Scotland

[NanLaew]

What I do not understand is why the Scots always moan,they get 1500 pounds a year more in benefits per person a year than anyone else in the UK ,just had a new state of the art hospital built. What's the problem?

Maybe it is just this thread but there seems to be much more moaning from the Englanders (about Scotland) than from the Jockinese (about freedom).

My apologies for keep posting but it really is a gift that keeps giving, here is a quote from The Telegraph, who's lying now and they haven't taken their seats yet.

The First Minister disputes Alex Salmond's claim the SNP's election landslide moved Scotland closer to independence and insists she did not mislead voters that there was no link with separation.

Here is the full article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/nicola-sturgeon/11595602/Nicola-Sturgeon-I-didnt-lie-to-voters-about-independence.html

I hope I got the posting rules correct with regards quotes from the Press.

Salmond is no longer First Minister and if anyone thinks his public gloating is SNP policy...

Oh wait..., you were quoting a Telegraph article about a BBC interview. Never mind.

The Tories wouldn't mind Scotland going it alone; though they'd never say so publicly. There is no electoral capital for the Tories in Scotland. If the SNP goes into decline they will be replaced by Labour. In England & Wales alone the Tories could rule for a generation. The SNP has done well in this election but what leverage do they actually have in Westminster? Beyond a lot of hot air: nothing. Ditto the Labour party and anyone else in opposition, for that matter. The only problems they will have will be within their own party. Defections to UKIP are a non-starter now; nearly 4 million votes for one MP.

Yes i agree , the wee Scottish Witch is all mouth ,and no trousers she plays, soo many pipes .

She owes, her short lived victory ,to the ex Labour leader , Miili man , who loud mouthed against the SNP, BIG mistake.

Granted , he has not done as much damage to the Labour Party , as the champagne socialist, peace envoy ,Bliar.

Labour party , is totally finished . Sadly, the honorable ,and sincere intentions of Lloyd George ,and Nie Bevan .are lost ..forever..

The duly elected British PM,, with a majority in Parliment , will call her bluff ,

offer her another Scottish referendum , to leave the UK ...oil prices down....and her summary resignation will follow..ASAP.

The jocks ,are no fools , they need the UK ,investments and the benefits culture , same as the other foreigner immigrants .

God Save The Queen .A wee dram to you all,,,, to drown your sorrows.,

The wee Scottish lass , will wet herself , in her tartan nicks, sure,, ach aie man,,

What struck me was the time spent by Nicola S on the campaign trail. I get that she is the leader of the SNP, but, unlike the other leaders, she was not standing for election.

Her proper 'job' is as First Minister for Scotland. A position for which she is handsomely rewarded - a salary in excess of that of Cameron as PM.

So, can I take it that she was on unpaid leave from her position as FM? Yeah, right!!

Of course, some might say that keeping a certain Alex Salmon out of the firing line was a master stroke from the SNP. His toxic impact on potential voters in Scotland, as well as possible influence on mainstream UK parties that may have been considering an alignment with SNP, must have been a consideration. However, the plan to unleash him at Westminster is still on course, albeit with a vastly reduced impact level due to the likely Tory majority. He will obviously not show it, but he will be raging about the poor Labour performance that has stolen his thunder!!

Very short term thinking. Labour were basically unelectable....a party in chaos and unable to run the UK.

As the third biggest party in the Commons the Scottish voice will be heard much more in Parliament....we also have a PM who is still nursing his bloody nose over the independence vote.

My prediction is nothing will change much in Scotland...and the chaos will continue south of the border.

A decent result bearing in mind just what a shambles England now is.

The only spanner in the works may be a vote to leave the EU....but it will be the English who decide this.....Scotland will vote to stay.

Who gives a monkeys what scotland wants,give the English a vote on it and scotland would be got rid of like s.hit off a shovel.

5 million being taken note of by 55 million?,more like a fart in the wind

And that attitude is exactly the reason why Labour and the Lib Dums were annihilated in Scotland.

yes and replaced by a load of losers who will achieve nothing.
