    What about the 50,000 'more' nurses?

    Yes and using Nicola Krankie's logic we can block it and demand a second referendum in the likely event the Nats win it.

    The latest polls indicate that support for independence has dropped to 44%. Most Scots are nothing but hard headed realists. It is somewhat amusing to hear Sturgeon demanding that the way Scots voted in a UK referendum , a UK Scotland voted to remain in, should override the rest of the UK. There are as many people in Yorkshire as Scotland. Scotland can only remain in if they get independence. Then apply to join the EU and lose their independence. If they could meet EU requirements and they would have them.

    you don't actually believe another referendum will be the end of it do you - the genie's out now - if it comes out as remain under Labour then as soon as they're out of power, we'll be out again - this is what happens when you promise a once in a lifetime referendum but refuse to honour the result - its all a huge **** up really which has become very tribal

    Looking forward to paying thousands to have your gas boiler taken out and replaced and heating your house with more expensive electricity? Providing there is any electricity on a cold but wind free day. Of course only homeowners will be paying. Landlords will have to pay. So, more cost to be absorbed by ratepayers for all the houses where the council is the landlord.

    Half time score:

    Scum bags 0 - 0 Hose bags

    We may be heading for extra time.
    Most likely penalties ( but talk of rule changes to permit one replay).

    So far inconclusive. Hard to tell who's on top.

    It's of no interest to me what or who celebrities vote for.Are you intimating that they are any more politically informed than a forklift driver on minimum wage? I just don't get why you're name dropping celebrity Labour supporters but disrespecting Tory ones as 'top arseholes'?

    Corbyn's the one who wants to renationalise everything and return us to the 70s - for some reason he calls that progressive politics

    Dunno. I didn’t make any comment about that, or even attempt to. I was talking about a Scottish independence referendum, in response to you talking about the same.

    You can see a situation, given the vagaries of the voting system, where a Referendum on independence would end up in favour of staying but the SNP would get the vast majority of the MPs. More people voted to leave the EU, though more voted Remain, than voted for the SNP in the General Election. Which begs the question, who exactly’s wishes are the SNP representing?

    So, they want independence but the vote goes against it and more people want to leave the EU than vote for them but they could end up with over 50 MPs in the HOC waffling about independence and remaining in the EU. Not so long ago UKIP got 3 times the votes the SNP did and the Greens as many as the SNP and they only got 1 MP,each. Ridiculous.

    I know you've earlier confessed that you're a thicko - but for clarity's sake, I would not only intimate, I would actually testify under oath that Chomsky is 99.9% likely to be more politically informed than a forklift driver on minimum wage.

    If that helps.

    It's going to happen eventually whether Corbyn or Johnson are voted in. Gas for household energy is antiquated tech now. The Viking link and North Sea link will be completed in a few years to provide hydroelectric substitution on the rare occasions that there is no wind production. It's estimated that household gas supplies will be switched off by the end of the 2020s.

    Yes, true progress would be to go back to a time before the Empire was built, then we can just be known as 'England'. There'd be no more confusion about identity whereby people identify as 'European' or 'British'. Instead I will call myself 'White English'.
    Of course, renationalisation would be crazy in such circumstances. Why would we want to become self-sufficient on a national level, as a platform for progress, when we can work much better as a tax haven for the world's wealthiest and lose our services to the highest overseas bidder?
