

There is actually a lot that both of you have brought up that has to be taken into account.

Good! This is the measure of a healthy debate.

Independence: Scots voting for Scottish representatives which deal with Scots issues, in Scotland, i.e. having a say in our own affairs is all the ‘Independence’ that we need. Longshanks is employing a reduction-to-absurdity argument, however, by redefining the idea of independence in terms of isola...

I’m afraid that when it comes to oil assets, one set of figures is about as definitive as another, in that there is no definitive set; or, alternatively, there is a plethora of ‘definitive’ sets of figures. If we are to get into a conversation about political spin, it will apply to all sides, as tha...

Longshanks: 'If I'm correct then the SNP leaflet which came through my letterbox the other day is guilty of gross misrepresentation.'

It wasn't an 'SNP leaflet'. Who's misrepresenting things now?

Certainly not trying to be 'cool' :? . My OP was about the front of the leaflet..depicting an unruly child, something which turns people off. It gives the [maybe subliminal?] message that 'Scottish' [he might be any nationality?] that tantrums and aggression are inherent in Scots. I find your inter...

Could someone please explain why the introduction of the 30mph zone applies to the north of the island only? You either apply it to the whole island or not at all. Folk will just be speeding down the Balvicar straight and Cuan and Ellenabeich roads worse than ever, after being ‘slowed down’ at the t...

Guardian, Independent, Daily Mail, Morning Star, etc. All available free online, you know.

You'd think that living in a lovely place would make a difference..imagine being in a slum in a city. I'm guessing that there are some who are bored and like a bit of a battle, or..some who are not getting enough nookie...? Someone tell me if you have any idea? :? Look at the forum as being a ‘crab...
