Public Meeting

[LO]

Wow! As some of you know, I'm getting on a bit now and so decided to retire from posting a while back.

If we should stop posting because we are "getting on a bit," some of us would have had to quit posting in 1974.... had they had posts.

Ah now Bobbie, sure it was my own choice - a concept that will be lost for ever if ionssaigh's totalitarian nightmare ever comes to fruition.

General, I don't think that too many people will disagree with that sentiment.
In fact my only problem with your post (and I may have picked this up wrongly) is that you appear to be equating freedom with the somewhat skewed vision presented by our revolutionary pal from up the road. It seems that ionnsaigh wishes us all to have the freedom to be slaves. Even the status quo starts to look good compared to what he proposes (and that is looking more and more like a busted flush, in spite of what Big Gordy will say in Edinburgh this afternoon).

(and that is looking more and more like a busted flush, in spite of what Big Gordy will say in Edinburgh this afternoon).

He Said

"For the first time ever, over half of Scots have relatives from south of the border. We are all part of the United Kingdom."

Proud to be British

He added: "The SNP want Scotland separate from the UK and want to force Scotland to choose between Scotland and Britain.

"The Conservatives want English votes for English laws and want the English to choose between England and Britain.

"For all of my political life, I have stood up for Britain and I stand here today again to speak up for Britain and Britishness and for the values that make us proud of our Britishness."

As Mr Brown arrived at the Edinburgh venue he side-stepped waiting reporters' questions about damning comments made by former home secretary Charles Clarke.

Mr Clark accused Mr Brown of "absolutely stupid" behaviour during the furore over the Labour leadership crisis.

The second load of bull on this thread today

oh no you missed the point?

i won't use the usual examples of ireland and norway, my vision is bigger than that

OK general, I'm with you so far, as long as you don't start invoking ionnsaigh's sepia-tinted nostalgia for the USSR - now that was big!

I stopped at Kalashnikov, are you sure you've never been detained under the mental health act?

So what is the SNP policy on Mental Health ? do they use the same derogatory comments as your good self
Scotland forever

Can anyone tell me what the SNP's position is on membership of the European Union?

I doubt any politician would give the absolute crap you spouted the time of day... not even anyone from Screaming Lord Sutch's Monster Raving Loony Party!

Not Roberts relation- no surely not.

[Bruce]

I might share his birthday and his name and was born in the town where he is buried, but that is the only connection!

As for you, might I suggest that you go back to taking the tablets before you spout something even more stupid than you already have!

[Jock Strap]

This is boring - is it really the local news in Kintyre?

[John S]

I think some contributors maybe a bit off thread Jock, but there have been over 200 views, 21 posts, and 7 different contributors today, which is pretty good going fo the board of late. Do you not think that the political references are relevant issues for Kintyre?

Hmm, so humour also will be banned from year zero? SNP current policies are on the web at www.snp.org, these are currently under review.

In your Khmer Tartan utopia how would you deal with those who’s mental health would be considered a danger to themselves or others?

Would the issuing of Kalashnikov’s solve that problem?

Jock Strap is right, I'm going to shift this to another thread Mick with an opinion poll, in second thoughts nah, lets just forget it!
