Your troubles, amongst others, PP, are that, though likeable, you really are an imprecise and woolly reader and thinker: In this case, I said "quite soon" and "the day is drawing nigh".
Indeed the whole point of this thread is that we are looking to and discussing THE FUTURE, extrapolating from the results of last week. Too challenging for a twit who lives and quotes from the newspapers of cads and bounders about the past.
Shape up, old fella, or ship out - Boris would welcome you down in twitville!!
Still, we love you here.......we need eccentric nutters and twitters

Spiderman, you say of me
you really are an imprecise and woolly reader and thinker
and then you immediately say
"quite soon" and "the day is drawing nigh
How imprecise and woolly is that?
By all means build for the future, but take a few lessons from the past. If independence is to come for the UK , you better go back in your cave, because I think it will be several generations off at least. As the article indicates I don't believe it will happen in our future.

Although I'm Italian of course, I would like to see Scottish independence. Just because it's right for any country and because the government in Edinburgh is doing a good job. I have English, Indian, Chinese and Polish friends who vote SNP. It's not about Scotland vs England. It's about the right of any country to control its own affairs.

Although I agree that the majority of scots do not want independence as yet its only a matter of time, also PP read a different paper.....the Daily Torygraph indeed.

And when it runs out will Scotland come on bended knees, knocking on the door and meekly begging to be let back in the UK?
Once out is there a way back in? Or are you all short-termists who don't care for the long term future of Scotland?

As I said already, let's just agree to differ, PP. My view is that, in terms of sustainability, population density, natural resources and potential for economic growth, Scotland is considerably better off than England. Not too many of England's past colonies have "come on bended knees, knocking on the door and meekly begging to be let back in"!! You must be joking!!
But this isn't a Scotland vs England thing.....I know a lot of pro-SNP English men and women.....so, c'mon, PP, repent and join us!!

I don't like this topic...it's volatile (not in an entertaining way), boring and lost its steam when folk began to mis-quote poetry...

Well, yes it is difficult to justify comparisons with Zimbabwe after all

Well, CanU, why not just start a new topic? It's a while since you took the initiative....

Yes there are many similarities between zimbabwe and scotland.......rich white farmers for a start.......(only joking)
Although Scotland usually welcomes with open arms displaced white folk running away from the "blex".
