The Independent. Fucking hell.

Will you vote for independence?
- Thread starter ska invita
- Start date
If you choose to behave like that it would be your choice. Personally, I'd be selling the paper immediately after the successful independence vote: the reputation garnered by campaigning for independence would be worth quite a bit - 'The paper that won it for Scotland' and all that. There's still time, so why don't you do it?

So many particulars. So many questions.
unless you want to be more than a fanzine you have to do more than simply push one issue
you aren't this thick quartz.
you aren't this thick quartz.
True, but you let the newspaper do that. You encourage their normal journalism; you just set the editorial policy. Push Yes in a good proportion of the editorials. Place Yes articles more prominently. Etc. That's how the other papers do it.

if running your own newspaper is the key to success then something is badly wrong in brit trot land

I think Quartz says something daft, forgets what the original debate was about, and then gets carried away.

Anyway, I'll go off and make a billion in stocks and stuff like that. All I need is a good idea. I think I will invest my savings in dairy companies. Loads of people eat cheese. No brainer.
Two sheds, speak to Cameron about buying some hospitals. Tell him I will bring some cash once people buy some dairy products.

I hate that Best of Both Worlds bullshit. What the fuck does it mean? Best of a corrupt, pompous Westminster and the best of a regional Parliament with virtually no fiscal responsibilities.

ETA: aw fuck...I knew the flags rang a bell, I am tired and just saw a massive pallet bonfire that I wanted to light.
Fantastic. I now see that they are clever wise people with the kind of attention to detail that means they are entitled to run the country.
I did sort of wonder if that bloke might be having early-stage Alzehimer's or similar. His whole delivery was very odd.
However, it's also true that such odd people do exist and I just don't tend to encounter them at all often. (I would run away fast if I did).
Definitely a touch of Ian Paisley about him, though.

I don't know for certain, but I imagine that if you managed to light it before the Orange types did, they would be all sad and frustrated and you would have had your firey fun, which sounds all right.
You've probably missed your chance for this year but I suppose they'll be at it again next year. And again and again.
Edit: Just had a thought. The bastards probably guard their big firewood heaps precisely so that no-one can spoil their "fun".

I don't have a high opinion of Salmond and the SNP but you don't have to be SNP to support Scottish independence. My bottom line is that I don't think England would be a better country without Scotland. And if I moved north of the border I'd be attracted by a Catalan type option (which in practice isn't far from the model Salmon is offering for an 'independent' Scotland anyway). But England and Scotland are parochial enough as it is and going out into an expanding world as Norway and Spain instead of one of the four main European states does not sound very attractive.
I would find the arguments from the likes of Tommy Sheridan to vote yes to get the Tories off your back as tempting. But I remember after Ken Livingstone's re-election the idea of London becoming a Singapore style independent city state being floated in certain circles. What could possibly have gone wrong.
What I do find frustrating in England is whining and moaning about the Scots and Welsh wanting a different relationship with Westminster but outside the metropolitan areas have no intelligent narrative of their own on devolution or federation. Apart from some bunch of fringe weirdos called the English Democrats who just seem to be Kippers who want free prescriptions.

Afaik that Yes flag was cut and stolen from a banner(possibly Lanark/Bellshill area) and the Police have been notified as it's now classified as a hate crime

isn't there normally an effigy on the top

A lynched effigy of Gerry Adams wearing a Celtic top. They really are lovely lovely people.
How is this different from an effigy of, say, Margaret Thatcher? And then there are the revelations of his non-political activities...

Really? Isn't that just your interpretation?
